Dylan,
There are good doctors and there are not so good doctors. Many families 'travel' to find a good doctor that they trust. That being said I actually found an environemental doctor (who is amazing) that follows the DAN protocol via one of the moms at the special education class my son used to attend. Sometimes the people you see all of the time have the best information!
The best DAN doctors are not necessarily the ones who charge the most! If it feels like a rip-off, generally it is. I think that it is important to check the boards/moms when you locate a doctor that you think that your going to make an appointment with.
I originally went to one naturopath..
You are putting your child's into the hands of your doctor and you really have to have that 'trust'. A lot of the moms will visit their DAN only once or twice a year and travel; the rest is done over the phone.
So..... research well. The more you research and the more you become informed, the better you can do.
That said..... Mark is 13 and we did many years of therapy for his dyspraxia but it was not great therapy. I then found NACD and did two years of 'at home' therapy that was GREAT and made a substantial amount of head-way. In the end though, after most of the therapy was done, I could see that my child was actually 'ill' and lacked energy and vitality. We started a diet in June and did testing in September (when I located my current doctor), did supplements in October and did round one of DMSA a couple of weeks ago.
My son responded fabulously with DMSA (he is toxic in lead), probably because he had already come soooooo far in therapy and also because of the prep. work we had already done for his stomach and via supplements. 13 is considered old to get much benefit from chelation work but we did fabulously well..... my son lost all of his remaining issues of dyspraxia (he didn't have many left but.... the gains he made were impressive and I will outline them sometime). He did regress this week but we do another round this weekend and I hope to get the complete NT boy back next week again! Not every child will necessary need this work or will every family decide to do this type of work for it is extremely individual and personal to everyone but the testing is really beneficial because then you get to see what you're dealing with.
So.... while you are looking for a good doctor, if you don't have them already, read some of the biomedical 'bibles' such as "Children with Starving Brains" by Jacqueline McCandless and "Healing the New Childhood Epidemics: Autism, Asthma, Alergies and ADHD" by Dr. Kenneth Bock and begin to 'understand' the different items to work with.
Good luck and remember sometimes the best doctors are found at the most unusual places. Don't hestitate to talk to the parents of other kids with affected children, particularly the ASD moms since many of them are well-connected to the biomedical world. They often know their stuff....

I have read some posts mention DAN. Do they see children who are not
autistic as well? Would that be the first step to go in order for
testing?
Thanks,
