Berkeley Psychiatrists Avis 

After waiting nearly 2 years for an nhs referral for an adhd assessment my dr suggested right to choose. They said they had used this service before. Within 2 months I had my assessment and 2 weeks after got my prescription. I am still closely monitored till I have my correct dosage.
All the people I have been in contact with at Berkeley psychiatrist have been really nice and helpful and I can contact someone whenever I feel I need too

Great service.

Staff are friendly, listen well, and are patient and understand what I am going through. I felt heard and respected every step of the way.

Very clear and thorough during our appointment. While I did ramble and go slightly off track Dr Anudha Dutta would gently bring the conversation back to the questions asked. Patient and understanding when explaining difficulties and life events. Highly recommend this service, while not cheap it's been worth it after being on NHS wait list for over 3 years and still not hearing anything from them.

Dr Hearfield listened and made me feel comfortable despite my anxieties about the assessment.

I spoke to a very polite and friendly Dr, She took the time to reassure me whilst asserting a lot of the troubles I’ve been struggling with my whole life,

Good overall experience with right to choose adhd assessment. There was a few hiccups with info not being passed on with regards to what I needed to bring to appointments & also how to book follow ups. I spoke to the team & they sorted it out for me so no big deal!

Answered my only questions before I had asked them

professional service, highly recommended

Really good experience. Felt heard and supported and understood. Really pleased that the person I spoke to made the experience feel easy and reassuring. Would recommend.

My daughter found the psychiatrist very easy to talk to and was made to feel completely comfortable throughout her assessment.

All stages were explained to us informatively.

Lovely and empathetic staff, easy to book.

I went through the right to choose path, so far it has been a very smooth experience. Appointments are timely, appointment reminders (very helpful), available to ask reception any question prior to appointment, online and video chats makes things much easier for me personally. Would highly recommend using this route. Staff have been friendly and informative, and the service has been easy to use. Highly recommend.

doctor was very helpful

Really happy with the service I received I was nervous going into the assessment but Dr Roma Paul put me at ease straight away it was a very thorough assessment and felt confident that the outcome was accurate.

Great with communication, easy to get hold of etc and very polite/friendly.

No judgement professional and accommodating quick at responding if any issues would definitely recommend

I did a fair amount of research before selecting Berkeley Psychiatrists through Right to Choose, as I have friends who have struggled with incredibly long wait times, titration delays, and unhelpful clinicians when using other RTC providers. Having now gone through most of the ADHD assessment process, I'm very happy with the choice I made. I waited about 1 month between seeing my GP for a referral and being contacted by Berkeley Psychiatrists. I was then able to book my assessment for 2 weeks after that date. The assessment itself went very smoothly, the psychiatrist was understanding, and I received my ADHD diagnosis. I was then able to book in to start titration within a week of receiving the diagnosis (I know friends with other providers who waited over a year between diagnosis and titration). The titration appointments have also been excellent, with clear explanations of what to expect. Since my resting pulse is a bit low, they want to run an ECG as a precaution, which has slowed things down a bit, but honestly not much. I just received the appointment for the ECG today, 1 week after the titration assessment, with the appointment scheduled for 3 weeks time at a clinic that is a 20 minute drive of my house. While my titration process is not yet complete, my experience so far has been very positive, and I don't anticipate any issues once the ECG is complete.

Wait time was fairly quick.
Whole booking experience was super easy.
Consultant was really nice and made me feel comfortable throughout the whole assessment.
