| - First of all I would like to set the record straight on Dr. Radoff. I can only speak of his services out of Las Vegas, as this is the only place we have seen him. (I believe he sees patients out of California, and I know he comes to visit patients in Las Vegas at least once a month, and has his main office in Arizona)
My son sees Dr. Radoff to help eliminate/reduce the many different symptoms that autism can have on people. Our goal is to get our son completely off the spectrum.
This next sentence is probably the most important part of this review... Dr. Radoff makes it very clear that not everyone he treats for autism spectrum disorder are able to recover or even get much better. These kids/people are referred to as non-responders. (Luckily our boy is what is referred to as a responder)
Dr. Radoff takes a bio medical approach to trying to solve the different symptoms kids on the spectrum might have. More specific, he takes the time to listen to what is going on with your child. Then uses his vast knowledge to run certain tests to help him learn more. He is very upfront about costs of different tests, and will not waste your money with tests that aren't necessary. Once the results come in, he is going over them with you, answering any questions, and then he will go over different possible treatments. He will give the patient/parents the choice of going with a homeopathic treatment or a more conventional medicine treatment.
Dr. Radoff is an MD (he can prescribe normal pharmaceuticals) and a DHM (Doctor of Homeopathic Medicine). Dr. Radoff really believes in helping these kids get off of the spectrum in the safest methods. He will for the most part go with the safest method of treatment (unless an aggressive approach is needed), whether that means trying homeopathic before moving on to more invasive types of pharmaceuticals if said homeopathic treatment isn't showing the results we are looking for. Or it might mean starting with low doses, monitoring, and working the dosage slowly up to the recommended dose of any given medicine or supplement.
The benefits our son has received from Dr. Radoff are nothing short of amazing! Before our son first saw Dr. Radoff he had lost all his words. His eye contact had fallen to almost nonexistent. Our son would have close to 10 meltdowns a day, with each one lasting at least 20 min, or longer. He would hardly respond to his name. He would obsessively line up toys and objects most off the day.
It hasn't even been a year since we first saw Dr. Radoff (it's been about 10 months). Our son has gained all his previous lost words, plus about 100 more. Our son has great eye contact now, and his meltdowns have almost completely went away. If he does have a meltdown it's never more then 5 min. These are very rare now. He responds to his name when called. And he stopped lining everything in a row. Our son is not trapped in "another world" he is now present and learning. I also think it's worth mentioning that our son is yet to have had any kind of ABA therapy, which anyone who has a child that is on the autistic spectrum knows that is "the only known treatment to be clinically proven" to help our children. Well we are proof that there is more then just that alone.
In a world where it seems every doctor out there just seems to want to prescribe antibiotics and send you away, Dr. Radoff is a breath of fresh air. I'm not quite sure what happened with a couple of the reviews for Dr.Radoff, but I would (and have) completely recommend any parent with a child on the autism spectrum to Dr. Radoff.
