I am upgrading this review from 1 star to 4 stars. After spending some time considering the outcome of the testing and getting a second opinion on the report from a third=party professional, the approach and recommendations are solid, even if I didn't like them in the beginning and still don't today. If you do go through the effort of having a neuropsychological exam done, be sure to fully understand what is being presented before making a decision on the experience.
These kind folks render excellent testing and brain health guidance. Heartedly recommend their care. πͺπ
I had an appointment for an adhd evaluation here in October of 2021. My report was written as I was malingering, reluctant to talk therapy, and seeking pills. Among other irrelevant determinations such as saying Iβm left handed (not true) and that I have a lower than average IQ. (Let me add the ethical issues with IQ tests starting with its root in racism and itβs high flaw rate in ableism). The determination was that I did not have adhd but was exaggerating and faking. Reading this report that took an extra month (I was told 4 weeks and it took 8) to receive for me and my doctor than originally told, put me in distress. I was medically gaslit by a provider that had only just met me that day and signed off by another provider I never saw. I did later get diagnosed with adhd by two other separate providers and am thriving on medication and other forms of therapy and coping mechanisms. Itβs worth mentioning the doctor who evaluated me was Blanca caro.
I had a wonderful experience with the provider and tester however to get a reply on results or next steps or actions is impossible. I have left multiple messages since they do not answer their phone and am very disappointed. No return calls and left in the dark to worry!
