My child was diagnosed with ADHD. Would you go to a neurologist or developmental peditrician to treat your child. Do you have any recommendation in Brooklyn?

I was told by a friend that dr Hassan diagnosed her daughter badly and almost damaged her with wrong medication.
I asked my pediatrician about it and he told me to stay far from Hassan.

Dr wolf is consdiered good but doesn't take all insurance.
I went to dr Gary Mcabee in Maimonides (recommended by my pediatrician ) and was quite impressed. His office and staff wasn't to my liking though but that's too bad.

Who is your peditrician?
Is Dr Wolf in Brooklyn or the city?
Is Gary Mcabee private or more clinic style office?

Dr wolf has 2 offices both in manhattan I think? Not sure.
Mcabee is more clinic style and I didn't like it but he came across as very experienced and good.

I liked the experience better at the Developmental pediatrician. The neurologist felt like a meds factory. The dev ped is much more thorough and whole child focused.
