Diagnostic/Research
Many children with genetic and metabolic based disorders have not
been accurately diagnosed. Early diagnoses are critical to
effective care and follow up. Our clinic provides prenatal and
newborn screening. We attempt to identify and research any rare disorder. History
has shown that careful research and diagnostics can unveil
treatments that actually prevent symptoms from occurring or
progressing.
Treatment and Prevention
Early intervention not only focuses on addressing symptoms but on
preventive treatments as well. Too often special needs children
are not receiving coordinated care. The information families
receive from specialists is fragmented and inadequate. Our staff
will combine all patient data from every specialist. Developing a
highly effective treatment protocol for each individual patient
will remain our top priority.
Education
Education will include outreach to families providing: an
understanding of the importance of testing newborn children,
consistent medical treatment of children, dietary requirements,
etc. The successful research and treatments will be shared among
medical professionals and researchers to further benefit children
everywhere.
