The first meeting was 50mins. I was quite confident about having ADHD and so was he after the standard tests, and he gave a diagnosis and Ritalin order with instructions for finding the right dose. He was efficient and knew I came back the week after for 25mins and we finalized a dose. He is careful about dosage which is important. Another follow-up 3months later.

I am now seeing him when needed, maybe annual unless something comes up. He wanted something more regular but I was unwilling because about the expense; I had to be quite firm about this. The cost for 50mins is about 450GBP, half that for 25mins.

Note that I was well researched in the condition, had evaluated myself and read some of the medical literature on treatments. So it might have taken fewer visits than another case.

In any case I recommend him as someone who will be good at diagnosing and treating ADHD.

Edit: just saw the stuff about sex with patients. Disturbing. Doesn't affect me, I'm paying for a service, but avoid him if you're a woman.

Anyone know of anywhere NHS or private in Scotland?

[Pixelite]

I have tried to contact the Johannes Thome contact in Swansea several times by email on their really poor website, but have never heard anything back. Will try calling them, but not sure what to say?

And when it says 'NHS AND Private', does that mean I can get an appointment with them without a referral from my normal GP and be prescribed on NHS?

Does anyone know of any private clinics in South Wales that will assess adult ADD?

I'm having no luck with the NHS in Rhondda Cynon Taf so rather than spend months or longer fighting I'm going to go private. This is a stretch for me but really think it will be worth it.

All of the names and locations I've read in online forums have led to dead ends.

I've tried Sancta Maria Hospital, BUPA and they're no go.

I've spoken to the Dyscovery Centre in Newport. They're very helpful but expensive. I'm currently looking at being assessed in Bristol. Even with the time and travelling they'll work out substantially cheaper for me.

Ideally I'd like to use a South wales clinic if an affordable one exists.

Has anyone been assessed privately in South Wales recently?

With thanks
