Judith Aronson-Ramos, M.D., is a Board Certified Developmental and Behavioral Pediatrician  whose practice is devoted exclusively to the evaluation and treatment of pediatric patients (birth - 21yrs) with challenges in learning, behavior, development, and social-emotional functioning. Having practiced Pediatrics for over 18 years in many different settings, she is aware of the need to accurately identify children and adolescents who are experiencing problems and provide them with individualized and comprehensive care.

Our diagnostic evaluations utilize office based assessments, interviews, review of records, and when appropriate observations at school. If a definitive diagnosis is not evident, we focus on addressing the specific areas of need. If an individual has recently completed a comprehensive evaluation, we will focus on maintaining effective treatment, follow up care, and when indicated re-evaluation. You will always leave our office with a treatment plan with recommendations for therapies, schools, and interventions deemed appropriate for each family's unique needs. If we don't have the answer to your specific question regarding a local resource, we will work with you to find the information you need.

If medication is indicated it will be prescribed as part of a comprehensive plan. We emphasize comprehensive as medications alone are rarely effective in leading to a successful outcome. Medications may or may not be part of an intervention plan. We will also discuss nutrition, supplements, and treatment alternatives on an individual basis. We encourage consistent follow up to monitor progress and enable families to maintain the best possible results.

For young adults our assessment and treatment facilitate the transition to self-reliance. Our approach will be tailored to the unique needs of the individual with a commitment to privacy and respect for independence.
