Problem children

Certain problems in children, such as behavioral problems, sleep disorders, developmental delays, learning disorders, attention deficits, hyperactivity problems, and bed wetting, are difficult to treat.

Research worldwide is continually improving our ability to diagnose, treat, and manage these types of problems. New approaches and studies are published each year. Often, the latest research makes its way into healthcare late, while patients continue to be treated in conventional ways, and according to insurance company rules. The customary system of healthcare and patient interaction with care providers does not encourage enough time, or depth of investigation, or individualized planning & care that some of these problems need. If the patients would receive this degree of attention and quality of care, treatments would be more effective and give results in a shorter time.

Doctor Horvath's problem children consultations rely on the principle that a better quality can be achieved through individualized planning and care, and the use of new medical information. Proper follow-ups of these problems are very important. In order to arrive at an optimal treatment plan, it may be necessary to involve other healthcare specialists in consultation. Most of these evaluations may require laboratory tests, which are likely to be covered by your insurance provider. Others like speech evaluation or psychological evaluation may involve private payment to the appropriate specialist.
