I sought out Dr Mohiuddin after first being referred to Psychiatry-UK for an ADHD assessment as an NHS patient. After several months on their waiting list, and then being advised they didn't actually know how many months longer it could be before I got an appointment, I decided to go private. My 17 year old daughter had recently been diagnosed and it was pretty clear we had many symptoms in common. I did lots of research and the reasonable cost as well as the excellent reviews persuaded me to try Iqbal. I have to say I am very happy I did, both him and Pam have been supportive, patient and professional. I received my diagnosis and Iqbal has titrated me through the medications. This isn't a quick or easy process and can be very frustrating, if not disheartening at times. However, we eventually settled on medication that worked best for me and it's been a huge help in terms of focus and motivation. I really feel it will make a big difference for me going forward. I strongly advise anyone getting a private diagnosis for ADHD to maybe get something in writing from their GP about their intention to support Shared Care. Iqbal and Pam will remind you to do this anyway but it is really important. My GP surgery has been inconsistent in their support - having first agreed that they would enter into a Shared Care Agreement they then denied it - I believe this was because my surgery amalgamated with another large one during this time and their policies changed. My prescription is very expensive to fund privately - not everyone's will necessarily cost so much though - it's just something to bear in mind.
