Had a great experience with Dr Pietrak, he was understanding and took the time to explain the different treatment options, medication types and reviewing symptoms for the best dosage.

Dr Pietrak was incredibly supportive, understanding and kind during my assessment. I had anxiety around whether I was just being stupid for having an ADHD assessment at 32, and he immediately calmed my anxiety and validated the concerns both myself and my GP had about me. He was incredibly kind when I became overwhelmed and upset when he confirmed my diagnosis, and for someone who must see thousands of patients each year, I felt very supported, validated and the assessment was focused on me and my well being. It was really nice to not feel like just another number. The support continued via the Patient Portal and Dr Pietrak assured me that no question was 'too stupid' as I had feared. I am incredibly grateful for his support throughout this process. Thank you.
