Great - Dr Baker was very helpful and thorough
5
Dr Baker was so lovely, she really enabled me to understand every question, and the reason why she was asking. She ensured that having ADHD is not a bad thing, she gave me a clear understanding of what I can do without medication to help me manage day-to-day tasks better. Really fortunate to have her be the one diagnosing me, as I had so much trust in the way in which she assessed me.
