I attended an ADHD assessment with Dr Christopher Lee and found the experience to be very disappointing and not reflective of a proper, structured evaluation. Within the first 10 minutes of the consultation, the focus shifted away from assessment and toward criticism of my university and career choices. I was told I did not seem committed or passionate and was questioned about whether I should continue university. This felt inappropriate and unrelated, as I was there specifically for an ADHD assessment, not career judgement. The session itself did not follow a structured ADHD evaluation. My symptoms were not explored in depth, I was not guided through my history, and no clear diagnostic framework or reasoning was explained. When I became nervous and struggled to communicate, I was not supported. instead I felt talked over and dismissed. As the consultation progressed, I found myself shutting down and giving shorter answers due to how uncomfortable the interaction had become. No clear explanation was provided for the conclusion that I do not have ADHD, which is concerning given the limited exploration of my symptoms. I am now undergoing further assessment elsewhere for ADHD and autism, which makes the lack of depth in this consultation particularly troubling. I was also uncomfortable with how information from the consultation appeared to be shared immediately after I left, which raised concerns for me around confidentiality and professionalism. Given that ADHD can present differently in women, including masking and internalised symptoms, I did not feel these factors were considered during the assessment. Overall, this did not feel like a thorough or patient-centred ADHD assessment. The experience was dismissive, unstructured, and left me feeling unsupported. Additionally, no questionnaires or standardised screening tools were administered during the consultation, which I understand to be a standard part of any thorough ADHD assessment. I would like to note that the clinic manager was excellent, she was professional, kind, and handled my concerns with care and efficiency. A full refund was issued promptly. My concerns are specific to this consultation and do not reflect the clinic's administrative team, who were a credit to the practice.

This review is for Dr Lindsay Allet. Looking back, I have significant concerns about the diagnostic process and the medications that were prescribed to me, including seroquel, which was prescribed during my first appointment with him, and lamotrigine, which was prescribed later on top of the seroquel. During an appointment, I recall Dr Allet saying that he had a female patient who was constantly annoyed or triggered by her partner and that, after starting lamotrigine, she was no longer annoyed. I found this comment unprofessional and concerning in the context of my care. Overall, my experience left me questioning whether the assessment and prescribing approach were appropriate for my situation.

My friend (who I will choose to remain anonymous) recently went for an appointment with Dr.Raymond Wu, who specialises in ADHD, was incredibly rude and unprofessional to a friend who I was with for the appointment . He taunted her saying how dumb she was (she has an intellectual disability, mild ) he also criticised her weight even tho she was not there for a weight analysis as part of her booking . The final thing that happened was that a few back Dr.Wu diagnosed her a few years back ADHD and then said that he never diagnosed her nor does she have ADHD. He has also medicated her for this in the past. Very concerning and I do not recommend as I do not want this to happen to anyone else.

My experience with Dr Christopher Lee was deeply disappointing and unsafe. I was uptitrated (extremely slowly) to 200mg of quetiapine. When I reported that it helped briefly for a few days before stopping, I was told it was “in my head it couldn’t possibly work that quick” rather than having my treatment properly reviewed or adjusted when I told him I was becoming suicidal. He put his hands up and said he couldn’t help me anymore, didn’t even charge me the appointment which is fortunate because I would not have paid anyway. Even at my first appointment I came in close to crisis and it took 3 weeks to get any medication to attempt some relief so I could function. I left my last appointment and went straight to ED, waited 7 hours and once seen they were shocked by the lack of care. Mental health care requires listening, validation, and appropriate follow-up. Unfortunately, this was not provided in my case.
