Quick update on the situation. I called the doctor to express my reservations regarding the short case-taking and limited instructions. Didn't get into fees or billing at all. He refused to answer any questions over the phone and wanted a follow-up session. When that left me surprised he suggested I...

Just want to thank everyone for their efforts. I also want to note that around here $160 is probably a fair price for a consultation and remedy. The other guy I was thinking to go to charges $250 for a first consultation. But he did say that consultation would take over an hour, which this certainly...

Very kind of you, thank you.

This is a great forum, you've all been very helpful!

First off, Shannon makes a lot of great points, but if you guys like to try to crack the nut of a case I'd like to pursue this further. The reason being that from some of these descriptions I can tell how difficult it will be to explain my son's disposition to a practitioner, and I think the practic...
