I cannot recommend Dr. Iqbal highly enough. My original ADHD diagnosis was actually done by a different psychiatry service, but I had some issues with them, so I hunted around for an alternative treatment provider, and happened upon IamPsychiatry.
I'm so glad I did!
The difference was like night and day. Obviously I had to be reassessed before Dr. Iqbal could treat me, but the wait for an appointment was much shorter than at most other ADHD clinics, and everything went very smoothly.
Dr. Iqbal immediately put me at ease, and I felt heard and understood, which was a fairly rare experience for me with previous clinicians! He takes time to listen to your concerns, and works with you to find the right treatment path that *you* need, understanding that all patients are different, with different bodies and brains. He also offers a more holistic approach, taking diet and other environmental factors into consideration and discussing those with you in addition to prescribing medication.
The cherry on top was when he was able to help me set up a shared care agreement with my GP – an outcome which can be drawn out, complicated, and not always attainable, especially if your initial diagnosis was made by a private ADHD specialist. My situation was no different, and the process wasn't completely without hurdles, but Dr. Iqbal went above and beyond to help me, and we got there in the end!
Communication is efficient and friendly – Dr. Iqbal's amazing secretary, Pam, responds quickly and kindly, and since the admin team were the main reason why I moved on from my previous ADHD clinic, that was super important to me.
All in all, I would recommend IamPsychiatry to anyone who thinks they might have ADHD, who needs an assessment but doesn't want to wait months or even years, or who needs to speak to a psychiatrist for any other reason (Dr. Iqbal also helped me with an anxiety issue).
I have been recommending them to anyone who's asked... it's just taken me a little while to get around to writing this review. lol
