*(I do not diagnose autism, this should be done through Child Study Center or through an appropriate autism diagnostician. However, I will see your child even if no formal autism diagnosis has been given.)
**(I do not order, refill, or discontinue any pharmaceutical medications for ADHD. This must be done by the provider that prescribed it initially - I use a biomedical approach.)
Follow Up for Comprehensive Patients
This is individualized care and takes time to find what works (or doesn’t) for your child.
The expectation is minimum of 5-6 follow up visits in the year to monitor progress, review lab work, specialty tests, modify plans and evaluate next steps in the healing process. After the first year, we will monitor at least twice annually and as needed. Some children will need more frequent visits, some less, no two children are alike in their responses to therapies. This is individualized care and takes time to find what works (or doesn’t) for your child. Follow up visits can typically be in person or telemedicine, whichever you prefer.
Why we started Praxis Integrative Pediatrics.
Brenda noticed a concerning rise in pediatric chronic issues like Autism, ADHD, Asthma, Allergies, Frequent illnesses, Gut issues, and Headaches - conditions that weren’t prevalent during her childhood.
Seeking answers for her patients, she attended conferences and pursued education in alternative therapies within integrative and functional medicine. Brenda discovered that integrative medicine focuses on identifying the root causes of health issues and promoting long-term wellness rather than temporary quick fixes. After personally benefiting from a specialized test and botanical treatment that avoided surgery, her commitment to this approach deepened. Brenda recently completed advanced training in Pediatric Special Needs through the Medical Academy of Pediatric Special Needs (MAPS). She earned the recognition of Fellow (FMAPS), thus equipping her to help others identify underlying causes of symptoms and reclaim their health.
