How do I get an appointment for an adult ADHD Assessment?
The first step is to go to a primary healthcare provider and ask for a referral to my service. Primary healthcare providers include family physicians and nurse practitioners. They work in a few different settings such as Family Medicine Clinics, Walk-in Clinics, Urgent and Primary Care Clinics, and Online Clinics. Your primary healthcare provider must provide a complete referral and then fax it to my office. Please see the Referral Information for important details about services offered at my office, including the Referral Form for consideration.
Note: Services do NOT include disability tax form completion, assessment/treatment for Autism or other mental health conditions.
How long will I have to wait to get an appointment for our telehealth meeting?
The wait-time for an appointment depends on a few variables such as; my office receiving the referral from your primary healthcare provider - complete with your email address, your return of the Online Assessment Form, your availability, and my office appointment availably. Presently, the first appointment is approximately 2 to 4 weeks after my office receives your completed Online Assessment Form.
What is the status of my referral?
At Referral Status you will find the instructions to learn the status of your referral.
What are my Adult ADHD treatment options?
At Treating Adult ADHD you will find all the information and resources for managing Adult ADHD.
Do you provide ongoing treatment?
Simply put, there are not enough healthcare professionals offering timely and affordable adult ADHD assessments or treatment recommendations. As a result adult ADHD is underrecognized, underdiagnosed, and undertreated. In order to meet this demand, my services include adult ADHD assessments and I collaborate with your primary healthcare provider so that they can directly provide you with specialized services and I can devote my clinical time to addressing this unmet demand. Having said all that, if you require a reassessment, your primary healthcare provider can refer you again - after six months - for another meeting. You will once again need to complete a form prior to our meeting, but this reassessment form is much less involved and is easier to complete.
Are their any resources for College and University students in British Columbia?
Most postsecondary institutions in British Columbia have a "Centre for Accessible Learning" to assist with resources for adults diagnosed with ADHD. Here are a few local resource centres: UBC, SFU, BCIT, VIU, Royal Roads University, Camosun College and University of Victoria. In general, these centres help with the process of obtaining academic accommodations and financial support. Theses services first require that you provide their office with "documentation of disability." For academic accommodations, this documentation is usually the Verification of Mental Health Disorder form. Requesting financial support usually begins with the Appendix 8 form which can be downloaded from StudentAidBC. Together with the ADHD consultation report sent from my office, your referring primary healthcare provider has all the information required to assist you in completing these forms.
How much do these services cost?
NO COST, as I am a medical specialist and your BC provincial insurance plan (MSP) pays for the service.
