What should a new client know about working with you?
Dear Valued Patients, We maintain the highest standards expected of a medical practice and understand that our meticulous approach might results in few one star reviews. So, here in is our ADHD Diagnosis and Treatment Policy at The Fountain Group LLC
We're dedicated to high-quality care, particularly in diagnosing and treating ADHD, a complex neurobiological disorder. Our comprehensive ADHD evaluation extends beyond initial consultations, involving multiple sessions to thoroughly examine developmental history, academic records (including IEPs), work performance, various ratings scales, previous evaluations, and neurocognitive testing (may include others).
We do not automatically accept external ADHD diagnoses unless they result from similar rigorous assessments. Should we consider such evaluations, reviewing these records may incur additional costs. A simple rating scale completion is not sufficient for an ADHD diagnosis at our facility.
Our services, grounded in expertise and time, do not guarantee diagnosis or medication unless absolutely necessary. We adhere strictly to standard care guidelines, prescribing medication dosages as recommended by literature, manufacturers, and governing boards, except in rare, medically necessary cases.
We maintain a strict stance against misuse of controlled substances and report suspicious activities to authorities. Our commitment to the highest medical standards may not meet all expectations, but we welcome those ready to invest the necessary effort and resources for a clear, evidence-based diagnosis.
