I found Dr Hearfield to be extremely personable, whilst remaining professional. With her relatable manner, coupled with her expertise allowed me to feel at ease whilst ascertaining all relevant facts to our consultation. I always felt as if I was involved in the consultation and that I had full input into a future treatment plan. She went above and beyond in providing me with additional support network resources.

Dr Hollie Hearfield was very helpful and understanding during my adult ASD assessment, taking the time to listen to my responses and answering all my questions in detail. After the assessment she went through her diagnosis thoroughly ensuring I fully understood and provided me with detailed information on my next steps and treatments. I would recommend an assessment with Dr Hearfield to anyone.
