Frequently Asked Questions — Dr. Glick Binyamin Answers
1. Can we schedule a consultation even if nobody has been able to tell us exactly what is going on?
Yes.
To be honest, that is often the reason families come in.
Sometimes parents arrive with a folder full of reports. Sometimes they arrive with nothing except a concern that has been bothering them for months.
I do not expect families to know what the diagnosis is. If they knew that already, they probably would not need to see me. My job is to help make sense of what they are seeing and decide whether there is actually something that needs further attention.
2. What should we bring to the first appointment?
Parents often ask this before they even schedule the visit.
My answer is simple: bring whatever you already have.
If there are medical reports, school notes, therapy summaries, previous evaluations, or test results, I would like to see them. If some documents are missing, that is usually not a problem.
I have had consultations where a parent mentioned something in passing during our conversation that turned out to be more helpful than ten pages of reports.
3. How does a neurological or developmental evaluation usually work?
Every family expects something slightly different.
Some parents think their child will go through a long series of tests. Others expect that I will know the answer within five minutes.
Most consultations fall somewhere in between.
I spend a lot of time listening before I start drawing conclusions. The details parents notice at home are often just as important as anything I see during the examination itself.
Only after putting all of those pieces together does the picture start to make sense.
4. A teacher mentioned autism. Does that mean our child needs a full autism assessment right away?
Not necessarily.
I have seen children referred because of one specific concern, and after a proper evaluation the explanation turned out to be something completely different.
That is why I try not to jump ahead. A child is much more than a checklist or a label.
Before talking about diagnoses, I want to understand the child, the family, and the reason the concern appeared in the first place.
5. What types of questionnaires are usually used before an evaluation?
Parents are sometimes surprised by how many questions we ask before the appointment.
The reason is actually quite practical. A child may behave one way in the clinic, another way at home, and completely differently at school.
Questionnaires help us understand those different environments.
They are useful, but I never treat them as the final answer. They are simply one source of information among many others.
6. Will we need to see several specialists?
Maybe. Maybe not.
I know that is not the most satisfying answer, but it is the honest one.
There are situations where a single consultation provides enough information to move forward. There are other situations where another professional may add an important piece to the puzzle.
I usually know much more about that after meeting the child than before.
7. We already completed an evaluation elsewhere. Is there any point in getting another opinion?
Parents ask me this more often than people think.
My answer is simple: if you still have unanswered questions, there is nothing wrong with asking them.
Sometimes a second opinion changes nothing at all. Sometimes it helps a family understand the situation more clearly. And occasionally it leads to a different recommendation.
Either way, parents should never feel uncomfortable about wanting another set of eyes on something important.
8. What about insurance reimbursement for a private consultation?
This is usually one of the first questions families ask our team.
I wish there were a simple answer, but insurance policies are rarely simple.
Some families receive reimbursement. Others receive only partial reimbursement. It depends entirely on the policy and the level of coverage.
For that reason, I always suggest checking directly with the insurance provider before the appointment rather than making assumptions.
9. When should parents see a pediatric neurologist instead of waiting?
There is no perfect moment.
Some families call after worrying for a few weeks. Others tell me they have been thinking about the same concern for more than a year.
What I usually tell parents is this: if the question keeps coming back, it is probably worth discussing.
That does not automatically mean something serious is happening. Sometimes the consultation brings reassurance. Sometimes it identifies a problem that deserves attention. Both outcomes can be valuable.
10. We already received an autism or developmental assessment. Why would we seek another consultation?
There are different reasons.
Some parents want somebody to explain the findings in plain language. Others understand the diagnosis but are unsure about the recommendations. And sometimes families simply need reassurance that they are heading in the right direction.
Those conversations are often less about the diagnosis itself and more about helping parents feel confident about the next step.
11. What happens after the consultation?
Many parents expect that the appointment is the end of the process.
Quite often it is actually the beginning.
Sometimes my recommendation is simply to follow the child over time. In other situations I may suggest additional testing, therapy, or consultation with another specialist.
What I try to avoid is sending families home with more confusion than they had when they arrived. By the end of the visit, parents should have a clearer understanding of where things stand and what options they have moving forward.
