No two patients are the same, and their care shouldn’t be either. There isn’t a one-size-fits-all single treatment for PANS & PANDAS. It’s a multi-faceted approach based on each individuals’ labwork and health history.

Patient-centered care at our office always starts with a holistic health assessment to identify causes, triggers, & contributing factors to your symptoms.

When a child has OCD, parents are often told about medications and therapy, but the terms can feel confusing. Here we discuss ERP vs SRI treatment options.

ERP is recognized as a first-line treatment for OCD and is appropriate as stand-alone therapy. Large analyses comparing treatments in children and adolescents show higher response and remission rates with ERP than with medication alone.

One of my PANS/PANDAS families shared this with me — my patient ‘M’ wrote that they were thankful for me and for IVIG.

Caring for these kids and seeing them heal is truly a privilege. I’m thankful for our patients, their resilience, and the trust they place in us every day.

Did you know PANDAS can occur weeks to months after an infection?? 👀

For this reason, throat swab Strep testing and even blood Strep antibodies may be negative with PANDAS. In addition, if the diagnosis is PANS, the infection can be from other bacteria like Mycoplasma, and even viruses.
