When we have an enquiry, we send out new patient information and a consent forms. We require these before we can prceed. Once we have completed the initial admin and registration of a new patient we offer assessment appointments within 3-4 weeks -sometimes sooner. Dr Agrawal provides extra clinics to keep wait times to a minimum for our ADHD clinic.

All patients are welcome also to attend our office where we have a private Telehealth Consultation room and we will ensure you can connect to your appointment privately and easily, if your clincian is working remotely. Where telehealth appointments are not possible we offer face to face services.
If I have already been diagnosed previously and just want treatment, why do I have to see a clinician for another assessment?
We have developed our ADHD Clinic process to ensure the quality of assessment and our subsequent treatment plans. We have a professional responsibility to ensure a thorough and appropriate assessment precedes any treatment planning. We have worked hard to develop our clinic process to ensure we can provide individually tailored, appropriate and suppotive care.
