Prior to my consultation, the process from booking an appointment to receiving and completing the paperwork for the appointment couldn't have been easier. Any questions I had were answered promptly and professionally. I was sent reminders for the appointment (which for this type of assessment was essential for me), and the paperwork is easy to understand and fill out online. During my ADHD consultation with Dr Francesca Fatteri I was made to feel instantly comfortable and at ease. During the entire consulation, Dr Fatteri explained various aspects of the diagnosis along with the semi-structured interview (which was completely relaxed, open and not rushed) and allowed me time to discuss the troubles I was having and how they were affecting my life, both currently and in the past. Upon diagnosis of the disorder, Dr Fatteri provided information on the many different aspects of treatment available and how my current needs fit in with that process, and assured me of the next steps and how we were going to proceed with titration etc. Given the general stigma attached to ADHD as a disorder by the general public, I feel that the process from start to finish was equally professional and welcoming, with an emphasis on you as a person rather than you as a "number" or "problem" which unfortunately is the way in which people can sometimes be treated when discussing a potential diagnosis with GPs or friends/relatives. Thank you once again Dr Fatteri and Berkeley Psychiatrists for providing me with an easy to process approach to the diagnosis and also to the steps I'm now taking to changing my life for the better.

I picked the online meeting with Dr Francesca Fatteri, from the outset I was made to feel very comfortable and most of all I felt heard and listened to. I would really recommend Dr Francesca Fatteri and Berkeley Psychiatrists. I can't explain the relief after my meeting and the after has been so brilliant. I wouldn't change any part of my experience.
