doctor visit

We went to NJ to visit the PA at Dr.N's office, our first Dan! visit. It was strange. It is about 6 hours from our house and with two kids and two jobs it was hard to organise and travel by car. Well, we made it.

Friday, our plan was to leave by 7.30 pm so that we would have been in NJ by 2.00 am.I even booked tickets to a hotel but about half way through S started screaming and we had to take the nearest exit to check in to holiday inn in a small place called Gibson PA.
We slept well and woke up refreshed and started on ward on our journey to meet the PA at Dr.N's office.

The office itself was in a pink building and it was dirty and small . The play room where we needed to leave big sister D was in a sorry state with none of the toys working,books torn.
The bathroom was extremely dirty.

Now, I dont know about other dans. but when you call for a new pt appt with Dr.N,the first thing they do , is take your credit card info so that they dont lose if you no show for the appt.Fair enough.
Then they give you a password and you are supposed to log in to their website using this, download some forms and get them with you for the first appt.
The paper work per the office takes at least ten hours... yes, you heard right, TEN hours.
Well of course I did it meticulously, the questions were tooo detailed, too nonsense...

when we walked in and handed in the papers, he told us that he will reveiw them later and that he will start So mB12.. WHAT?
opened his file cabinet and showed us the needle ...and showed us how to do ti.
NO other reccomendations .. he asked us ifwehad any questions.
My husband had few , he is innocent,his question was,...why do kids get this- autism.
Naive..right?
the answer... there are many causes... why dont I show you how to give the shot?

He was in a rush to leave I guess..
we were not satisfied.

Anyway, we did not go there to socialise but to get the b12shots and now we have a plan.
We will report back to them by phone in six weeks.

The funniest part is the physical exam that he did.....whom was he trying to fool?
What does a DAn doctor get by examing the lungs, ears, heart....

The whole thing about the zillion paperwork tob e done is all hype, and so is the physical exam part.

I only hope the mb12 helps.

  2. Hmmm...very disappointing about Dr. N. It took five weeks for us to notice a difference in Drew after starting the MB 12 shots. Then, they really seemed to be working. He had a regression later due to something else so I'm not sure how well they're working now. I have a post on my blog about MB-12, please feel free to read it.
