DAN doctors in FL...

  Back to Autism Information >> Next Topic

Hi everyone. I am wondering if anyone here has seen or heard of Dr Julie Buckley in Ponte Vedra FL.. I have heard that she is really good but I know that she doesnt accept insurance. If anyone has any info, I would really appreciate it. Thanks!

I live in Florida, Tallahassee to be exact.  Most of the parents here who take their children to Dan docs take their children to Drs Bradstreet and Rossignol in Melbourne even though Jacksonville is closer.  I have never been to Dr. Buckley, but from what I had heard from other parents who switched from her to the Melbourne Dr.'s, she could only take their kids to a certain point and then their children just stalled...she was not "cutting edge" enough.  Also, they have a waiting list there that is about a year long...or even longer.  I called their office in June requesting an appt with either one of their docs, filled out all of the required information, and still haven't heard anything from them to even get on their waiting list.  In the meantime, I have already taken Adam to see Dr. Rossignol in Melbourne (although you dont' have to actually travel to him, you can do your first appt over the phone and he will order lab tests and you can do phone consults for your appts and you just have to travel to see him once a year), done all of our tests, gotten results and had a follow up consultation (the follow up was today in fact).  I am extremely pleased that I decided to go with Melbourne instead of Jax even though it is much further from us.  The docs in Melbourne do not take insurance either, although they will give you paperwork that you can use to file for reimbursement from your insurance company, and they will also work with you on ordering your lab work from labs that do take your insurance if possible.

I do know one person who goes to Dr Bradstreet, but I haven't talked to her in ages.
Thanks Paynesmom.. I just wish I could find one that accepts tricare insurance. I know you can submit the claim to them but I have no idea how much they would pay for I have no idea...sorry on that one...none of the autism mom's that I know have that insurance. Just so you know, Dr. Bradstreet basically fled Melbourne after his divorce and is now in Arizona.  The school he was affiliated with was left in veritable shambles but has since been taken over by some very dedicated people and is going strong again. 

Dr. Rossignol is still here but has switched locations.

What you mean is that he isn't there as often.  Scott the PA is there regularly.  Besides, Dr B isn't taking patients in his FL office, but he is accepting them via his AZ office.  You check out their website.
