Does anyone know anything about Dr. Bradstreet in Florida?

[Guest guest]

We have been researching DAN! doctors and he appears to be the closest

MD to us at 2.5 hours away(we are in South Florida). I had a GREAT

conversation with the intake nurse the other day on the GFCF diet and

I'm about to schedule an appt with the doctor. I was hoping someone

has been to him or knows something about him before I do schedule.

BTW, my DS will be 4 in March and has severe verbal and oral apraxia

and mild hypotonia. He has 100+ approximations (that he has just

acquired in the past 9-12 months) but only in one word utterances. He

is not on the spectrum but his apraxia is so severe that we are very

interested in some biomedical intervention (we just started CF two

weeks ago).

Thanks!

We have been doing DAN since November 2006 and recently switched to

Dr. Bradstreet about 4 months ago. So far I really really like

him. He is to the point, doesn't waist your money and time and

understands that parents are spending their own money to come see

him.

He listens and is addressing my concerns about my son. My previous

DAN only tried to push her own agenda (Chelation) and never saw past

that.

I like him and his staff has been nice.

My best friend takes her kids there. Great practice. Absolutely

wonderful people. Her kids see both Dr. B and Dr. Rosignal.

(sp?). Because Dr. Bradstreet is out of town so often, you may want

to see Dr. Rosignal instead. Both doctors are wonderful. Both have

kids affected by autism. Dr. Rosignal is just a bit more available

for families.

My pediatrician (we're just outside of Orlando) even sends kids over

to see them. I am thinking of taking Grace over in the coming

year and have Dr. Rosignal evaluate her.

Whichever doctor you choose, you can feel confident about taking them

there. They have folks fly in from all over the country, and even

from other countries, just to see them.

Hope that helps

Were in California and we see him. The first time we saw him in

person in Arizona at the CARD office and the second time, we just

did a phone consult to get lab results and go over a protocol.

So far so good. He is well known in the Autism community. He is

always a key not speaker at the DAN conferences and has done

extensive research.

I would say that, to me, Dr. Bradstreet seems to use a lot of pharma

drugs versus naturals. He also seems very aggressive in his

treatment. When you ask him questions, he really describes the

science and research behind everything. This was just my

experience. I am not saying this is good or bad since that depends

on the child and the parents and what works for them.

Good luck.
