Hi,

I came to know that getting an evaluation by good psychiatrist is a key for correct diagnosis. Flocks from Boston can you give recommendations for a Psychiatrist.

Couple of suggestions... ask friends n family or even ur school psychiatrist for referralsand there experience to GOOD.. Qualified docs. If u can be in the room during testing.. do it!

We had a horrific experience with a well known psychiatrist who specialized in childrens issues and practicing 30 years. Boy was that the farthest from the truth. The doc we saw ( I WAS in the room) talked my son into admitting that he had numerous prior head injuries. Then he brought in a generic bottle of VIT C tabs handed us 5 and told me to give him 5 4x day.. and it would cure his " prior head injuries" and his ADD/ADHD. I was so shocked n mad.. I immediately went and told my pediatrition after this appt, my insurance company and etc.This doc even said he had the cure for head injuries n it came to him in a dream from GOD. YEP !!! He has 5 * reviews and well known.

Be very careful... there r phonies out there!!!!
