📋 After Your Referral: Step by Step

1️⃣ Referral received

Once we receive your referral, you will receive an acceptance or decline notification. We try to accept as many individuals as possible within clinic capacity.

If accepted, you’ll receive a registration link to complete your initial intake forms.

We recommend reviewing our website in advance so you know what to expect.

2️⃣ First visit with Dr. Motamedi (20 minutes)

Your first appointment is typically a 20-minute phone or video visit with Dr. Motamedi to:

Review your referral
Clarify your goals
Decide on the most appropriate assessment pathway

If you already have a documented ADHD diagnosis, you may be eligible for physician-led clinical assessment (MSP-covered).

If diagnostic clarification is needed, psychometric assessment (private-pay) may be recommended.

3️⃣ Questionnaires (when needed)

You may receive:

A small number of PDF questionnaires, or
A secure digital questionnaire package, depending on complexity

Occasionally, questionnaires are not required, and care can move directly to management.

Completing questionnaires promptly helps avoid delays.

4️⃣ Interview scheduling

You’ll receive an email with details about your next appointment, depending on your care pathway.

Psychometric assessment:

Azadeh Rezazadeh, RCC, will contact you to schedule a ~2-hour Zoom interview (with breaks and flexible timing).
Physician-led assessment:

Your appointment will be scheduled directly with Dr. Motamedi (secure video).

5️⃣ Review, diagnosis & next steps

Regardless of pathway, Dr. Motamedi reviews all information, discusses a working diagnosis, and reviews treatment options. Diagnoses may evolve over time.

6️⃣ Follow-up care

Most follow-up visits are brief (often ~10 minutes), when clinically appropriate, and conducted by secure video, focusing on:

Monitoring symptoms
Medication response (if prescribed)
Adjusting the care plan as needed </aside>
