Don’t wait as long as I did

Could not give a higher score / recommend Dr Rahman and the ADHD Centre more strongly. The process prior to the assessment was easy to complete. After years of trying to understand patterns of behaviour and ways of thinking via numerous therapists (and at great expense) Dr Rahman was able to give me a better understanding of all this in not long over an hour. Very personable and made every bit of what I think is a very complicated subject easy to understand and digest.

The ADHD Centre provided me with an efficient and professional service throughout my diagnosis and prescribed medicine to me before the NHS had even added me to their waiting list. They were easily accessible and I feel that the service is good value for money. Thank you very much Dr Rahman for being understanding and effective throughout our correspondence.
