To you awesome warrior Moms...I really need a physician referral in lakeland, Florida or nearby!!!

[Guest guest]

Hello amazing amazing ladies that I have been learning from for only about 6 months......feels like years. :-) You all have changed my world, given me hope beyond anything I could have dreamt. Although I am new to biomed, I am a huge promoter, and we have actually raised some funds online from perfect strangers supporting our cause, to go and see Dr. Dan Rossignol and Dr. Bradstreet in Melbourne, Florida.....the best from what I hear in the DAN! world, closest we can find from us in Lakeland. We have a long way to go to raise enough to see them more than once, but we have enough for our first appointment which is going to be $445, plus bloodwork. Our 4.5 year old asd/adhd boy has been nothing short of an extreme rollercoaster of behavioral

issues......some days are golden, others are literal living hell......lol. sigh. I cannot keep up with all the amazing informative posts and research, so I look forward to handing over the burden to Dr. Rossignol and Bradstreet who can help me navigate better than I have the time for, as I try to earn income and care for my kiddos most all day long. (we also have a 16 month old baby girl who is now hitting because Landon hits her......). Here is my issue listmates...... With Dr. Rossignol in Melbourne, Fla.....they suggest that we approach our pediatrician (totally useless) and ascertain if they are willing to sign off on bloodwork orders written by the DAN!, and the DAN will interpret. This gets it covered by insurance usually. Our pediatrician today told us that "these DAN! doctors are quacks and profiteers and taking advantage of you. I haven't found anyone yet who can

provide me with science to show that autism and adhd can be cured by such quacks". I know for a fact he is one of the billions of physicians with their heads buried in the sand or in the pockets of big pharma. Drug the boy.....that's of COURSE the ONLY option,.....biomedical PRACTICAL PHYSIOLOGY-based EVIDENCE of imbalances and the GUT-BRAIN connection simply don't exist!!!!!!!!! So.....I am in search of a Pediatrician or developmental pediatrician and I am willing to drive wherever......our zip is 33812, who WOULD be on board with my seeing a specialist who requests bloodwork and will interpret it. I am trying to get it covered by insurance. We have medicaid...and generally they have been great thus far, we have CMS network for special needs. Any referral or research advice before I start

calling every single pediatrician I can find in Lakeland, Plant City, Lake Wales, Bartow, Winter Haven, Auburndale to see if they would be willing to sign off on bloodwork requested by a Dan! dr. I am so hopeful not for a "cure" but for a better quality of life for my truly precious boy that I would die for,.....even on his very very worst of days. Thanks everyone, hugs!!

That's cool you are going to see Dr. Rossignol. :-)But Dr. Berger is closer (in Tampa.)We use Dr. III with Clinic because he is no-vax friendly. Previously we were with Tamara Pistoria who was in Winter Haven. She was also no vax friendly. Well she was, and we had an issue so I left her (I wanted her to special order a vax, she did, it expired, she must have got in trouble, and so she refused to order it again... this was when I was slow/single vaxing and not anti-vax). But anyway, she is now with Clinic in Lakeland too. She might sign off on bloodwork, but I don't think would. He didn't even want to test for MTHFR because he said " I don't know how to treat it, so why would I test for it? "

I would not try Dr. Ford in Highland City " Kids First Pediatrics. " She's does not have a good practice at all. Bad bedside manner and just bad service.BTW check with the ins co about blood work. I thought I would have to have a covered doctor write the lab sheet, but my ins co paid the labwork as long as I went to an in network lab, it didn't matter if the doctor who wrote the lab sheet up was in network or not.

Toni, Hmmm,..that sounds almost too easy.......I wonder what the catch is? The intake nurse at dr. Rossignol's office who called me to give me info and protocol said I needed a physician to sign off on the bloodwork to have it covered by insurance. So....are you saying (forgive my blondeness here...) that I can take the sheet Dr. Rossignol (or Dr. Berger....is he better you think? Should I go to him instead for real?) gives us with blood orders to an in-network lab (we have medicaid, getting a hold of them is like winning the lottery...lol) and then all that bloodwork would be covered? For real? How come the intake nurse didn't say that I wonder? Anyhow, thanks a million. Have you seen Dr. Berger, and

what kind of bedside manner and qualifications does he have, and what are his fees? Any info would be so helpful. Thanks a million. I have so much hope right now, the promise of improving Landon's quality of life you know? That's all I needed for Christmas....hope. :-) Alisabeth To: mb12valtrex Sent: Tuesday, December 13, 2011 11:35 PM Subject: Re: To you awesome warrior Moms...I really need a physician referral in lakeland, Florida or nearby!!!

