Autism and ADHD evaluations at home, without the waitlist.
Dr. Spandana Nallapati is a board-certified developmental-behavioral pediatrician. She sees children from 18 months to 22 years by video, in New York, New Jersey and Pennsylvania.
Most parents call after hearing one of these.
"The waitlist is eight months."
Not here. You book the first visit online.
"The school says wait and see."
You leave with a written report. Take it to the school, bring it to the IEP meeting. Dr. Nallapati can join that meeting if you want her there.
"My child can't handle a clinic visit."
The evaluation happens at home, over video. Dr. Nallapati sees your child where they're comfortable, which is also where she learns the most.
One doctor, from the first question to the years after.
Most online evaluations are done by psychologists. A psychologist can diagnose, but can't prescribe or manage your child's medical care, so you end up looking for a second provider. Dr. Nallapati is a physician. She does the evaluation, prescribes when it's needed, and keeps seeing your child as they grow.

What families say.
Dr. Spandana is wonderful! She is patient, empathetic and thorough. She was the missing piece in my disabled son's health care team. Her contributions are already providing significant results.
After thoroughly reviewing my son's case and performing a detailed observation, she identified additional items for me to take note of for his upcoming IEP that wasn't even on my radar. … I can't thank her enough for getting my son through a critical time in his development.
She is dedicated to understanding each child's unique needs and committed to creating personalized treatment plans, rather than the one size fits all that some practitioners apply.
