Dr Islam was very professional and understanding throughout my ADHD assessment. He made me feel comfortable speaking openly, listened carefully, and explained things in a clear and reassuring way. It really felt like he understood ADHD and the challenges that come with it. I had a very positive experience and would definitely recommend him.

Dr Islam Heliel performed my ASD/ADHD assessment where he was compassionate, understanding and professional. He has helped me with my medication titration, which was the purpose of my last visit, where he takes a cation first approach with dosages and ongoing monitoring of my health which has helped ensure my wellbeing throughout titration (ongoing). He explains everything in easy to understand language and takes the time to listen to what I have to say. I would highly recommend him to anyone seeking help with their Neurodiverse assessment and ongoing medication needs.
