Evaluations

We can also assess for the specific diagnoses below. Since these require more time and effort, it is best to speak with your pediatrician first to get general screening before definitely going forward with a full evaluation. If you have already done so and would like another opinion, you can start by requesting a consult with Dr. Lim first.

Please note that medication management is not included in these evaluations. Dr. Lim will provide recommendations for your primary care provider after the evaluation.

    • ADHD evaluations can be completed with a 1h consultation.

    • Comprehensive review of past evaluations by other providers, past medical history, any school accommodations, current concerns, and completed questionnaires by caregivers and teachers. All paperwork must be submitted for review prior to your assessment.

    • We will discuss any possible diagnosis, resources available, and review healthy active living habits.

    • Recommendations will be provided in a final report for your family and your primary care provider, including any need for medication therapy, therapies and referrals, or lab testing. Dr. Lim can also provide letters to schools as needed.

    • Autism evaluations are typically completed over 2-3 visits.

    • Comprehensive review of developmental history, any past evaluations, any school accommodation plans, and current concerns. This will include your child’s medical record. All paperwork must be submitted for review prior to your visit.

    • 1h observation of your child playing and interacting with you. This can be via telemedicine or in person - Dr. Lim will guide you based on your preference and your child’s needs.

    • Follow up diagnostic discussion with a final report and recommendations for your family and your primary care provider. This may include further lab testing or other referrals. ABA referral will be provided if necessary.

Together, we can discover a road to thriving that meets your family’s needs.
