I am interested to know if there are any physicians at CCF that are well versed with Fetal Alcohol Syndrome? If so ... could you please let me know. We are in the process of adopting three siblings all with a Dx of FAS. Presently they have been seen by a Pediatric Neurologist for a series of testing as well as a Dr. in Genetics that has given us the Dx.
Thanks in advance for all of your help!

Dear Tammy,
I'm not sure how to be helpful. What is CCF? I am answering these inquiries from Harvard Vanguard Medical Associates, a muti-specialty group practice in Boston. Depending on your location, there may well be specialists you can turn to, and some familiarity with Fetal Alcohol Syndrome can reasonably be expected from pediatricians in general.

I'm sorry... CCF is Cleveland Clinic Foundation... can you be of any help with this? Also your recommendation about a Pediatrician being of help... well I can tell you that Pediatricians in our area are not willing to give this Dx. and therefore that is whyI have gone to Buffalo and New York City. Behavior Management is a large part of this and that is why I was wondering about a Dr. able to give us some direction... Thanks once again!
