lovin3boyz Posted April 29, 2009 Report Share Posted April 29, 2009 Hi all. I am new to this...we think our son has PANDAS and we would like to find a doctor who is experienced in treating this. Has anyone dealt with CHOP, Dupont, St. Christopher's?? We need to find some answers!! Thank you so much! -Suzanne Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
momtotaylor Posted April 30, 2009 Report Share Posted April 30, 2009 Hi Suzanne, We have dealt with CHOP neurology. For us, it was not helpful at all. PM me if you are interested and I will fill you in on the details. There is a woman Dr. Josephine Elia who apparently is the PANDAS expert at CHOP. We did not know about her until the NBC 10 News special that was aired earlier this month. She is not taking appointments until July. Also, she doesn't accept many insurances. Without insurance a visit is a little bit pricey. We haven't seen her yet. We did receive the paperwork to fill out. I am not sure where you are located, but if you are in the Philly area, there is an absolutely wonderful psychologist if you are interested. Her name is Dr. Tamar Chansky. She has been very helpful to us. Hang in there! Jen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Worried_Dad Posted April 30, 2009 Report Share Posted April 30, 2009 Hi, Jen: Is this the same Dr. T. Chansky who wrote "Freeing Your Child from OCD" (and others)? Just read that book, and it was awesome! If you have her in your town, that's a wonderful option, for sure. I'm jealous!!! Hi Suzanne, We have dealt with CHOP neurology.

momtotaylor Posted April 30, 2009 Report Share Posted April 30, 2009 Yes, it is the same doctor. She is wonderful. She understands our kids so well. She is a special person that has the ability to think outside the box. I have a hard time thinking the way that she does. We are definitely lucky. Hi, Jen: Is this the same Dr. T.
