From what I have heard, Dr. Kartizel, ( he's a DAn doctor, not sure if that's what you are looking for? - he treated Jenny McCarthy's son) has recently relocated to Jacksonville, FL ...
Dr. David Berger is in Tampa http://www.wholisticpeds.com/
alot of families love him. He was very nice when we went but too expensive to keep up with.
Make sure that you take his file...or better yet see if you can mail it to him to read before hand Does anyone know of a good Dr. or clinic that specilizes in autism in Florida. We are in central Fl but will travel anywhere in state or even Ga. We've been to many Drs. in 10 years for my son (even to Duke and UofF) and tried numerous medications and treatments but behaviors are still , for the most part unchanged. We are reaching a point of desperation. I'm afraid if we don't get his behaviors under control (he's 15) he won't be able to stay with us much longer.Hi Tom208
You could try The Dan Marino Center. They actually have two centers, one at Miami Children's Hopsital and the other in West Broward (east of Ft. Lauderdale). I was recommended to go there but they would not accept my insurance and I could not afford to pay privately for an evaluation and therapy.
Here's the link:
