Due to the very high volume of requests for ADHD evaluations and increased scrutiny from insurance companies regarding medical necessity, we are scheduling these assessments by referral only. Please speak with your primary care provider, psychiatrist, neurologist, or therapist first about your concerns. You will need to supply the full name and phone number of your referring provider in order to schedule, OR you may have your provider fax the following items to 888-828-2326:
​
1. An order or referral for "Cognitive Testing".
2. Supporting information for medical necessity. This can be a recent visit note or brief letter.
3. Your insurance and basic demographic information so we can reach you.

Please note: If you prefer to self-pay, you do not need a referral and can call the office directly to schedule.
