Need a New Pedi That Knows About ADHD

My suggestion would be Terry Kendrick with Pediatric Associates. They're in the Pediatric Pavillion at Willis-Knighton Pierremont. He is a good doctor and a good person. We chose him before our son was born mostly because we were impressed with the work he does with Shriner's. My son has Asperger Syndrome and we've had nothing but cooperation and good advice from him.

I don't know how hey are about ADHD specifically but I know that I was very happy with my experiences at Midcity pediatrics. We used Dr. Cush John (changed for insurance reasons...I cried) and she was very understanding about issues that we had. As a teacher I can assure you that ADHD is real and not just a cop out. Not all active kids are ADHD and sometimes it really is a matter of parents not knowing how or not wanting to control their child. However, for kids who truly have ADHD they genuinely cannot control themselves and it is agonizing not only for the parent but for the child. It is imparative that children with true ADHD get proffesional help either with medicine, therapy or both and it is important that the pediatrician be supportive. I commend you on standing up for your son and I hope that you do find a dr that can and will help you because there sertainly is help out there.

But a Ped. can not really diagnose adhd, it needs to be a mental health prof.

Ive dealt with this for 17 years.
