Seeking recommendations for Child Psychiatrist - Upper NW or MoCo

[Anonymous]

We are seeking a consultation with child psychiatrist for my 14 yo daughter. She was diagnosed with ADHD at 7, and has been working with a psychologist, executive coach, etc. to address it. Until now, that has worked just fine. But, since she has entered HS, she is finding it increasingly hard to focus. Additionally, we have been a big uptick in anxiety. In consultation with her psychologist, we have decided that it would make sense to consult with a psychiatrist and explore the possibility of medicine to address this (in addition to the continued therapy with her psychologist). Unfortunately, the two referrals we received are both not accepting new patients (Dr. Robyn Wechsler and Dr. Joseph Hochheiser). Do other people have recommendations? Thanks in advance.

Dr. Miriam G. Bloom in Rockville, excellent psychiatrist and very patient with families. She doesn't take insurance so you would need to pay her and file an out of network claims. Highly recommend her.

Khendra Peay is good. She’s on Wisconsin Avenue near Chevy Chase/Mazza Gallery. Also doesn’t take insurance.

We had a different experience. Would not recommend.

The psychiatrists at the Ross Center are terrific. They don’t take insurance but your insurance might reimburse if you have out of network benefits.

We like Otema Adade at Ross, and I think she's recently added hours, so maybe she's taking new patients.
