Hello sisses, my daughter is 3 year old and sobrang hyper nya at our pedia recommended na magpa check up si baby sa developmental pedia. were trying to get an appointment from dra. Moral of asian hospital and dra. De castro ng perpetual hospital binan but unfortunately pinakmalapit na schedule is by nov. Na. Our pedia recommended na I should be in the Philippines during the assessment kaya sana yung first week of October ang pwede sa vacation ko. Any recommended dr. In south area? Kahit sa makati medical ok lang basta meron schedule ng October.  Thanks sisses.

Hi mommies,

May nagpa-assess na ba sa inyo kay Dr. Francis Dimalanta lately? Nagback read ako, I've heard he is good but then I read a couple of negative reviews about him. We have an appointment on Thursday and I'm thinking if it is still worth the 5K I will be paying.

^Dr. Jack Herrin is our developmental pedia and he is good naman and I like how he handles my twins.

hi sis cherrhys. may i know how much ang developmental screening sa kanya? matagal din ba magpa-sked?

[cherrhys]

^Sa Cardinal Santos clinic niya kami nagpupunta. No waiting time just set an appointment lang. Around P3,500 initial assessment, di ko lang alam if nagtaas na siya kasi last year pa yung last visit namin.

[mommy gwen]

salamat sis cherrhys.

Hi,

Just wanted to share our experience with assessmenet with Dra Reloza.
Our appoinment  was  scheduled 215 PM we were already there at around  1: 30 PM  and as soon as  easrly as 2:00 PM they  let us in the office.The office is clean and organized.Before  2:15 PM the assessment started I filled out a form while my husband  and my child started with the assessment.Dra Reloza is very accomodating and I would say engaging...She started showing wooden blocks  to my child  and instructed him to do something about it  at first  my child would'nt follow then she asked my husband to instruct him maybe he would follow him ...that worked  and the interaction  was great my child was cooperating to my surprise.According to her  my Boy  just need prompting to do   the work.
She asked him to identify colors, sort shapes  and my child was truly cooperative  .
The experience was great it made me worry less about my child , he is normal child  who needs opportunity for socialization, less exposure to tv ,needs more imaginative play.
She  advise him to continue with regular school and have occupational therapy twice a week to improve his work behavior.Once behavior  improve it will  be 1 OT and 1 Speech Therapy a week.
Dra Reloza  is very accomodating and she address all our questions and  explained everything  that we  need to know.
She referred us to HELP Therapy Center  for the OT /ST.
I am glad I have my child assessed, it made me worry free and educated me on what needs to be done to  help my child improve/modify his behavior  so he could achieve his potentials.

Thanks for sharing sis. Would you mind to share what are the questions we need to prepare to maximize her assessment to my daughter.   

[Tekkisand]

WE only asked the questions that pooped on our mind.
1.We verified   how to choose the right therapist  and facility for  our child and she gladly sighted pointers and things to consider.
2. The methods and guidelines that we need to consider at home to help our child.
3.The correlation of TV/screen time with a child's behavior.
4.How can   we  better  handle certain situation/s like tantrums and the like.
5.Based on her observation what are the contributing factors to my child's behavior and condition and how they should be addressed.
6.The program and recommendation to improve my child's behavior which she later on indicated naman on the Copy of the result she provided.

Hope this will help.

[smm_0411]

Thanks a lot sis. Really appreciate it. Hope everything will be fine for my daughter.

Hello mga sis, recommendation naman sa Devped, we live at Binan, Laguna and I think I would like another devped for my son. His previous devped was dra. sumagi de castro. She is ok naman pero di ko nakukuha yung tamang explanation na hinahanap ko sa kanya. My son is 3 years old when I noticed na parang kakaiba sya compare sa ibang bata. Help pls mga sis.. How about Dr. Lazaro any feedback?

[smm_0411]

Sis, pareho tayo taga binan. Actually may schedule na kami kay dra. Reloza sa Makati med on oct. 6 but unfortunately it was declared holiday. Eh 3 weeks lang vacation ko at ang hirap makakuha ng schedule.
