Expert Care for Your Child's Unique Needs
“Maybe the journey isn’t so much about becoming anything.
Maybe it’s about un-becoming everything that isn’t really you, so you can be who you were meant to be in the first place.” Paulo Coelho
About my Practice
As a responsible Doctor, I make sure patients have time to get to know me and my professional background so they’ll feel comfortable with their care choice.
Through a holistic approach I view each patient as a whole rather than a single symptom to be treated. I’m dedicated to building long-lasting relationships based on trust and medical integrity with every single patient.
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.
My assessments and reports adhere to the highest standards set by NICE and local NHS ADHD services. Please note that the acceptance of a private diagnosis by local NHS services may vary, so please check yourself.
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.
I understand that each child's journey is unique, and my goal is to empower families by offering invaluable insights and support to navigate these challenges.
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.
Comprehensive Neurodevelopmental Service
Liverpool and Birmingham Clinics
ADHD Assessment: £750 + cost of QbTest
Age range: 6 - 18th birthday
Child focused and holistic assessment.
This includes a neurodevelopmental + physical + mental health screen; review and scoring of all reports from parent and teacher including rating scales and QbTest; physical exam, detailed report, and if indicated first prescription.
All initial appointments are in person but subsequents can be via video. I do not offer online assessments (Read More).
For an ADHD assessment I always insist on a QbTest being performed. This will need to be done before the first appointment (Read More). You can get a QbTest at GMG or ADHD Foundation. Contact them directly.
If you are not sure regarding a formal assessment consider a General Consultation first.
After you have booked a QbTest, please contact me directly so that I can share the pre-clinic questionnaires and explain how to book an assessment appointment. admin@manchesterpaediatrician.com
ADHD Diagnosed Elsewhere: Medication Consultation £400
Consultation for any young person with an established ADHD diagnosis from elsewhere where medication is now being considered.
Please note I will need to review the diagnostic reports and agree with the diagnosis before agreeing to medication. Email me if you want to discuss first.
Autism Screening Assessment £400
Age range: 0 - 18th birthday
Neurodevelopmental screening assessment to determine likelihood of autism, upon which recommendations regarding a formal diagnostic assessment can be made.

General Consultation £400
Ideal if you just want to discuss any concerns regarding your child’s development, behaviour, emotional wellbeing or sleep. No formal assessments.
You will receive a summary clinic letter. You can then decide whether to proceed to more formal assessments if required. If you do, then £400 can be deducted from the price of the formal assessment.

Further information regarding costs
Please note that assessments for ADHD and other neurodevelopmental conditions are very time and resource intensive. These conditions overlap in many cases and require significant expertise in assessment.
The ADHD Foundation complete their own detailed screening assessment before referring to myself which reduces the cost to see me. Otherwise for all self-referrals I start from scratch, request / gather /interpret all the necessary questionnaires, rating scales and QbTest as well as a 90 minute consultation.
I do not charge for issuing prescriptions following an appointment and the medication review appointments are only £150.
