Guest guest Posted January 13, 2003 Report Share Posted January 13, 2003 We also use Child Neurology Associates. This is who Marcus referred us to. Emory Autism Center is mainly for dx, as far as I know there are no neurologists working there. The main thing they do is the ADOS. They also have a year waiting list just to get in, the last I heard. Also in her defense, I really like Dr. Pakula. Although, I have heard many people have had bad experiences, mainly in the past I think. Jill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted January 13, 2003 Report Share Posted January 13, 2003 Thank you so much for that link. I bookmarked it and plan on giving them a call. I have a feeling they will have an autism expert on staff. Thank you! Lori Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 14, 2003 Report Share Posted January 14, 2003 Lori, I work at the Emory Autism Center and they do have medical doctors on staff. In addition to diagnostics, there is a medicaiton clinic. Dr. Lee deals exclusively with medication issues and autism. There is a short wait time currently to be seen by him. Call the Autism Center at to get an informaiton packet. We accept medicaid for the medication clinic. For neuro, we recommend the group at Emory, in particular Dr. Krawiecki () Hope this helps.
