I wanted to see if anyone has gone for treatment at Rothman/USF recently. I've heard good things about Rogers in Tampa for IOP, but I'm not sure where to stay there for that long, or if we could afford it. If anyone has had recent experience with Rothman could you let me know your experience good or bad? Or any other IOP. We're looking for an IOP for summer. Thanks so much.

I'm searching for a Integrative Psychiatrist that may be able to interpret a recent Organic Acids Test. I'm doing a lot of research on my own, but I'm still not clear on why my son would have high HVA and high VMA, and high HVA/VMA ratio. He also has high Orotic (ammonia excess), very high yeast markers. Does anyone know someone that may work with us via skype or telephone? Thanks a lot.

I haven't reserved a spot yet. I'm taking a few days to talk to family and my husband. But I think I'm going to have to take a leap of faith also. I wonder if meeting other kids in the same situation will help him and motivate him. Thank you for your response. Good luck this summer at Rothman!

I'm considering taking my son to USF this summer. Dr. Storch told me that they have the most success with kids who have at least some motivation. I don't think my son has that, unfortunately. Is there anyone who has been there in this situation? I'm afraid it's going to be such a struggle everyday to get him to go and to do his homework. Can the volunteers at the Ronald McDonald House help? I'm not sure I can do this going there with just my son and I'm not sure my husband can go with us.
