Testimonials
"Really kind professional doctor assessment for ADHD today. Really efficient service with a waiting time of less than a week from my GPs referral although I did have a cancellation appointment. I was also offered a date later in the week. Efficient communication from Adele. I opted for the online assessment and took around 90 minutes. Time to ask questions at the end. Really good service and cannot recommend them enough."

Dr. Desai-Gupta carried out my assessment, and I can’t fault the experience. It was quick, effective, and handled with great professionalism. I would highly recommend this service to anyone seeking an ADHD assessment."

Within 3 days I had a phone call and an appt. And now I’ve been seen within 6 days. Such speedy service and the relief of having a diagnoses, that I have strongly suspected I have. Dr Gupta listened with kindness, understanding and empathy. Thoroughly recommend!"
