[QUOTE="house of cards, post: 207833, member: 2005"] I have to admit, I was disappointed. First thing I was told was that testing would run from 9 am til 3 pm...on the short end from what I have heard but good. But a good part was that they scheduled both of my 8 yos for the same time, we had 2 different docs. Dr B takes L, says we will break for lunch around 12 and off they go. Dr M takes S, doesn't read parent report, brings him out at 11:30 and says we are done, we go back to his office and talk a bit and he sees "distractability". I mention the 30 pt difference in verbal/performance done in 2005, I mention mood disorders in the bio family, he concedes different things can look like ADHD. He seemed lazy and wanting to just see ADHD...which was really my S showing his anxiety at the testing. UGH We return to waiting area and Dr B comes out quite surprised that he is done...Dr M then does 1 more fifteen minute computer test and it is over. Dr B takes the time and interest to go over how things have gone, takes notes on my added imput, and does 1 test that the school did which was unbelievable...had L scoring at a 17 yo level, on his test she still did very well but a more believable 12 yo level. He sees her anxiety. Dr B shortened his schedule to blend with Dr M but yet I do still feel he saw and evaluated my girl well. Still we were all done within 3 1/2 hours tops. I have to say I do think I will get reports that can help with the school, but 1) what a difference a different doctor can make 2) I think I could have gotten the same value with psychiatric/educational testing much closer to home. I'll have to wait til I have the reports but I wasn't impressed. and yes this was done at a well respected childrens hospital in northern NJ [/QUOTE]
