Seeking Pediatrician Specializing in Developmental Delays

I live in clearwater, but am willing to travel for the right dr.
I would love to find any doctor that specializes in delays such as autism who will order blood tests, and any other tests that can rule out medical disorders. I have been trying to get my son diagnosed for 2 years now and there has never been a single test done other than the normal evaluations. The only doctor that I know of is Dr. Berger in Tampa and he doesn't take insurance. Any information would be greatly appreciated

What can I do next?

Dr David Berg in Carrollwood (Tampa) is perfect for you! My grandkids go to him. His is an MD who specializes in working with autistic kids and also has a holistic aspect /side to his practice.

See if you can meet Dr. Eric Q. Tridas in Tampa - he's a developmental specialist associated with St. Joe's (maybe called St. Joe's Child Development Center?). Very, very nice, very knowledgeable.

Try the Tridas center in Tampa. It's off of armenia you can look it up on the web. I have an apt with my son for him at the end of July and he comes highly recommended by several friends who have children with DD and Autism spectrum disorders. They do a thorough examination and dx your child for you. Hope this helps.. :)
