Dr. Julie Beasley, PHD

Dr Beasley is one smart cookie. She listens, she’s observant and she thinks of solutions and treatment plans rather than referring it to others.

Dr. Beasley and the rest of the staff at The Ackerman Center get bad reviews because they have such a long wait list. Understandable when autism’s prevalence is now 1 in 59 children. My daughter was diagnosed at the Ackerman Center and since then Dr Beasley further evaluated her over five days and then I had to return for one more appointment (without my daughter) so she could thoroughly go through the results and the plan she developed. This woman is amazing and I highly recommend.

The least professional medical staff I've ever dealt with, and I assume it flows from. Could not get an appointment despite trying for more than a year just to get a diagnostic appointment Calls are not returned, file "cannot be located" (I've been in the system over a year, calling at least every two weeks), empty promises that I should have an appointment "in the next few months." Who runs an office like this? Certainly not any real professional or anyone who cares about helping people.

Long waiting period for both appointments, follow ups, and diagnostic reports. Initially she seemed great but lacks courtesy & seems easily frustrated when asked questions. I understand that the testing and treatment is second nature to her but I want my child to have the best help available and unfortunately I am not a specialist in this area. She seems to be a very busy woman which should indicate she is good but I would have preferred to take my child to someone with a kinder demeanor.
