Our Physician Clinics offer specialty medical care for children and young adults with special needs. Staffed by pediatric specialists, over thirty clinics occur on a monthly basis including neurology, physical medicine and rehabilitation (physiatry), and child and adolescent psychiatry.

Physical Medicine and Rehabilitative Clinic (PM&R)
Evaluation and treatment are provided by a board certified PM&R doctor. The clinic focuses on the rehabilitation of developmentally disabled children through non-surgical approaches. The doctor will evaluate the child and develop a plan of care with the parents through diagnostic, therapeutic, and management procedures. The PM&R doctor works closely with occupational, physical and speech therapists to coordinate children's rehabilitation programs and orders specialized equipment to assist children. Spasticity management is important and can be done in a variety of ways including oral medications and Botox injections.

Botox Clinic
Botox injections are done to reduce spasticity, pain and drooling.  Injections are done by a board certified Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation doctor. Injections are commonly done before serial casting so the children's muscles are relaxed in the casts, and they are more comfortable. Botox injections promote easier movement, easier care and less pain for our children.  Ultrasound guidance is done for specific muscles and for salivary glands.  Ultrasound guidance is the gold standard for Botox injections and The DIC is pleased to be among the first to offer this service.

Neurology Clinic
Board certified pediatric neurologists and nurse practitioners provide diagnostic evaluation and treatment for children with known or suspected neurological problems. Children are seen for a variety of conditions such as, epilepsy, autism spectrum disorder, attention deficit disorder, specific learning difficulties, language processing, sensory processing dysfunction, and behavioral difficulties. Information requested from parents and teachers is always included as part of the evaluation.

Child and Adolescent Psychiatry Clinic
Psychiatry services are offered to patients with psychiatric difficulties in addition to their developmental disabilities. Services are provided by a board certified child/adolescent psychiatrist. Services are limited and available upon referral only.

Nursing
The nursing staff provides on-site and telephone consultation relating to the client’s medical care and management, answering questions regarding seizure management, medications, prescription renewals, laboratory studies, and patient behavior problems. Parent education is provided on a variety of medical topics and procedures.

Lab Services
In coordination with the Detroit Medical Center, The DIC provides lab services on a limited basis. During operating hours, families can come in without an appointment and have blood testing done. Families need to bring a copy of the patient’s current insurance and the physician prescription for the lab tests.

Primary Care Clinic
Primary Care services are offered to our patients who are already receiving services at The DIC and who do not have a primary care physician. Acute visits, routine physicals, well check-ups and vaccinations are offered by a board certified pediatrician and nurse practitioner.
