FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
(Free-Press-Release.com) August 2, 2011 -- Dr. Esther Gonzalez, a board certified pediatrician joins the Mane Center
in Tampa, Florida. Dr. Gonzalez said, "I want to give great care to
children with neuro-behavioral disorders by taking the time to give
thorough pediatric evaluations with a neurobehavioral focus," She
feels that early detection is the key and wants to start screening
children as early as 6 months. These screenings will aim at
identifying characteristics
which may be early indicators of conditions such as ADHD and Autism.

“early detection and referral for early intervention has shown to
produce better outcomes.” said, Dr. Gonzalez.

traditional and alternative care co-operating together for the benefit
of the families. Dr. Gonzalez is unique in that she is not a
behavioral pediatrician but a pediatrician with behavioral experience.
