All we know is that we checked it all out..lots of people, and all the qualifications through the state boards. We were just tired of untrained or unlicensed people, so we really did our homework after tons of wasted $$$… We did not go to Dr Gindin as he is a school psychologist/clinical psych person . We hear he is great with language, but he is not board certified in kid neuropsych like Dr Federici and a few others we talked to in CA and CO.
We checked Dr Federici out real good before going, and he even sent us all his Vita, licenses and advanced training. Then we asked the Virginia Board, and they told us he was one of the best qualified in his field and the state, as they had to check him out before giving him a license. We found out later that some of our other providers were not even licensed! With Dr Federici being a more medical person as neuropsych, we got lots more back from the insurance for his fees. And he worked with us on money issues ( we still are broke), where everyone lese charged tons for evals like 2500 and 3000 and even more! Hope this helps..real important to find people with good PI training in stuff, as we started off with ADHD and found out it was lots more… Cindi, Mom of 2
You have to check these people out. There are impostors out there. From what we see, Dr. Federici is one of the good ones!
