Karen takes the time and has the experience to understand each autistic individual and has a particular expertise for evaluation and therapy for autistic females. Her autism evaluations are thorough and have recommendations tailored to the individual needs she indentifies. I have recommended her to many friends.

Report
Dr. Toth is the best provider our son had over his 15+ years of receiving care. She listened to him and to us. Our son consistently made real progress on his goals because of Dr. Toth's sessions with him. She guides her patient to discovering and living out solutions. She combines professionalism and friendliness at all times. She's a breath of fresh air in the field. I've recommended her many times to our friends and community.

Report
We have had a great experience with Karen Toth. She was able to connect emotionally with and establish trust our child, provide guidance and expertise for us as parents and make extremely helpful recommendations for schooling. We have worked with many other providers prior to Karen. We found her knowledge, recommendations and counseling to be above and beyond what anyone would expect. On many hard days for both ourselves and our child, Karen was the calm in the storm. As a result our daughter is thriving in ways we never would have predicted prior to her treatment. We highly recommend Karen.
