Dr Carosso is amazing!!

I’ve always have known my daughter (3) was autistic. We sought out Early Intervention shortly after her 18 month appt when speech was a concern. We then had her enrolled for Intermediate services once she aged out of Early Intervention (age 3). My daughter progressed majorly with these services but all of a sudden within the last couple months appeared to be “stuck”. I finally felt it into my core that it was time to get her evaluated for something i’ve always known she’s had. She was diagnosed with level 2-3 ASD with Dr Carosso, and everything in that evaluation was her. That entire eval was truthful, she was not under diagnosed or over diagnosed, he was spot on! I love that the eval was play based, which showed her capabilities but also her frustrations and struggles.. it also brought out her characteristics of ASD. Dr Carosso was very informative with any questions I had in regards to ABA therapy! He’s such a good listener & makes you feel heard and not alone. 10/10 recommend!

We were impressed at how quickly Dr. Carosso was able to understand our child and his needs!

We were grateful for the opportunity to speak with Dr. Carosso and share our concerns as parents with him. He was receptive to everything we had to share. He asked the right questions and was skilled in the process of getting down to the “answers”. We left with a diagnosis that initially we were surprised by, but ultimately it made sense. Without Dr. Carosso, we have missed what our child needed most. We left with hope of the future and confidence in the process of obtaining more resources and services moving forward. He was quick to give us everything we were looking for. In addition, he was very sweet with my 4 year old and made him feel comfortable during the process. Highly recommend!

Professional and thorough

It is always nerve-wracking to share personal details of your child's emotional and behavioral growth with a person you have just met. However, Dr. Carosso and his staff were always courteous, understanding, and supportive. They made my daughter, husband and I felt at ease. They dedicated us time and let us speak, without rushing us to take decisions. We felt heard.
