Dr. Woodger was a very pleasant psychiatrist who made me feel at ease during my adult ADHD assessment. At the start of the appointment, she talked me through what would happen during the assessment so that I knew what to expect. She was very good at listening to my experiences and we even laughed at times during the appointment which made me feel more relaxed. I definitely would recommend Dr. Woodger. She even typed up my report and emailed it to me, along with additional information on a Friday evening, just a few short hours after my appointment which I really was not expecting. I almost can't believe I now have this diagnosis. I had been toying with this possibility for quite a while but kept talking myself out of needing to be assessed. I wish I had done this sooner.
Verified Patient Review
Received my ADHD diagnosis with Joanna, she was very kind, comforting and informative. Would highly recommend, very professional while also maintaining a friendly and accepting atmosphere.
Anton Strover
Had a fantastic experience with Dr Woodger. She was very thorough, communication was great and all of my questions were answered. I was really nervous before my assessment but I didn't need to be, I was made to feel completely at ease and comfortable throughout my assessment. I had my post assessment documents next day & everything was explained to me in great detail.

Dr Joanne Woodger gave me the most insightful, patient and professional consultation. Not only did she walk me through the process during the call, but stuck by me after the diagnosis as well.
