[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Has anyone tried the following two places for assessment?  They seem to accept insurance.

Op I've never heard of either.  That said, Dr.Smith from the mybraindoc place is a psychiatrist, not psychologist.  Psychiatrists are medical doctors, they do therapy and prescribe medication.  They do not do evaluations - not the ones I know of at least. And not from all that I have read and experienced over the last 10 years of being in the ADHD world.

A psychologist is what you want to see when getting a neuropsych evaluation, not a medical doctor.

The place in G'Burg on the other hand has only Psychologists, that is who I would go to in a heartbeat of the brain doc guy.[/quote]

OP here, actually I got to the brain doc site because there is a guy there Dr. Paul Frey, who is a clinical psychologist that takes my insurance.  I'm not sure why his info doesn't appear on the website.[/quote]

Haven't heard of Paul Frey either.  Google shows very little info on the guy.  Honestly I would go to the group in Gaithersburg. My son is 13 and has had 3 evaluations so I know what to look for, and the group in G'Burg seems to have more to offer.  I am basing that just on their website, but the fact that they have a number of psychologists to choose from is already a positive in my opinion.  [/quote]
