If your child is dealing with developmental disorders or displaying certain behaviors that have you concerned, the best doctor to turn to is a developmental pediatrician. Our developmental pediatrician, Dr. Marc Connery, here at BYP Kids specializes in diagnosing, treating, and managing developmental and behavioral conditions in children and teens here in Northwest Indiana.
