Dr Upadhya is exceptionally professional. What stands out most is how well they listen; they take the time to fully understand your perspective and ensure every detail is addressed. I would highly recommend them because of their attentive approach and high level of professionalism

I really would not recommend the ADHD Centre AT ALL. My first assessment was led by a psychiatrist who came across as completely disinterested and, in my experience, had an outdated understanding of ADHD, particularly how it can present in women and how symptoms can be masked or internalised. The assessment was a very negative experience. I became overwhelmed by the sheer number of questions being thrown at me, but this was largely ignored. He didn’t appear to have read the extensive forms that I had completed beforehand, explained very little, and when I struggled to answer a question about my childhood, responded: “Well, if you don’t know, I don’t know either.” The administration was equally frustrating. I was repeatedly chased for old school reports despite explaining several times that I no longer had them, and no one seemed to record the information I provided. My eventual report was littered with mistakes and, more seriously, contained private information about third parties that I had specifically asked not to be included. The psychiatrist had agreed to this and told me I could request information to be removed, but subsequently refused to make amendments to the report. I complained to the ADHD Centre and, after investigating, they apologised and offered me a reassessment. So I went through the entire process for a second time. The shared-care issue has been even more frustrating. Before paying for a private assessment, I expressly asked about shared care and was told that most GPs, although not all, would accept it. That has not been my experience. My GP surgery will not accept private ADHD shared care, and my GP has since told me that the majority of GPs now do not accept these arrangements, partly because of the rapid increase in ADHD assessments and concerns about the quality of some private assessments. I have been unable to find a GP in my borough willing to accept one. Had I been given an accurate and up-to-date picture when I specifically asked, I would not have chosen this route. After paying privately and going through two assessments, I am now having to undergo a THIRD assessment through Right to Choose to access treatment through a route my GP surgery will accept. Finally, having now experienced the assessment process with a different clinic - and completed an adult ADHD informant form for a friend - I can see just how poor the ADHD Centre’s system is by comparison. You are sent around eight lengthy forms asking for an enormous amount of information, much of which forms the basis of the final report. The assessment is recorded and, given the apparent use of AI alongside the information already supplied, it can feel as though you are doing a significant amount of the work yourself. The forms are sent separately by email, all look virtually identical and disappear once submitted. There is no proper portal where you can see what you’ve completed, what remains outstanding or review your responses. For a service specifically designed for people with ADHD, asking patients to keep track of numerous lengthy forms scattered across separate emails seems particularly poorly thought through. The whole experience was exhausting, frustrating and unnecessarily stressful.

I had a great experience with arranging an assessment via the ADHD Centre, where I saw Dr Kalafatis. Booking an appointment online was very easy and the team were very responsive, with regards to my follow-up emails and queries. I could not speak more highly of Dr Kalafatis, who was very understanding and reassuring right from the start of my assessment. The service he provided was excellent: he put me ease right away, his communication was very good, he explained the assessment process and the next steps in a very clear way, and he was very attentive to what I shared. I was very satisfied with my appointment and highly recommend Dr Kalafatis for anyone looking for an ADHD assessment and support.

I was examined by Dr Ahmed Zadeh. I have been stressing over an examination for years, I have been seeking a diagnosis, and have even once been scammed by a place, being told my examiner was not qualified to diagnose and would have to pay for a second appointment. Anyone who has tried to get examined should know how fatiguing the process is, there are places that want to charge monthly for what should be a 1 or just a few appointments, places that will not allow you to be medicated by other places, even the NHS, and then charge a fortune for medication, it feels like everyone just wants your money and will string you along in every way possible. I booked an examination the day before my appointment, the exam took just 60 minutes. I struggle to understand basic things often, but clear and concise clarifications were given where needed. I have been burnt out thinking about this for so long, its nice to finally have the weight off my shoulders.

The ADHD Centre provided me with the help I desperately needed and I am grateful that my life looks very different now following my late diagnosis at age 44. Dr Upadhyay is very professional and methodical as well as being warm and friendly. She continued to support me when the NHS was unable to prescribe my medication. Dr Upadhyay is an experienced and knowledgeable clinician and I am very happy to have her as my consultant. I am not leaving a 5-star review because at times I have had minor communication issues with admin at the ADHD Centre, leading to medication not being prescribed in a timely way, which was stressful for me. The cost of treatment also mounts up very quickly, which is something to bear in mind when seeking private assessment/treatment for ADHD.
