Private ADHD assessment and treatment in Cardiff

An enhanced ADHD assessment at Excel Clinic costs £900. It is a fixed price covering the pre-assessment questionnaire, a two-hour assessment with a consultant psychiatrist, discussion of the outcome and a written report. If you start medication, treatment initiation costs £300, follow-up and titration reviews £200 each, and prescriptions £80 each, plus the cost of the medication.

No. You can refer yourself by completing the enquiry form on this page. With your consent, we will write to your GP about the outcome.

The assessment appointment takes about two hours. Before it, you complete an online pre-assessment questionnaire, which helps Dr Memon prepare.

Yes. Adults can choose an online assessment by secure video call or an in-person assessment at our Cardiff Gate clinic. Young people aged 16 or 17 are assessed in person, with a parent or guardian.

We assess young people from the age of 16. For children under 16, please speak to your GP or school about local child and adolescent services.

Dr Memon will explain his findings, including whether something else may better explain your difficulties, and suggest what support or next steps may help. The assessment fee applies whatever the outcome.

Yes. If you are not sure whether your difficulties are caused by ADHD, you can book a 60-minute psychiatry consultation (£400). If Dr Memon thinks ADHD is likely, he can complete the full assessment in an extra one-hour appointment for £500, so you pay the same £900 in total.

No. Right to Choose is an NHS England scheme and does not apply to patients registered with a GP in Wales. In Wales the options are an NHS assessment through your local health board or a private assessment.

Once your medication is stable, usually after about three months, we can ask your GP to take over prescribing under a shared care agreement. This is your GP’s decision, and not every practice in Wales accepts it. If your GP cannot agree, Dr Memon can continue to prescribe privately.

Each private prescription from Dr Memon costs £80. The medication itself is paid for separately at the pharmacy, and the cost depends on the medicine and dose.

Not usually. You need up-to-date weight, height, pulse and blood pressure readings. An ECG or cardiology opinion is only requested if your medical or family history suggests it.

Many people with ADHD drive safely, including while taking prescribed medication. You must tell the DVLA if your symptoms or treatment affect your ability to drive safely, and you should not drive if medication makes you dizzy, drowsy or less able to concentrate.

Yes. ADHD often presents differently in adulthood, so Dr Memon will review your previous reports as part of an adult assessment. Let us know about your earlier diagnosis on the enquiry form.
