ADHD Evaluations
Your Doctor Wants Testing Before She’ll Write Anything
She wants a document.
So the thing you hoped to settle in a 15-minute appointment came back to you as a referral instead.
Or nobody referred you at all.
You’ve been building the case yourself out of articles, forum threads, and other people’s symptom lists.
The theory is good by now.
Confirming it is the part you can’t do from your side.
What You’re Describing Is Hard
It got harder when the job and the children arrived at the same time.
Nobody tested you as a girl. This gets missed in high-achieving girls.
Wanting the name of the thing is reason enough to come in.
Dr. Medley Hands You the Report Herself
Every ADHD evaluation at Sageberry is conducted by Dr. Medley, from intake through the final appointment.
That last appointment is an hour with the finished report open in front of both of you. She goes through it in plain English, at whatever pace it takes for you to say it back in your own words.
Then it’s yours to hand to the people who have been asking you for it.
Your Report Has Work to Do After You Leave
- Your doctor gets the formal testing she required, with the competing explanations ruled out in writing rather than assumed away.
- Your child’s school gets findings specific enough to build a plan around.
- Your therapist gets an accurate target instead of a working guess, whether that’s Dr. Brent Powell or Jeremiah Andrews here at Sageberry, or somebody you already see.
- You get one explanation that covers the parts of your history that never added up separately.
Dr. Medley doesn’t provide counseling.
Bring Your Child, Your Teenager, or Yourself
Dr. Medley evaluates children, teens, and adults. Children and teens test in the New Albany office, always.
For them, the intake is mostly with you because early developmental history is where the pattern first shows itself.
Adults are tested in the office or via video.
Virtual adult ADHD testing is available in most states.
Some people arrive with an attention question and an autism question attached to each other.
Bring both.
Plan on Three to Four Weeks
Intake to feedback runs three to four weeks when your carrier requires prior authorization.
Without that requirement, it moves considerably faster.
The first opening is about a month out.
Your Next Appointment With Your Doctor Is a Short One
She has the testing she asked for.
Nobody is waiting for you to prove something about yourself inside a 15-minute slot.
And the case you built yourself out of reading on the Internet is closed.
The finding is written down, and it has your name on it.
Quit Building the Case Alone
The consultation costs nothing and takes 15 minutes.
Tell us what’s been going on.
You’ll leave that call knowing whether an ADHD evaluation is the right one to run.
