Hi Jessica. Welcome. I have a 15 year old on the Spectrum. I use Lynette Jattan with Conyers Pediatrics. I have been with her since Camron was a baby. The neurologist we use is Dr. Sandra Helmers in Atlanta. She is a little drive, 30 minutes., but s he is very good . We have a great group and we do meet the third Thursday of the month but we taking a break June and July from our meetings. We will resume them in August. We do try to have activities through the summer for the kids. Just check here for any upcoming events. Let me know if I can assist you with anything.

Dr. Aaron Goldberg with Pediatric Health Center in Conyers. He currently only works 1 day week in Conyers location, but is worth it. He spends time- was recommended to me by another mom with child on spectrum . My youngest saw Dr. John Sladky as a bab y/toddler at Emory's Children Center for Epilepsy. My 14 year old just sees a local Psychiatrist after he was dx at age 4 at Marcus Autism Center for the to sad his EEG was okay. He has facial, and body tics - used to have vocal as well. I cannot say enough about local psychiatrist- she truly includes families in making decisions. Same with Local Pedi I mentioned!

Jessica Ann Got your email and will add you to our mailing list. Ascend is right behind Scottish Rite in the Meridian Mark Building. We see Dr. Raymond Cheng there. Our pediatrician is Dr. Kimberly Carr at Childrens Medical Central on Eastview Pkwy here in Conyers (going towards the DMV).
