We have to get an eye and dental exam for our son who is going into kindergarten this fall. Does anybody have any recommendations (in or near Naperville) for docs who are good with children with special needs? My son is not going to cooperate with them for these exams, so it's essential that we find someone who will be patient enough and understanding of our issues. Thanks in advance.
for the eye exam you can try Dr. Lise Ann Guay-Bhatia. I know she works with pediatric special needs children and is great. She works at the Aurora Eye Clinic in Aurora on Highland and at Rush Copley hospital in Aurora.
If he goes for therapy, you could ask the therapist. You could also try calling the Easter Seals and see if they have a referral.

If you are willing to travel to Oak Brook, go see Dr. John Nathan - ###-###-####. He is excellent. He is a special needs dentist. He is awesome!
Good luck,

Grove Dental Associates seems to be very good with special needs patients. They actually came to my son's preschool a few years ago for a parent workshop. We go there and are very happy with how they deal with the kids. I know they have an office in Bolingbrook on Boughton Rd. They have other offices too, but I'm not sure which cities right now. www.grovedental.com
My son has Down syndrome. We see Dr Julie at Maple Park ental in Bolingbrook. She is really good.
For the eye exam we see Dr Castillo at Dreyer. I have never met a man so calm in my life.
Yuo could also look on line at Chicago Parent. They have their special needs resources.
