While employing a
treatment philosophy similar to that of his adult clientele, Dr. Mike
incorporates an additional level of sensitivity when dealing with younger
clients. An initial comprehensive consultation involving medical, neurological
and psychological components ensures that each client is treated as a
unique individual from the start.
Since young children are generally unable to articulate what is bothering
them, Dr. Mike evaluates them using methods they can understand, such
as board games, role-playing and drawing. And being sensitive to parental
concerns, Dr. Mike always consults with them prior to engaging a child
in a mutually agreeable course of treatment.
Parents are generally gratified to learn that when developing a course
of treatment for younger patients, Dr. Mike often works in collaboration
with other professionals, including Pediatricians, Pediatric Neurologists,
Pediatric Cardiologists, Child Psychologists, Occupational Therapists,
Audiologists and Speech Pathologists.
Older kids often
just need an unbiased confidant to help them through difficult times,
someone to help them make responsible decisions that are right for them.
In such cases, Dr. Mike offers a sympathetic ear and a caring heart to
help guide them toward a happy and productive adulthood.
