ADULT ADHD ASSESSMENT

Comprehensive Adult ADHD Assessments with treatment planning are available to residents of British Columbia. All patients are first referred by a primary healthcare provider. Then, after completing a confidential online assessment form, we meet via telehealth for your assessment. After the assessment, the referring primary healthcare provider receives a detailed consultation report with treatment recommendations. Given the high demand for psychiatrists, Dr. Emes does not directly provide ongoing care, instead he collaborates with the referring primary healthcare provider (or clinic) to ensure patients receive the specialized treatment and support. The cost of this service is covered under the provincial medical insurance plan, so patients do not have to pay any additional fees.
