ADHD Diagnostics You Can Rely On
A diagnostic assessment for ADHD involves three main parts:
- gathering a clinical history through an interview with your provider,
- an objective measurement of symptoms remotely, and
- the completion of one or more rating scales.
About Our ADHD Test
Our practice makes use of the QbCheck ADHD assessment. QbCheck is an FDA-cleared test measuring all three core symptom domains; hyperactivity, impulsivity, and inattention. It is used when evaluating ADHD symptoms and measuring response to ADHD treatment. Both the in-clinic and remote version involve a 15 or 20-minute computer-based task that measures your (or your child’s) ability to maintain attention and impulse control. Meanwhile, the webcam built into the laptop tracks movements, and therefore activity, during the test. The results are based on a comparison of your (or your child’s) performance with data from other people of the same sex and age.
What does the test set-up look like?
You can complete the test on a PC or Mac with a built-in webcam. It must meet the minimum specification requirements for the ADHD assessment.
What do ADHD test results look like?
When will I receive my results?
The raw data is available immediately after the test is completed. However, your clinician must first interpret the data together with other relevant information.
Why test for ADHD?
In some cases, feedback can be provided in the same appointment, but sometimes a follow-up appointment will need to be scheduled.
How should I prepare?
- Try to ensure adequate sleep the night before the test.
- Avoid consuming excessive amounts of caffeine the day of the test.
- If you are to be tested while on ADHD medication, please ensure that you take the medication as directed.
- Our practice will schedule the test a specific number of hours after the medication is taken, depending on the type of medication.
- For a child, explain that they will be taking a test on a computer which is designed to be boring.
Why Test for ADHD?
Adding objective ADHD technology can help to…
1. Mitigating gender bias.
2. Shorten time to diagnosis.
3. Capture treatment response not reflected by rating scales

Is ketamine therapy Right for you?
Do you suffer from depression, and common treatment options remain unsuccessful?
Do you want to feel the effects of treatment faster than traditional therapies? Then it's time you consider ketamine therapy.
In 1970, the FDA gave ketamine its seal of approval as an anesthetic. It was used to alleviate pain in injured soldiers on the battlefields of Vietnam.
Now, ketamine has matured to support individual mental health.
Unlock the promise of ketamine therapy today.
A Brief Look at Ketamine Throughout History
Ketamine was discovered in 1962 by Calvin L. Stevens, a professor of chemistry. It quickly proved to act quicker than the leading anesthetic at the time, PCP. The U.S. eventually approved ketamine in the 1970s for anesthetic use during the Vietnam War. As time passed, people began to use it illicitly, and it became a federally controlled substance in 1999.
But despite this classification, researchers remained steadfast, knowing ketamine could unlock the enormous potential for treating several health conditions. Now, after years of extensive research, significant findings show the promise of ketamine to manage various mental health conditions when administered in low doses.
Ketamine is the future of mental health treatment. Unlock it's potential and find the relief you deserve.

Sustained & Long-Term Relief
Combination Therapy with Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS or rTMS) and Ketamine is a safe and highly effective alternative to medications and other forms of therapy and lifestyle changes. When medications, psychotherapy, and lifestyle changes don't help, then transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS therapy) with Ketamine should be considered.
Outpatient Comfortable Care
Our expert staff will put you at ease. While Ketamine has proven to be effective in the treatment of depression, pain, and other mood disorders, this is irrelevant until the FDA classifies the drug as an antidepressant. The good news is, since Ketamine is a "medical expense", we are able to accept payment from HSA and FSA accounts.
