ADHD Diagnostic Services
Understand the pattern, not just the symptoms
Comprehensive ADHD evaluation for children, adolescents, and adults with Dr. Nabilla Porbandarwalla, a double board-certified child, adolescent, and adult psychiatrist.
Could It Be ADHD?
When effort is not translating into consistency
ADHD is not simply a lack of focus or willpower. The pattern can look different across ages, settings, and stages of life.
02
Time & organization
Missing deadlines, misplacing essentials, underestimating time, or feeling overwhelmed by routine planning.
03
Restlessness & impulsivity
Feeling internally driven, interrupting, acting before thinking, or finding quiet activities unusually difficult.
04
Uneven performance
Doing very well when interested but struggling with repetitive work, transitions, or tasks requiring sustained effort.
ADHD is one possible explanation—not the only one.
Anxiety, depression, trauma, sleep problems, learning differences, substance use, medication effects, and medical conditions can create similar symptoms. A careful evaluation looks at the whole picture.
A Comprehensive Evaluation
Diagnosis is more than a questionnaire or computer test
Dr. P integrates your symptoms with developmental, medical, psychiatric, family, school, and work history. The goal is not to force every attention concern into an ADHD label—it is to understand what is driving the difficulty and what will actually help.
Your evaluation may include
- A detailed clinical interview about current symptoms and how they affect daily life.
- Developmental and educational history to understand when and where the pattern began.
- Input from others when useful such as a parent, teacher, partner, or prior clinician.
- Screening for overlapping conditions that can resemble or occur alongside ADHD.
- Objective testing when clinically useful with QbCheck.
An Important Distinction
No single test can diagnose ADHD by itself
QbCheck adds objective information to the clinical picture. Dr. P makes a diagnosis only after considering the test data alongside history, symptoms, functioning across settings, and other possible explanations.
Objective Testing
QbCheck can add objective clarity
WellMindsMD uses QbCheck for objective ADHD testing. Dr. P recommends it when the results can answer a meaningful clinical question and add useful data to the comprehensive evaluation.
QbCheck
- Measures attention, impulsivity, and activity during a 15–20 minute task.
- Compares performance with age- and sex-matched reference data.
- FDA-cleared as an aid in ADHD assessment and treatment monitoring for ages 6 to 60.

Common Questions
ADHD diagnostic services FAQ
Can QbCheck diagnose ADHD on its own?
No. Objective testing can strengthen an evaluation, but ADHD is a clinical diagnosis. Dr. P considers test results alongside history, symptoms, functioning across settings, and other conditions that may explain the difficulties.
Do you evaluate both children and adults?
Yes. Dr. P is double board-certified in child and adolescent psychiatry and adult psychiatry. Evaluations are adapted to age, development, family context, school or work demands, and the patient’s goals.
What if the evaluation does not support ADHD?
That is still useful information. Dr. P will explain what else may be contributing to the symptoms and recommend appropriate treatment, further assessment, or referrals.
Can the evaluation be completed remotely?
Many clinical visits and QbCheck can be completed remotely where appropriate. Availability depends on the patient’s location, age, clinical needs, technology, and applicable care requirements.
Can results support school or workplace accommodations?
Clinical findings and objective testing may help document functional concerns. Dr. P can discuss appropriate documentation, but each school, testing organization, or employer sets its own requirements and decides whether to grant accommodations.
Does an ADHD diagnosis automatically mean medication?
No. Diagnosis and treatment are separate decisions. Recommendations are individualized and may include medication, psychotherapy, coaching or skills support, changes at school or work, sleep and lifestyle strategies, or additional evaluation.
