Richard Linsk MD, PhD
                  
            
Greetings!

I am a
Board-Certified Pediatrician and former faculty member at the
University of Michigan. I attended college at the University of Chicago, I have a
PhD in Genetics from the University of California, Berkeley, and I obtained my
MD from Columbia University in New York City. I completed my residency
training in Pediatrics at Columbia and at the University of Michigan and
completed a year of Clinical Genetics training at the University of Michigan. I
have been a practicing primary care pediatrician since 1997.

I have
researched and published on the care of ear infections in children and
authored the University of Michigan Otitis Media Clinical Practice Guideline,
which encourages following ear infections without antibiotics. I do not like
using antibiotics unless really necessary. I have found that many parents feel
the same.

I have been interested in the
care of autistic children since 2003 when I first
learned about the
biomedical therapy of autism through the parents of autistic
patients. I now apply many of the
principles of biomedical therapy to the care
of non autistic conditions such as
ADHD, behavioral disorders, allergies,
constipation, and diarrhea.
I also believe that pharmaceuticals can have an
important role in the care of these conditions. Furthermore, I enjoy doing
guided imagery therapy and behavioral counseling.

I look forward to meeting you!

Dr. Linsk
