PANS / PANDAS
Pediatric Acute-onset Neuropsychiatric Syndrome (PANS) and Pediatric Autoimmune Neuropsychiatric Disorders Associated with Streptococcal Infections (PANDAS)
We provide specialty-informed care for children and adolescents impacted by PANS/PANDAS.
​
Care is grounded in a thoughtful, evidence-informed approach that recognizes the complex interaction between immune function, neuropsychiatric symptoms, and the nervous system. Treatment planning emphasizes careful assessment, conservative decision-making, and ongoing monitoring over time.
When appropriate, care is coordinated collaboratively with medical providers. For PANS/PANDAS-related care, we work in collaboration with Dr. Spiekerman through Arcadia Pediatric Consulting to support comprehensive evaluation and continuity of care.
Support is individualized and paced, with attention to symptom severity, functional impact, and family needs. Given the complexity of these conditions, recommendations may evolve over time and may include coordination with pediatricians, specialists, therapists, and schools.
