Full detailsWhat parents say
We were completely unaware of conditions like ASD. She listened patiently to all our concerns and gave us practical tips to get through. She has been a real support and guide for us.
Our son's school suggested her name. Her diagnosis and treatment plan were accurate, and she was always gentle and open to our observations. The improvement is remarkable.
She arranged personality and IQ tests, explained the results clearly and guided us on what to do next. We are so thankful for her guidance.
Questions parents often ask
When should I take my child to a pediatric neurologist?
Consult a pediatric neurologist if your child has fits or seizures, is missing developmental milestones, has lost skills they already had, shows signs of autism or ADHD, has trouble with learning at school, or has weakness or stiffness in the muscles. If a milestone is delayed, you can wait one to two months, and if there is still no progress, get an assessment.
Which age groups does Dr. Mona Gajre see?
Dr. Gajre sees newborns, infants, children and adolescents. Many conditions she treats, like ADHD and learning disabilities, carry into adulthood, so she also guides families on the transition to adult care.
Is EEG testing available?
Yes. EEG testing is available for children with seizures or suspected epilepsy. Video EEG may be advised when the fits need to be recorded.
Do you offer IQ and psychological testing?
Yes. Specialized psychological tests are available, including IQ tests, educational tests, autism rating scales, ADHD tests, aptitude and personality tests, learning disability testing, psychotherapy and career counselling.
