WHAT IS PANS/PANDAS?

PANS and PANDAS (also known as Basal Ganglia Encephalitis) are disorders of the immune system that occur in 1 in 200 children. The course is of abrupt onset and is often episodic or waxing and waning, and sometimes difficult to understand. My guidebook, membership and mentoring program helps medical professionals understand, diagnose and treat PANS, PANDAS and BGE.

MD – Arundel Pediatrics, Linthicum, Maryland

The one good thing about getting so many complicated PANDAS/PANS patients is that it often gave me the opportunity to learn from Dr. O’Hara. I have had several mentoring sessions over the past few years, and each one gave me new ideas and filled me with new passion. I literally have my notes from every session, and I go back to them often for guidance and advice. It was so comforting to know that when I hit a block, I could reach out to Dr. O’Hara and get fantastic, helpful advice as well as a friendly and supportive ear. I can't say enough great things about Dr. O’Hara, she is just an incredible source of experience, wisdom and inspiration - I feel lucky to learn from her, always!

I know it has been awhile since James visited your practice, but I wanted to send you both a message of immense gratitude. I truly believe that your interventions had a profound effect on James' development. James is verbal, conversational and very social now. His behavioral issues are manageable and most importantly he is a happy and HEALTHY kid. What a difference since we brought him to you over two years ago. Thank you both.
