COMPLEX CASES REQUIRE A CLOSER LOOK.

At the PANDAS/PANS Institute, Dr. Trifiletti evaluates and treats complex cases that may not fit neatly into one diagnosis, including:

• PANDAS/PANS
• Autism & developmental concerns
• Multi-system diseases
• Unexplained changes in mental status
• Vaccine reactions
• Lyme disease & related conditions
• Immunodeficiency
• Progressive developmental delay or loss of skills
• Dementia
• Chronic fatigue syndrome & fibromyalgia
• Chronic headaches & other persistent pain
• Cases involving symptoms that have been dismissed as “in your head”

When symptoms cross specialties or don’t have an obvious explanation, looking at the whole picture can be an important part of finding answers.

TESTIMONIAL TUESDAY💚
When you’re a parent searching for answers, you want someone who will listen, be thorough & truly care. For this family, that meant traveling from Illinois to see Dr. Trifiletti, & they say the experience gave them exactly that.

We invite you to read their full review below. Their words beautifully capture the care, compassion & support they experienced throughout their journey.💙

“I am from Illinois & when my son started experiencing sudden onset OCD, separation anxiety, & temper tantrums we suspected PANDAS. I knew I wanted the best of the best for my son so we flew to Dr. T. He completed a thorough evaluation with extensive lab work in his office.

The phlebotomist in office is amazing & made my son feel so comfortable prior to his blood draw. We also decided to complete genetic testing so my husband & I completed lab work as well. Given results of the tests, Dr. T started my son on antibiotics & we saw a quick improvement.

Throughout treatment, Dr. T was quick to answer emails & modified treatment as needed. He listened to me & genuinely wanted to help my son & make things as easy as possible for us as parents living so far from NJ.

When we decided it was time for IVIG, we met with him via zoom & he explained the whole process. He provided us with a whole written protocol. He is VERY willing to work with insurance for coverage.

Given our distance from NJ, he offered to send his treatment plan to a children’s hospital closer to home. We are in the process of setting up IVIG through a pediatric infusion center. Dr. T is there to help & he’s proven it multiple times
throughout this “journey.”

Last but certainly not least, Mary, the receptionist has been amazing. I had an absolute nightmare of an experience with a receptionist from a pandas clinic in Chicago, so it was such a relief to talk to someone that follows through on everything that is requested of her. She is prompt & will return every call/email. She has made this process so much easier! When asked to send out referral to the children’s hospital closer to home, it was sent that day!

If you want prompt, genuine care, choose Dr. T & Mary : ).”

💙 Every child with PANDAS/PANS is different, & their treatment should be too.

🌿 Dr. Trifiletti’s approach begins with a detailed evaluation to identify potential triggers of a PANS episode & uses those
findings to create an individualized treatment plan.

Treatment may include:
🧪 Blood testing to identify potential triggers
💊 Anti-inflammatory medications, antibiotics or antivirals when appropriate
🧬 A thorough evaluation of the immune system
💧 IVIG when clinically indicated
While IVIG can be an important option for some children,fewer than 10% of patients in our practice require it.

💙 The focus is on understanding each child’s unique situation, identifying what may be contributing to their symptoms, & tailoring treatment accordingly, not a one-size-fits-all protocol.
