Our Immunologist in San Antonio

Hi,

I would love to get this doctor's name and number. We live in Austin and have been struggling with Pandas since last September. Recently my daughter had T&A surgery but it didn't seem to help. We've had trouble finding a doctor that treats PANDAS. Thanks.

This wasn't posted to me but I'd like to add my two cents worth. Dr. B figured out my daughter has allergies that make her sinuses a great place for infection to grow. He diagnosed her with a sinus infection on our first visit despite 6 months of doubled up antibiotics. It wasn't until we used his protocal that the infection abated. (allergy meds, sinus rinses and sprays, combined with the antibiotics)

 

He did a vast amount of testing and figured out she has no antibodies to fight strep and he got our insurance to cover IVIG (1.5g/kg), which was badly needed. After the first IVIG she improved at least 70%. After the second one she got another sinus infection and backslid a bit but we quickly figured out what the problem was and treated it aggressively and she's back on the rebound and things are moving in the right direction again. Now if we can just prevent her from getting another one, we'll be doing well. She is scheduled for another IVIG in mid-Oct. and I feel confident that it is a good choice for her under the circumstances.

Momaine,

Hi, I’m new to PANDAS and my son was diagnosed in January this year. We see Dr. Rao in Plano. Can you tell me who Dr. B is? I noticed you posted about this doc finding a sinus infection in your child that no one else could find. We’ve been on 5 months of antibiotics but we are not seeing the improvement. It gets better, but the ocd has gotten worse lately. The disease is so heartbreaking 💔
