Scheduling

There are several methods to arrange for referral to Stuart Developmental Pediatrics:

1. The primary care provider can place a referral.
2. Other clinicians working with the child can place a referral.
3. The family can call directly to arrange an appointment.

The best means to contact this office to arrange the referral includes:
Calling at 512.680.9295
Fax at 1.844. 267.0438
Email at StuartDevoPeds@gmail.com

Each referral will be reviewed to ensure this office can answer the concerns for the child. There are times other specialities may be better suited, such as a Child Clinical Psychologist or Pediatric Neurologist.

Step 1: This office will contact the family to forward appropriate paperwork, medical intake and age appropriate questionnaires to be completed.

Step 2: The family completes paperwork

Step 3: The family mails in the completed paperwork and copies of relevant past evaluation. (Note: All submitted paperwork must be completed before an appointment will be scheduled).

Step 4: All paperwork is reviewed and questionnaires are scored.

Step 5: The office will contact the family to arrange an appointment.

Step 6: The initial office visit typically takes 90-150 minutes in duration, depending on the complexity of the situation and thoroughness of the intake paperwork. Every effort will be made to provide a determination of a diagnosis, if any, by the end of the visit. There may be times that specialized lab and radiology tests may be needed to confirm a diagnosis. The findings of the evaluation will be reviewed with the family and will recommend a plan of intervention.

Step 7: Follow up is recommended every 6-12 months to monitor progress. If a child is started on medication for behavioral treatment, follow up is much more frequent.

Children 0-5 years are typically scheduled in the morning and school aged children are scheduled in the afternoon.

Our cancellation policy requires that you contact our office at least 24 hours before your child’s scheduled visit. If your appointment is on a Monday, the visit must be cancelled before 12 noon on the previous Friday. If the appointment is not properly cancelled, there will be a charge of $250.00.

Please be aware there is a 9-12 month waiting list to be seen by this specialty within Texas. In the event you must reschedule, there may be an extended waiting time to be seen purely due to consult demand.
