Are you north of McKinney? I have BCBS (PPO not HMO so some of the docs may

be different) but there is one in Plano that might work for you if it's not

too far -- Dr. Mc. He's very conventional and not really up on

spectrum stuff but patient and good with kids and probably would be open to

giving you the referrals you need.

Where do you live? You mentioned you're looking in McKinney but I'm not sure

where that is? If you're anywhere in the Houston area, I would recommend where

we take our boys. Let me know.

Help Please!

I am on a quest to find a GREAT primary care physician for my daughter. (I

only have two choices where I live, and they are both great people, but

awful spectrum ped.s...I could explain better, but can't even go there

today) Anyway...I am looking in McKinney. (more than half an hour from us)

I have Blue Cross HMO insurance and these are my only options,.

WILLIAM A KESSINGER, MD

Do any of you know anything about any of them, or do you know someone near

McKinney, or north of there that is GOOD and EXPERIENCED with ASD(autism

spectrum disorder) and SID (sensory integration disorder)

I need someone that will hop right in and re-do all of our

referrals...because I loose those when I switch. However, when my daughter

is hurt, I don't trust our ped. to handle it...and that is SO STRESSFUL! I

waited for two hours to get into his office yesterday after Grace fell off

of a horse. TWO HOURS...and then he glanced in her mouth, turned her head,

and said she was fine. I went from relieved to mortified...how the hell

does HE KNOW THAT? She can stand in FIRE ANTS and NOT FEEL IT....is he

counting on HER reaction? She was CRYING from pain yesterday. She was

lethargic, and feverish yesterday afternoon, and he TOTALLY blew us off. I

think she is okay...I couldn't sleep last night, but she is up this morning,

SWOLLEN but more herself than yesterday. She still isn't eating, and I

can't decide whether to take her back to the bozo she goes to or just save

my co-pay and buy her more Tylenol. Honest to God that would most likely be

my better option. I hate the situation, but I feel stuck because of the

referrals. (we have two MAJOR appointments coming up (Callier center at

$350, and Neurology appt. at $650 and that is WITHOUT the tests that need to

be done, the referrals are important)

Any input would be appreciated...especially if you know anything about the

doctors mentioned.

Thank you.

I am a couple of hours north of Dallas (near Sherman Tx. off of 75)...a long

way from Houston. I went to see the Ped again today and he was nice....and

willing to do more referrals...said he would do X-rays on her face if I

wanted today,but that there really wasn't anything we could do if her chin

is fractured anyway...so I was more comfortable with his " apathy " . He is so

" laid back " that it can concern me...but I wouldn't want him freaking out

either. My husband asked me if I knew what I wanted...and I have to admit

that I am not sure I do...but I am SURE of what I DON'T want. (not a very

powerful attitude, huh?)
