What does it mean to have a bad experience with a neuropsych? The testing itself? Or you didn't like the results?

We used Dr. Leslie Hawkins at Mindwell twice and feel the reports were accurate for our son.

What happened? Never heard negative reviews from Mindwell.

PP’s comment is quite literally the first negative thing I’ve seen about Mindwell.

But for anyone wanting names, we’ve used Dr. Varia there, she’s been fantastic.

We also had a bad experience at Mindwell. I think our evaluator was Pam Smith. She seemed to think our daughter had almost no issues, when we and her teachers clearly knew something was going on. Her report was ADHD and anxiety, for which "you could work with someone or not." Daughter's therapist was shocked that she had not been diagnosed as ASD and called the tester for clarification and wasn't satisfied with the answer the tester gave. A couple of years later we got a new therapist whose reaction was "how did they miss this?" She has since had other questionable reports from Mindwell and no longer recommends them.
