Vanderbilt Children's Developmental Medicine

The facility is clean and well maintained. The staff are nice and attentive. The day we went there had been a power outage so we waited about 45 minutes, but considering that, 45 min could have been worse. I think the one star reviews are a bit unfair in terms of wait. As for quality of care, I feel like we are getting taken care of. Good recommendations for future interventions and lots of discussion on where we are going and where we've been. I can say with out having come here, we would be wandering in the dark trying to get the care needed and making the behavioral changes necessary. I do recommend coming here if you are covered by your insurance.

My daughter has been on a waiting list at this clinic for almost a year, with an appointment promised to her. When I called to confirm, I was told they no longer accept her insurance, even though they had accepted it when she was put on the waiting list and the referral came from the state. Other parents continue to use this clinic successfully, so it seems like the rules are applied inconsistently. This has been very frustrating, especially given my daughter’s ongoing needs.

Do not take your Autistic child here if you can help it. These people are so rude you would never guess this is an Autistic children’s clinic. The lady at the desk after 10+ minutes of my kids being bored and screaming she offered him a coloring book. They had a tv in the waiting room and that’s it no toys. Then when the coloring book didn’t work another 10 minutes later then they offered us the “calming room” but it was just an overstimulating room. The first lady who evaluated my son left the room for 10 minutes or more because she forgot something and of course that made him start having a fit because he wanted to leave the room also so when she came back he wouldn’t cooperate with her. Every question she asked us, she acted like she didn’t believe our answers “are you sure” she kept sa

We thank God for Dr. Dressler! He is one of a kind in how he cares about our son! I've never met a more kind and responsive provider! We travel quite a distance for Dr.Dressler to take care of our son and it's worth every mile!

My son was a patient there over 2 years. With no results. Rude Dr's and nurses. When we would bring up concerns with medication or behavior we would.be told they was the doctor and we need to do what they say(like we aren't the parents with our child 24/7). Don't waste your time here.
