Developmental Pediatrician in ville

[Guest guest]

Does anyone know anything about a Dr. Mike Rios in ville. A friend of mine

was referred to him, but I do not know anything about him. Any input would be

appreciated. Thanks

I personally have not had any dealings with him but I have several

friends who use him and are happy. The choice for this type of Dr.

in our area is fairly limited and my understanding is that this

person has a very good bedside manner when it comes to dealing with

parents.

I hope this helps.

Hello,

My daughter was evaluated by Dr.Rios and I found him extremely polite

and personable! We were able to have her evaluated within 2 weeks

instead of 6-8month wait for the one at children's hosp. He talked

on the phone with me for over an hour before having her evaluated!

The evaluation took 3 hours for our daughter. Even though she can

read >200 words, count>150, knows shapes, animals, and colors,

labels everything...he really zoned in on her deficits like:

expressing herself, pointing, looking at us(parents) for referencing,

engaging her in play, showing us items she liked ect... she did great

with no screaming:) The diagnoses was autism. He is a big beliver in

ABA and is trying to have ABA therapist & speech therapist work out of

the office with him..sorta of like a autism center. The only

drawback was he does not accept insurance and the eval. is $500.00.

With time so crucial in treatment we did not want to wait 6-8 months

to find out. It was worth it to me.

I can vouch for Dr. Rios. We saw him for quite some time and were very

pleased with him. It is hard because he does not accept insurance but

well worth having him working with your child.

The only reason that we left was because of a diagnosis of Bipolar which

has recently been added to with an Asperger's diagnosis. I continue to

recommend him to families and also hope to work closely with him in the

future on other issues that relate to services for our children. Feel

free to call me if you have any questions about Mike and the awesome

treatments he provides to the kiddos. He is as honest and concerned as

they come.
