    Before I went into medicine, I often found myself wanting to do better for people, for the world. I did a lot of soul-searching, but I kept coming back to medicine, and I chose pediatrics because I think pediatricians have a unique opportunity to help kids build a healthy foundation for a healthy life.One of my favorite appointments is with newborn babies and first time parents, because they have a lot of questions. As a pediatrician,I understand how important it is to walk them through what to expect and to reassure them that babies have many different things going on, and that usually it's just a variation on what's normal.I enjoy learning about marine biology, and I used to volunteer at an aquarium when I lived in Southern California.  I also studied ballet for about 25 years.I want to create a very warm, welcoming, inviting appointment so that kids and parents feel like I really spent time with them, focused on their needs. I want them to know that they are my priority. Dr. Graziani is rated as an Experienced provider by MediFind in the treatment of Autism Spectrum Disorder.

    With every physician there lies a purpose for why he or she practices a particular field of medicine. My purpose lies in the well-being and health of children. The resilience yet innocence of the pediatric population is what drives my passion and purpose for providing medical care. I will continue to treat each pediatric patient with the same zeal and passion as the last. With that I am assured that I will learn and grow from every patient, making me a more confident, compassionate, and knowledgeable pediatric resident.In my free time I enjoy being outdoors, exercising, and playing ultimate frisbee.  I also enjoy participating in charity walks.My purpose of providing good medical care lies in the well – being of children. I believe that each patient has basic needs, rights, privileges, and preferences which must be respected as long as they are within the realm of reason and will do no harm to the patient.

    What is the definition of Autism Spectrum Disorder?

    Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a developmental disorder. It often appears in the first 2 to 3 years of life. ASD affects the brain's ability to develop normal social and communication skills.

    When should I see an Autism Spectrum Disorder doctor near Freedom, CA?

    There are various reasons why you may want to see a specialist, such as: 

    • Your primary care provider recommends it. 
    • Your condition requires expert knowledge and specialized care. 
    • Your symptoms persist or worsen despite treatment. 
    • You need specialized testing or procedures. 
    • You want a second opinion.  

    What should I consider when choosing an Autism Spectrum Disorder doctor near Freedom, CA?

    It’s important to see a provider with expertise in your specific condition. Each provider profile in MediFind’s doctor database includes information on which conditions they treat, years of experience, research contributions, languages spoken, insurance plans accepted, and more.  

    How does MediFind rank Autism Spectrum Disorder doctors near Freedom, CA?

    MediFind’s rankings are based on a variety of data sources, such as the number of articles a doctor has published in medical journals, participation in clinical trials and industry conferences, as well as the number of patients that provider sees for a given condition. Note that MediFind’s provider database is not based on user reviews, and providers do not pay to be included in the database. 

    What types of insurance are accepted by Autism Spectrum Disorder doctors near Freedom, CA?

    Most profiles in MediFind’s doctor database include a list of insurance plans accepted by that provider. However, it’s a good idea to contact the provider’s office to make sure they still accept your insurance, then doublecheck by contacting your insurance plan to confirm they’re in network. 

    How can I book an appointment online with an Autism Spectrum Disorder doctor near Freedom, CA?

    MediFind offers direct scheduling for certain providers using the “Request Appointment” button on that provider’s profile. If the schedule option is not available for a provider, tap the red “Show Phone Number” button on their profile to get their contact information. If you prefer to find providers who offer online scheduling, select “Schedules online” under the “Availability” category of the filter feature on the left side of the Autism Spectrum Disorder doctor search results page. 

    Why is it important to get a second opinion from a different Autism Spectrum Disorder doctor?

    Second opinions are an opportunity to confirm a diagnosis and its root cause, learn about alternative treatment options, or simply gain peace of mind. Many people, especially those with serious diagnoses, get second opinions so they can understand all their options and make informed decisions, so don’t hesitate to get one if you have any doubts or need more information or clarification regarding your care. Note that some insurance plans require second opinions, while others don’t cover second opinions, so be sure to confirm with your insurance provider first.   

    How can I prepare for my appointment with an Autism Spectrum Disorder doctor near Freedom, CA?

    Prepare for your appointment by gathering the following items: 

    • Copies of medical records (dating back at least one year) 
    • Your medical history, including illnesses, medical conditions, surgeries, and other doctors you see 
    • Family history of disease 
    • List of current prescription drugs, over-the-counter medicines, vitamins, and herbal remedies or supplements including names and doses 
    • Allergies to medications, food, latex, insects, etc.  
    • List of questions and concerns 
    • Your insurance card 

    You might also contact the provider’s office to see if they offer transportation or childcare services or if you’re allowed to bring a loved one for support or to take notes during your visit. 

    What questions should I ask my Autism Spectrum Disorder doctor?

    Here are some sample questions: 

    • Can you explain in simple terms what this condition is and how it’s treated? 
    • What symptoms or side effects should I watch for? 
    • What tests will be involved, and when can I expect results? 
    • Are there other specialists I need to see? 
    • What’s the best way to reach you if I have follow-up questions? 

    How can I learn about the latest clinical trials and research advances my Autism Spectrum Disorder doctor may know about?

    MediFind’s Clinical Trials tool asks you a series of questions to help you narrow down your search by health condition, age, gender, location, how far you’re willing to travel, and more. Each question you answer filters down the number of trials until you find the ones that are most relevant to you. 

    MediFind’s Latest Advances tool features summaries of recent articles published in medical journals. We use cutting-edge technology to scour medical publication databases for the latest research advancements on any given condition, then we simplify this information in a way that’s useful and easy to understand. 

    Can I filter my search to show male or female Autism Spectrum Disorder doctors near Freedom, CA?

    Look for the filter feature on the left side of the Autism Spectrum Disorder doctor search results page. Select “Female” or “Male” under the “Gender” category to search for female or male providers exclusively. If the “Any” option is selected, it will pull results for both male and female providers. 

    Can I filter my search to find an Autism Spectrum Disorder doctor that offers video calls?

    Look for the filter feature on the left-side of the Autism Spectrum Disorder doctor search results page. Select “Offers telehealth visits” under the Availability category to search for providers who offer virtual appointments (video calls).
