Dr. Lavado and her team demonstrated exceptional professionalism throughout my child's evaluation. Their expertise was evident in the thoroughness and clarity of the assessment process, and they consistently maintained a warm and welcoming atmosphere. My child also felt comfortable throughout the assessment process. We were especially grateful for their rapid availability. I highly recommend their services to anyone seeking a thorough psychological evaluation for school and/or accommodations.
I had the privilege of working with Dr. Lavado, and I cannot recommend her enough. She is incredibly professional, compassionate, and thorough in her approach. Thanks to her detailed evaluation and assessment, I was able to obtain the accommodations I needed for my academic and professional exams. She was also the one who recommended treatment that truly helped improve my daily life, not just my academic performance. Because of her expertise and support, I now have the opportunity to succeed on the same level as my peers who do not face the same health challenges. I am deeply grateful for her dedication and the lasting positive impact she has had on my journey. J.E.
I was looking for a formal psychological evaluation for my ADHD and had started with another psychologist. They were messy, rigid, and not flexible. I was going to give up on it until I found Dr. Lavado. Not only is she the most compassionate, selfless, and caring psychologist I could’ve ever imagined to work with, but she goes the extra mile to make her patients feel cared for. Just today (Saturday) she looked at my request for accommodations and responded within a few hours- not only is it a weekend, but she’s also on vacation. She called me and I could literally hear her child in the background. Truly outstanding patient care. Not only that, her scheduling staff is always attentive and -once again – will go the extra mile. I will be recommending her to everyone I know and truly couldn’t be more happy with my decision to work with her.
Dr. Lavado was a God sent to me & my family. After hearing no where had availability for an evaluation before December, I was able to get in with her with only a week waiting time. The office & staff were very professional & turnaround for the report was quick as well. I would recommend her to anyone 100 times over & I don’t do that easily normally. Her & her team were able to help me navigate all that was new to me with the process & answer all the questions I had. Thank you for everything Dr. Lavado & continued success in your practice!
Dr. Lavado is wonderful! She evaluated my daughter last week and was phenomenal. This lady is kind, thorough, professional, and above all cares about her patients. She does not take shortcuts. So thankful I found her ❤️
Dr. Lavado was so sweet and professional to both me and my daughter. She explained the testing process and results. I am so happy I found her. It was such a pleasure working with her.

Dr. Lavado is, without a doubt, one of the most caring, kind, patient and thorough doctors we've worked with -- As a mother of three, two of whom were evaluated and in the care of Dr. Lavado, I simply cannot recommend her enough. If you're considering where to go to start finding answers and support for your child, please call Dr. Lavado, you will be so thankful you did!!!
Dr. Lavado made my kids feel at ease, welcome and comfortable from beginning to end. She stayed later hours to accomodate my family's schedule, and she and her staff have been nothing but professional and remarkably patient through the entire process. She really takes the time to help the parents understand the findings of her evaluation, as well as help us to find quality care that's uniquely experienced to help the individual needs of your child as they begin to embark on the next steps toward healing and help.
Since the day I gave birth to my son (3rd grade, age 8 at time of evaluation), I had always known something was "off", but I just couldn't put my finger on it. I had spoken with many different pediatricians over the years, and had always been assured that his mood instability was "normal" and he'd grow out of it. But, parents... when we know... we know; and I knew that he struggled to manage his emotions more than is usual for a child his age. Angry outbursts, extreme emotional breakdowns, paranoid, sleepless and negative and extreme thought patterns (sees world in black and white). Dr. Lavado was able to provide a diagnosis for my son that concluded he is challenged with DMDD, ODD, PTSD, ADHD and Generalized Anxiety.
Independently, I also sought a separate evaluation from a pediatric psychiatrist. Without prior knowledge of Dr. Lavado's findings, this other doctor was in full agreement that my son received proper diagnosis.
I care little about the actual labels, and care every bit about understanding the mind-body-spirit of these disorders and what my son experiences so that I can begin to finally get him support that is effective. He is well on his way to being more in control of his thoughts, emotions and behaviors than ever before and we wouldn't be here without the extraordinary patience, compassion and thorough dedication of Dr. Lavado and her team.
If you feel your child is struggling and you're looking for answers, reach out to Dr. Lavado and her team - I am so grateful I did!!
Dr. Lavado is an exceptional doctor. An excellent experience from beginning to end. Professional and detailed, easy to understand. Overall extremely helpful, highly recommend!
As a concerned mother, I was very hesitant on who to trust with evaluating my child. From the beginning, Dr. Lavado was extremely patient and kind. She took the time to explain the process and all the necessary steps. The evaluation was extremely thorough and shed light on many areas of concern. I am extremely pleased with her professionalism and genuine care. I would definitely recommend her to any parent who is in my position. Thank you Dr. Lavado!
Dr. Megan Lavado was extremely helpful with Autism testing and helping us find providers to get our child the recommended treatment. Her report we needed for our insurance and records was very detailed and accurate, which is huge when you're seeking ABA therapy through insurance. She also explained the report and diagnosis to us. We highly recommend Dr. Lavado!
Dr. Lavado is an amazing psychologist. I searched for several months to find a doctor who is responsive and qualified and when I found her I finally felt comfortable. She is extremely efficient and responds when you need her right away. I am extremely satisfied with my entire experience with her.
Dr. Lavado is an amazing doctor. She took the time to explain what is going on with my son. She guided me in finding the right resources that could really help my son. I am so thankful for her.
I was very impressed with the detailed findings provided in Dr. Lavado’s report, she took the time to address my concerns and provided caring guidance. Dr. Lavado’s calming demeanor was greatly appreciated during this stressful time. I highly recommend Dr. Lavado.
The process to get a child diagnosed and evaluated for autism is not easy, especially when one is already juggling all the day-to-day challenges. Dr. Lavado was amazing and a bright spot throughout our journey to get our little one to be approved for ABA. Dr. Lavado is meticulous, detailed, patient and supportive. Her deep knowledge of the resources available for parents was a great help to us.
Dr. Lavado evaluated my son for ASD. She was an absolute pleasure to work with. My son is nonverbal and was unable to begin his therapies without a diagnosis report for the insurance company. The initial evaluations for children with special needs can be extremely stressful and exhausting. Dr. Lavado is very knowledgeable, kind and understanding, helping to put all of your parental anxieties at ease. Dr. Lavado went above and beyond to get the report out in a fraction of the normal time it takes, so that my son could start the therapies he needs as soon as possible. She also offers virtual services for high risk children with compromised immune systems who are under strict social distancing rules due to Covid. I highly recommend Dr. Lavado. Thank you so much for everything. You have been such a blessing for my son.
We were lucky to receive Dr. Lavado as a referral through my insurance provider. Even before speaking with her I was impressed by the professionalism and thoroughness of her office's communication. Return phone calls and emails were prompt, and the pre-consultation questionnaires we had to fill out were extensive which made us trust her services before even meeting her. Meeting Dr. Lavado for our first appointment, she quickly made us feel at ease. She spent as much time as needed to conduct a thorough evaluation, stretching out what was normally a 1-2 day meeting over multiple days because my son needed the sessions broken up to manage. The final evaluation which we received not only provided test results, her observations and conclusions but pages of recommendations both in terms of next steps (types of recommended services and recommended providers), suggested scholastic accommodation for my son (both for in school and virtual models), and locations/providers for family support. I am very grateful to Dr. Lavado for her patience and generosity and would easily recommend her services.
