[ ] Need Doctor in Northern NJ

I just came from the pediatrician and she has suggested that I see a

Dev. Pediatrican and also a Pediatric Geneticist...who can guide me

through various tests (related to autism...) and their interpretation

as she said she might not be giving the correct interpretation and

guidance (like for eg the Org.Acids Tests, yeast issues, gut problems,

etc...) .Any suggestions/recommendations?? Would these doctors really

be able to address these issues??

Is a DAN doctor the only solution?..How about a nutritionist? I need

someone who can give me authorization for the various tests. Any

recommendations for DAN doc and nutritionists in Northern NJ.

Meanwhile I have started giving him probiotics, GSE , avoiding all junk

food including sugars...but for me to get the CDSA test, metal

testings, IgG/IgE, I need a doctor...

I just moved out of central New Jersey. We used to be a patient of Dr.

Nuebrander. You may not get Dr. Nuebrander but will get one of his assisstants.

I have mixed feeling about the services offered -- mostly negative to be honest.

One of the worst things is the AMOUNT OF PAIN IN THE !@# PAPERWORK! Dealing

with my son's autism was bad enough -- dealing with the project of paperwork was

horrible!! Treatment of parents is also sometimes horrible. If you don't

follow the 1001 rules the office has, the office can FIRE the patient. Yes,

they can and will dump you! Lots of the staff -- probably the majority are Dr.

Nuebrander's family -- so you can imagine they type of customer service you

receive! Every so often you get an email with " new office rules " .

Also, the office pushes MB12. While MB12 helps many kids -- it does not help

all kids. When a product does not work, you should not dwell on it -- move on

to the next treatment! They also advise you to buy expensive products -- like

Dr. N's supplement powder -- $75/month.

On the positive end, Dr. Nuebrander is very experienced. The printed advice

the office gives after each visit is very helpful.

If I were you, I would select a DAN -- but not Dr. Nuebrander. The DAN should

send you to a good Genetic specialist who is experienced with autistics.

Good luck.

actually,...... There is no firing of patients anymore and the paperwork wasn't

so bad to me! It's for 4 months and I personally , will continue to do even tho

it is no longer required....... It is VERY helpful to me to see for myself all

the little things going on you would normally miss in the mix with all the big

things! I have found his staff to be AWESOME!!!!Not only do I get answers during

the day, but someone checks BIOCHAT several times a night to see if anyone needs

help or has questions. ( I personally have never sat in the chatroom for more

than 15 min w/o Rick checking in to see if anyone is there needing help.) When

you realize how many hours (and days) they put into helping our children, I

would think it would be easy to understand they expect the parents to be just as

committed! I have been SO happy with Dr. Neubranders office! I have followed

everything to the " T " and have seen remarkable progress! I'm so happy with my

decision! It was the best thing I have done for my son! And BECAUSE of the

DETAIL , I feel they have been able to help my child come SO far so Quickly ! If

I had not done that paperwork the way he requested (cut corners) how could he

possibly do his job ??? I have done the work and SAVED alot of money and

aggrevation on both our parts! If I don't give him the tools he needs to make

the best decision he can, I have not done my Job........I live in Ga, but THAT

OFFICE IS WHERE I WANT TO BE!!!!! I am one person, but this is my

opinion......... Do with it what you may......... Oh.....The supplement powder

is 75.00, but you dont HAVE to use it.....It's a choice... I was using ASD-Plex

before I went there and it was more than Dr. N's....... Wouldn't matter tho....

BEST MONEY I EVER SPENT!!!!! I'm SO happy with this office!!!! I wouldn't even

consider being anywhere else!!!!!

I thought several times before posting what amounts to a bashing of Dr.

Nuebranders practice. I decided to write this because the folks here have given

me so much that I felt I should be honest about my experience with Dr.

Nuebrander's office. That's what this site is about.

I respect your endorsement but respectfully disagree with some of the office

practices. Its either Dr. Nuebranders way or the highway -- he prints that he

can fire you. I can to a cut and paste here but I think that's enough. Those

who love the practice are primarily those whose kids are improving on MB12. It

also helps if you are a stay at home Mom to fill out all that paperwork. When

things work out, the office is great -- but one of the problems with autism is

that you need to try many different things.

OK, now I'll go into specifics. Perhaps you got to see Dr. N himself. We

were not that fortunate. We had an intern who I felt I was training! It was

like we were learning about autism together. The person was real nice but I was

desperate for an expert.

When I first entered the good Dr's practice I heard about MB12, chelation,

HBOT and other treatments. I told them that my son was almost 5 (the golden

window was 1.5 months from closing) and I wanted to chelate but was too

chicken-hearted to try it myself (I found this group a few months later). The

Dr's office said MB12 is how we start -- period. Again, it was the doctors way

or the highway. I could not get another DAN so we wasted several months trying

MB12 which did little good. Eventually I tried other things like chelation on

my own -- which pissed off the good doctor -- he wrote to me about the dangers

of chelation ...but things for my son improved -- no thanks to the good doctor.

