| - I am writing this review because I am so thankful for Dr Radoff and the staff at Alternative Medical. Dr Radoff initially began treating our teenage son in 2012, and now provides healthcare for our entire family. I consider myself fairly educated on biomedical and/or alternative medical treatments and with the endless intricacies of treating Autism/ADHD/Asthma/Allergies and so on. There are more modalities available than one can count. To top that off, each and every individual will need a unique set of tools to treat their particular condition. There is no "one size fits all" cure for any these conditions. I completely understand how costly it can be to pay out of pocket while trying one after another until something works. But I can say that with the help and guidance from Dr Radoff we were able to rationally pick and choose our treatments, and thereby saving an incredible amount of time, money and most of all LIFE. Dr Radoff is able to utilize his expertise and experience, the expertise of his impressive network of colleagues, all while remaining open and understanding the importance of parental intuition. With intensive therapies over the prior 2-3 years our teen has changed from severely low functioning autistic (physically, emotionally, mentally low functioning), to a well adjusted young man. His path has changed from needing 24 hour supervision and no real opportunities for an independent life, to being reenrolled in high school, having his first intern job, and will possibly drive and live independently someday. It is a long and difficult journey with no promises for the outcome. But without a doubt worth every second and every dollar, in my opinion. We had consulted with numerous other doctors and been so incredibly disappointed with their lack of knowledge, lack of any desire to obtain knowledge, and overall pessimistic attitude toward the possibilities. Most disappointing were doctors from within the medical insurance community. It is not cost effective for them to treat these children. We knew there was so much that could be done, but needed a medical professional to help guide us through the healing. We are forever indebted to Dr Radoff. Our son has his life back, with more and more potential everyday.
The best words of advise I can offer are, stay open minded, educate yourself, then continue to educate yourself, look for the little improvements because they add up over time, trust your parental intuition and NEVER GIVE UP. Great book to read for parents of Autistics is "Healing the New Childhood Epidemics: Autism, ADHD, Asthma, and Allergies: The Groundbreaking Program for the 4-A Disorders".
