PANDAS MD in NY, NJ, CT

[Sharonkfarber]

I am new to this website, having stumbled upon it yesterday. My interest in PANDAS is both personal and professional. My 5 year old grandson has it, is being treated, and is doing well.

 

I am a psychotherapist and specialize in child/adolescent treatment.Shortly after my grandson began treatment, an 11 year old girl was referred to me with sudden onset OCD and a coughing tic.I see her for psychotherapy and she is doing well too.

 

My daughter-in-law plan to start a parent support group in our area. in southern Westchester, NY. I would like to know of other physicians with expertise in PANDAS in the NYC tri-state area (NY, NJ, CT)), and if you have had any dealings with them yourself, and what you thought. Thanks so much. This website is invaluable.

Here is the forum list for helpful doctors- many are in the area you requested, most notably Dr.s Bouboulis (I probably spelled that wrong) and Triffiletti. The list gives contact information as well. I think it is an excellent idea to bring interested, supportive doctors together!

It may be too late to change your plans, but the OCD conference in DC this weekend is having PANDAS speakers:
