    mother

    I highly recommend Dr. Deidre Doyle-Rubcich, consulting with her was a blessing. My son’s ADHD was undiagnosed for many years and in high school it began affecting him academically. Dr. Doyle-Rubcich evaluated him and made him feel at ease and comfortable during the assessment process. She diagnosed his ADHD and explained his results in great detail. Dr. Doyle-Rubcich made recommendations and offered several options for treatment, with follow up. As a result, our son was far more successful in school and is now ready for a 4 year college.
