Each of our doctors is a board-certified pediatrician. We have over 80 years of combined experience in the diagnosis and treatment of developmental and learning differences and over 100 combined years in pediatric care. They are each deeply involved locally and nationally with medical research and family support organizations, especially as they relate to developmental and learning issues.  Their involvement provides direct benefit to our patients who gain access to a rich network of resources, information, and knowledge of the most current and effective diagnostic and treatment strategies.  For a short bio on each of the doctors, see the "About Us" page.
