Adult ADHD Assessment FAQ

The Adult ADHD Assessment will be very similar to the one that would normally have been performed under the public system. Detailed and extensive questionnaires are completed for ADHD/ADD as well as other psychological disorders such as depression and anxiety.  There is also a detailed review of past medical history and educational history.  An interview is conducted by means of telemedicine.  The medical part of the assessment will be performed by a Nurse Practitioner who has been trained by Dr. G. Parhar.  Nurse Practitioners are independent health professionals who may diagnose, treat and manage acute and chronic physical and mental illnesses. 

Both Dr. G. Parhar, the Adult ADHD Medical Director, and Dr. A. Parhar, the Adult ADHD Educational Director, will review your assessment forms, interview notes, your medical history, your educational history, your psychological history and the final summary consultation report, to ensure that it is of the highest quality possible.

After the Private Adult ADHD Assessment a summary consultation report will be provided that summarizes symptoms, medical history, educational history, diagnosis and provides details about management including medication recommendations. These recommendations may be then implemented by the patient’s family physician/nurse practitioner.

The Adult ADHD Centre will endeavour to schedule an ADHD clinical interview within 2-3 weeks.  The consultation report will be emailed to you within 4 weeks after your interview. If the appointment date is not soon enough for the patient’s needs, the full paid amount will be refunded. 

The private assessment clinical interviews are conducted by a Nurse Practitioner. A Nurse Practitioner is not able to bill through public health.  

As each private Extended Benefits Plan is quite different, it is best that this be checked by the patient contacting their Extended Benefits Plan.  The Adult ADHD Centre will provide a receipt which can then be used for reimbursement if this service is covered under a patient’s Extended Benefits Plan. 

Each patient’s tax situation is quite different as it depends on income and other personal expenses,  thus we would recommend this be discussed with an accountant.

It is not necessary to see Dr. G. Parhar in consultation after the Private Adult ADHD Assessment as a consultation report will be provided that summarizes symptoms, medical history, educational history, diagnosis and provides details about management including detailed medication recommendations. These recommendations may then be implemented by the patient’s family physician/nurse practitioner.

After the Private Adult ADHD Assessment a consultation report will be provided that summarizes symptoms, medical history, educational history, diagnosis and provides details about management including detailed medication recommendations.   A copy of this report is sent to you which you can then share with your family physician/nurse practitioner to begin your ADHD treatment.

If, for any reason, you are dissatisfied with your Adult ADHD Assessment, we guarantee a full refund of your payment.

* Refunds will not be provided solely based on not meeting the diagnostic criteria for ADHD according to the DSM-5. Our assessments are comprehensive to ensure adherence to these criteria.
