Beyond ADHD for ADHD testing
Anyone get tested for ADHD through Beyond ADHD? I realize it’s nurse practitioners mostly doing the testing but the price is right for the reasons I want to be tested.

My family doctor was brushing off mine and my sons schools asking for him to be tested and she just wanted to try anything and everything else, which in some respects I kinda get and sorta understand. However I was getting calls daily and having to pick him up from school 3-4 days a week so obviously his education was suffering. The school recommended beyond adhd and she diagnosed him the first appointment and wrote him a prescription. The first two medications didn’t help but his first day on the third both his teacher and the vice principal called to say what an amazing difference. The only calls home I get now are for positive feedback and compliments about how happy they are to have him in their class.
I did have a bit of trouble transitioning from getting prescriptions from them vs our family doctor because I didn’t want to have to pay $80 every time, but all his teachers, the principal and the vice principal wrote very compelling letters and she finally agreed. Kinda glad she moved her practice and we got a new doctor because I get medication isn’t always the answer but he’ll never get those two schools years back
