Her Story
“The Adult ADHD Centre makes it accessible for adults who need help at an affordable price. It does take several months from intake, video assessment, to the final report. They are transparent in their wait times. This is normal for all healthcare providers. In fact, they are actually alot quicker than most healthcare providers, as their are long waitlists. They also have a great website with free resources such as webinars, podcasts, blogs, and general information about ADHD.”

“I can’t speak highly enough about this centre. For years I did not know the name of what I was experiencing until my daughter was diagnosed. When I realized that my life could greatly improve if I had answers and a proper treatment plan, I decided to pursue assessment. I heard about the centre through word of mouth, The response was fast to my initial inquiry. I completed the questionnaires and received my appointment date within 24 hours of returning the completed forms. Four weeks later during my assessment I went over my childhood report cards and how my symptoms have impacted my life. The practical nurse Dominique was very compassionate and her confirmation of my ADHD diagnosis was so validating that I cried. She went through some resources with me and let me know that she would draw up the report and send it to me within four weeks. Bless this centre for helping people live up to their fullest potential.”
