About my Practice
Important to mention that I’m not a business. It’s just me and I deliberately run a small clinic so that you will always see me with all reports written by me.
My philosophy is not business but to provide expert and honest opinion. I understand that your health and wellness concerns extend beyond routine medical care.I’m dedicated to building long-lasting relationships based on trust and medical integrity.
Through a holistic approach I view each child as a whole rather than a single symptom to be treated. As such, I offer a broad and holistic neurodevelopmental assessment and not just focused on ADHD.
Each child's journey is unique, and my goal is to empower families by offering invaluable insights and support to navigate these challenges.
My assessments and reports exceed the standards set by NICE and local NHS services. Please note that the acceptance of a private diagnosis by local NHS services may vary, so please check yourself. Please be aware that I am not a ‘Right to Choose’ provider.
I am registered with the GMC, ICO (data protection) and my regulated activities are conducted with BMP Medical Ltd, a CQC registered organisation
I embrace the neurodiversity represented by the rainbow spectrum infinity symbol, acknowledging the natural diversity in how children's brains function and the untapped potential each child possesses.
But I also believe in the value of a formal diagnosis. Read more.
I accept that I do use terms such as 'condition' and 'disorder' so that my reports are consistent with DSM/ICD terminology. This helps when communicating with other services for additional support and interventions for your child.

I am also happy to be contacted via email if you just want to have a brief chat about whether I am the right specialist to see your child. More about me

Important information re assessment - Please Read LINK
All first appointments are in person but future ones can be via video. I do not offer online assessments (Read More).
For an ADHD assessment I always insist on a QbTest being performed. Read more about QbTest. This will need to be done before the first appointment.
For a Liverpool appointment, you can book / pay for QbTest at Impact Healthcare where my clinic is based LINK. Contact them directly as this is a separate service to mine.
For a Manchester appointment, you can book a QbTest via this website / appointments page.
After you have booked a QbTest, then book an appointment to see me. Please be aware that a parent and teacher questionnaire will need to be completed for the appointment so do allow time. If you are not sure, please email me at admin@manchesterpaediatrician.com
ADHD Treatment Consultation £450
Consultation for any young person with an established ADHD diagnosis where further treatment options including medication are now being considered.
If I have made the diagnosis in past then fee is £250. I will refund £200 after booking / appointment.
I emphasise an evidence based approach to treatment options and not wasting time pursuing treatments or interventions that are not working. This involves having an honest and pragmatic discussion with you as a parent and your child to agree what is important to you.
All first appointments are in person so I can complete a physical exam but future ones can be via video.
Please note I will need to review the diagnostic reports and agree with the diagnosis before agreeing to any treatment. This especially applies if it was an online diagnosis.
Also, unless the child’s ADHD is having a significant impact on their life I will always initially recommend home and school interventions and support before considering medication treatments. Email me if you want to discuss first.
General NeuroDevelopmental Consultation £450
Age range 0-18
If you are not sure regarding a formal assessment or if you just want to discuss any concerns regarding your child’s development, behaviour, emotional wellbeing or sleep. This includes pre-school children with language or social communication delay. These children should always be seen by a Paediatrician before or after other therapists (SLT, OT etc) for a medical and developmental assessment.
The consultation could also be focused on assessing the possibility of autism, upon which recommendations regarding a formal diagnostic assessment can then be made. Please contact me directly so that I can share the pre-clinic questionnaires.
You will receive a summary clinic letter identify your child’s strengths and difficulties/needs. You can then decide whether to proceed to more formal assessments if required.
If you decide regarding an ADHD assessment then £450 can be deducted from the total.
Autism and combined ADHD / Autism Assessments
I do formal diagnostic assessments for ADHD and screen for other neurodevelopmental conditions including autism (how likely it is) but I do not do formal diagnostic assessments for autism as this usually requires a MDT approach.
If you wanted a formal autism or combined ADHD / Autism assessment I would recommend the following private services. I have confidence in the quality of their assessments. My philosophy is not business but honest and expert opinion including supporting you to make the right choice for your child. Links below.