Before you start any treatment, I think a kid should be tested -- for mercury

-- hair test, gut issues, viral etc. No tests were ordered prior to MB12. I

had to suggest testing from my independent reading! I had to suggest valtrex

from my independent reading!

When the big test boxes arrived from Smokies Lab and others, I did not know

where to go with them -- labcorp, Quest? So I called the office and a relative

answered (secretary) and told me to " just read the instructions " and if I spend

too much time on the phone then I need to pay for a phone consultation.

Eventually, I learned I needed to go to a hospital lab to have blood drawn -- I

didn't know! I just needed help. To be fair, the women later apologized and

said she was cranky because they were in the process of moving from a smaller

office to a bigger office.

Perhaps my experience would have been better had I received the services of

Dr. N himself -- who knows? What I remember the most is the hours of paperwork.

I recall my wife asking me what am I doing all the time -- I would tell her --

" getting ready for Dr N's appointment! " .

I am not bashing your experience at all. I am telling mine also......... 2.5

months ago, he decided to forgo the firing practice and only require paperwork

like that for 4 cycles.( MUCH to my dismay) I will continue to do it. Maybe you

think it is easier for stay at home MOMS-- I disagree. I have 6 children AND run

a daycare 12 hours a day! There are NEVER enough hours for ANY life! I made a

CHOICE. I don't discredit anyone else's choice..... I decided in the beginning

(as MY son was also diagnosed very late!) not to bother doing it IF I couldn't

give it my ALL! I am certainly NOT saying anyone else's ALL was any different.

IT HAS BEEN HARD WORK--- IT HAS ALSO BEEN WORTH IT! I couldn't do my paperwork

all throughout the week either.........Not even a little bit.... It wasn't easy,

but, I felt if I did EVERYTHING that was asked, they could make MUCH better

judgements in treatment. I personally, do not agree with phone consults when the

doctor only gets informed about what WE consider important to discuss..... WE

might miss things that REALLY ARE IMPORTANT to treatment. I did all my research

for quite a while before deciding on a DAN! . I looked at 12 really hard, then

talked to patients from each one before making a decision. Hands down, I kept

coming back to this practice. I GET IT!!!! All of us have to do what we think

is best for our children......... He may not have been for you and your family,

and I respect that. He is , however, PERFECT for mine and I am VERY pleased.

REALLY,......

I think this can be said for ANY doctor.... I wanted to give my take on his

office

for the same reasons you did. Being able to be honest on a site for all of us to

make important choices for our children...I respect your decisions and hope you

feel the same way. I am not at war with you or anyone...... There really are

different strokes for different folks. Peoples personalities also play an

important part.

I only know Dr. Neubrander from his lectures at DAN! conferences,

but I can very much imagine your experience with him is not unique.

He has done so much for many kids, but he does it one way. mB12 is

his baby and he is very protective. He is not shy to say 'my way or

the highway' in public, so I know he must be forceful in private,

too!

I'm happy to hear you gathered the guts to chelate (took me two

years!). mB12 wasn't our miracle, either.

Take care. Thank you for sharing; it is invaluable.

Just a kind note to those who of us in situations where we disagree

While I do agree that if something does not help you child, you should

move on to other things, I would recommend not giving up on that

intervention entirely. There were a lot of things that did nothing for

my son, or caused problems, but when I decided to figure out WHY those

things did nothing or caused problems, I learned information that was

VERY helpful for my son's recovery.

I see nutritionist Peta Cohen MS RD at the Total Life Center. I love

her. She looked at my son and his test results and taylored a

program to fit what he needed. 201-541-7601 Total Life Center, 11

North Dean St. Englewood NJ 07631. My son has done great things with

her care.

She works with DAN Dr. Jo Feingold for chelation. Dr. Jo is at First

I think it might be you who is misunderstanding, . I am not

I'm glad you weren't offended. I only mentioned the writing in caps

concern because I have seen so many arguements start on these lists

when people misinterpret other's emails. I was trying to ward off a

Well, I guess I feel like it helps to

put the emphasis on correct words so there is no misinterpretation.

It's really unbelievable how everything is offensive.....

I see your point Pam. I agree that many mis-communications occur with emails.

I write emails to co-workers and out of 3 people who read them -- each may have

a different interpretation. I wind up telling folks " I didn't mean it that

way... "

We need to think twice before hitting the send button. Yup, point well taken.

concern because I have seen so many arguements start on these lists

when people misinterpret other's emails. I was trying to ward off a

battle that actually wasn't brewing, I guess.

> Point well taken. In my son's case, I believe his high testosterone

would not allow MB12 to work. I do plan to revisit MB12 in the

future. I wonder why MB12 does not work for other kids?

Depends on why they have language issues. B12 worked for my son for

behaviors, but really did not do much for language. He needed OTHER

interventions for the most improvement in language.
