Bruce A Eckel, MD

I took my son in due to his vomitting. She immediately started to question me as to why I am not "treating" my sons ADD. I tried to explain to her that his regular pediatrician, his school counselor, psychologist, teacher and myself have been working together and developed a succesful plan for him. None of us feel that medication is necessary AT THIS TIME. He only struggles in math and does not have any behavior problems. She preceeded to tell me that "that will not work." She then, in front of my 8 year old son, said "other kids are going to make fun of him." "He will become depressed. You are harming him." She has no right to undermine her colleague, other professionals and myself in this matter which she has no information. I have fought for my son and helped him be successful and happy to this point. There may come a day for medication and that is okay too but just because he is not on medication does not mean his ADD is "untreated." I felt attacked as she questioned me as a mother in front of my son. I will never see her again and would not recommend her to anyone I know. As for the vomitting she concluded it was probably acid reflux even though the only sympton he has is vomitting. I have no confidence in Dr. Janke and next time, will wait to see our regular doctor whom I trust and believe in 100%.