I like Dr. Berger. He is very nice. He might not be as " aggressive " as I wanted to be on some things but he might know better than me, about going slow etc. Appts are easy since they are close. Driving to Melbourne will take all day even if it's only 2.5 hours. Eventually you might want to move to dr. Rossignol, so I guess it's up to you if you want to start with a celebrity (of sorts) or someone closer.

I don't know how medicaid works for blood draws. So the lady at Dr. R's office might be right.I also see a Dr. Mondello in Winter Haven. He is a family doc but his office is predominately older people.

However he would likely sign off on blood work. Only ask for HIM not his nurse of NP or coworker.Dr. Mondello is very sweet and easy going. He does lab draws in his office so there might be a chance to do it that way??

 Anyhow, thanks a million. Have you seen Dr. Berger, and

You ROCK. Thanks a million for the info....I will call Dr. Mondello tomorrow and make an appt. We currently also have Blue Cross for about 30 days in case he doesn't accept medicaid.....my hubby cannot continue at Geico any longer,.....he is away from Landon 3 pm to midnight, and Landon cried and cried last night, so Daddy is working on other job opportunities in the insurance field instead while I hold down the fort with my job. Kiddos mental health takes priority,...happy boy = happy house! lol.

My college student daughter shadowed Dr. Cornelia Franz:

http://drcorneliafranz.com/joomla/

I don't know if Orlando is too far for you. My daughter says Dr. Franz is

awesome and she thinks that she would definitely work with a DAN doctor for you.

She also sends a lot of patients to a local traditional chinese medicine doctor

and also uses some homeopathic remedies. She is in high demand, so it can take

a while to get an appointment. Also, you want to see HER, not necessarily the

others in her practice. They do not all think alike.

The other thing I would do is google search terms like " wholistic family

physician " , etc. That is how I found a family physician in my town who is also

an MD and accepts insurance. A quick search with that term and Lakeland

produced the practice " Family Clinic. " I didn't go find a website of

theirs and obviously know nothing about them, but maybe a search will turn

something up.

To add to Toni's comments, we also see Dr. Berger. He is super nice, hugs

us when we come into the office, etc. He does know his stuff and is always

willing to listen to you as the parents and never pushes you to do something you

aren't ready to do.

He is a pediatrician and he speaks at the DAN conferences. He is expensive and

does not file insurance, but he charges per 5 minutes, so you only get charged

for your actual time with him. They also give you paperwork so you can try to

get reimbursed by your insurance company. He does phone appointments after your

initial in-office visit if that is easier for you.

As far as lab work goes, some of the labs (like an OAT with Great Plains) are

not usually covered by insurance. You pay his office up front for it and then

take the kit home (it is a urine test) and mail it off (postage is included with

the kit.) Dr. Berger's office doesn't tack on a fee for that. For regular

bloodwork that is usually covered by insurance, you can either go to your own

lab to get it done or they will do the draw at their office and file with

insurance for it. There is an extra fee you have to pay for them to do the draw

in office ($15.) We find it worth the $15 because of how well they work with my

children to get the blood. Also, when you need little things that follow up

from a previous appt, they work with you on the phone and do not charge for

that.

They are a small office and very comfy to visit. Dr. Berger is the only

physician and then he has his nurse, , and four other employees. He

often has students shadowing there (he is an assistant professor with the USF

nursing school.) He always asks your permission to have someone sit in. One

time, a physician from Peru (I think?) sat in because he was learning the DAN

protocol to practice in his own country.

Rossignol is supposed to be very good, so I am not trying to talk you out of

seeing him, I am just giving you some info on Dr. Berger so you know you have

other options.

Also, I do not know how things work with Medicaid and how different it might be.

I have BCBS. They cover regular labs just fine, but have really stunk about

crediting me for anything that is considered out of network. They either just

completely ignore my claims or only credit a teensy fraction of the cost or give

some lame excuse for why they aren't crediting my deductible at all. I hate

BCBS!

Cathy, I have bcbs (of Mass.) and so far, they've covered OATS and all the labs my doc has ordered. He used a "malabsorbtion" code and everything went through just fine. I did have to shell $130 for pay-assured for one of the tests, because I didn't meet the deductable for out of network services, but it was well worth it. I've also registered my son for the SCIA study and called ahead to BCBS to see how much they'd be willing to cover. Turns out, they'll cover it all. 100%. (I can look up the code for that, too, if you'd like)Not too shabby. It's all in the coding. The finance lady at my son's integrative doctor's office told me BCBS covers more than anyone

else. -Tammy To: mb12valtrex Sent: Wednesday, December 14, 2011 10:35 AM Subject: Re: To you awesome warrior Moms...I really need a physician referral in lakeland, Florida or nearby!!!
