Dr. Bar has been seeing our daughter since she was an infant. Our daughter is now 10 and we would not think of taking her to any other doctor. Dr. Bar cares, and it shows. She always listens to our concerns and gives us the best care and treatment. We would not trust our daughter’s health to just any one, and Dr Bar is not just any one. She’s warm, friendly and always a human first, and a doctor second. Another thing we like about Dr. Bar. She never rushes us out of the office, and always spends quality time with us. She?s the type of person you can confide and know that you can trust implicitly. God bless Dr. Bar.

This is my comment bellow on the ASD disorder for more information please visit our workshops on

call Wendi and find out when is the next workshop and see you soon.
Autism spectrum disorders (ASDs)
Are a group of related developmental disabilities, caused by a problem with the brain, that affect a child’s behavior, social, and communication skills. ASDs include autistic disorder, “pervasive developmental disorder-not otherwise specified” (PDD-NOS) and Asperger Syndrome.

New data suggests that approximately 1 in 110 children have an ASD*. There is currently no cure for ASDs, however, children with an ASD can progress developmentally and learn new skills. The AAP strongly believes in the importance of early and continuous surveillance and screening for ASD to ensure that children are identified and receive access to services as early as possible. The sooner an ASD is identified, the sooner an intervention program can start.

Studies On The Causes of Autism
Studies have focused on the genetics of autism and the timing of the first
symptoms of autism.
Genetics of autism
One of the best ways to determine whether a particular disease or syndrome
is genetic is to examine the incidence in identical (monozygotic)
and fraternal (dizygotic) twins. Using a strict definition of autism, when
one twin has autism, 60% of identical and 0% of fraternal twins have
autism. Using a broader definition of autism (i.e., autistic spectrum disorder),
when one twin has autism, approximately 92% of identical and
10% of fraternal twins have autism. (8,9)
Therefore, autism clearly has a genetic basis.
Timing of development of autism
• Autism symptoms are present before 1 year of age
Perhaps the best data examining when symptoms of autism are first
evident are the “home-movie studies.” These studies took advantage
of the fact that many parents take movies of their children during their
first birthday (before they have received the MMR vaccine). Home
movies from children who were eventually diagnosed with autism and
those who were not diagnosed with autism were shown to blinded
neurodevelopmental specialists. Investigators were, with a very high
degree of accuracy, able to separate autistic from non-autistic children
at 1 year of age.(10-14)
These studies found that subtle symptoms of autism are present earlier
than some parents had suspected, and that receipt of the MMR vaccine
did not precede the first symptoms of autism.
• Autism symptoms are present before 4 months of age
Other investigators extended the home-movie studies of 1-year-old
children to include videotapes of children taken at 2-3 months of age.
Using a sophisticated movement analysis, videos from children eventually
diagnosed with autism or not diagnosed with autism were coded
and evaluated for their capacity to predict autism. Children who were
eventually diagnosed with autism were predicted from movies taken
in early infancy.(15)
This study supported the hypothesis that very subtle symptoms of autism
are present in early infancy and argue strongly against vaccines
as a cause of autism.
• Evidence that autism occurs in utero
Toxic or viral insults in utero as well as certain central nervous system
disorders are associated with an increase in the incidence of autism.
For example, children exposed to thalidomide during the first or early
second trimester were found to have an increased incidence of autism.(
16) However, autism occurred in children with ear, but not arm or
leg, abnormalities. Because arms and legs develop after 24 days gestation,
the risk period for autism following receipt of thalidomide must
be before 24 days gestation. In support of this finding, Rodier and
colleagues(17) found evidence for structural brainstem abnormalities in
children with autism
. Finally, children with fragile X syndrome or tuberous sclerosis are also
at increased risk of developing autism.
Taken together, these findings indicate that autism is likely due to abnormalities
of the central nervous system that occur in utero.
Summing Up
Studies of 1) the genetics of autism, 2) the timing of the first symptoms
of autism (home-movie studies), 3) the relationship between autism and
the receipt of the MMR vaccine, 4) the histopathology of the central nervous
system of children with autism, and 5) thalidomide, natural rubella
infection, fragile X syndrome, and tuberous sclerosis all support the fact
that autism occurs during development of the central nervous system early
in utero.

Last week one of the parents asked me: Why do I make House Calls?
I said: “Because illnesses and accidents don’t always happen during business hours, over my last 20 years working with children It never fails that kids wait until 5:05 p.m. to sprain an ankle or show signs of ear infection.”
My goal is to provide an affordable alternative to expensive emergency room care for parents and their children. And at the same time, ensure that the children receive the same quality care they would from their primary care pediatrician. An emergency visit may cost close to a thousand dollars not to mention the lost value of our time.

While I am committed to providing our patients with excellent urgent care after hours, we are also committed to providing their primary care pediatrician with excellent follow-up information. This is why so many pediatricians refer their own patients to us time and time again.
We’re open 365 days a year, after your regular pediatrician’s office is closed
For after-hours appointments, call Dr. Bar’s cell 949 675- 6759 after 4 pm on weekdays and at any time on weekends and holidays.

Every day, 374 children in the United States ages 0 to 19 are treated in an emergency department, and two children die, as a result of being poisoned. It’s not just chemicals in your home marked with clear warning labels that can be dangerous to children.

Everyday items in your home, such as household cleaners and medicines, can be poisonous to children as well. Active, curious children will often investigate—and sometimes try to eat or drink—anything that’s left out and within their reach.

Thankfully, there are ways you can help poison-proof your home and protect the children you love.

Prevention Tips
Lock them up. Keep medicines and toxic products, such cleaning solutions, in locked or childproof cabinets.

Know the number. Put the nationwide poison control center phone number, 1-800-222-1222, on or near every telephone in your home. You should also program it into your cellular phone. You can reach poison control centers 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Call poison control if you think a child has been poisoned and if they are awake and alert. Call 911 if you have a poison emergency and your child has collapsed or is not breathing.

Read the label. Follow label directions and read all warnings when giving medicines to children.

Don’t keep it if you don’t need it. Safely dispose of unused, unneeded, or expired prescription drugs. Be aware that if you dispose of unused medicines, they can be mixed with coffee grounds or kitty litter to make them less appealing to children.
