We were in a very difficult situation with a very unwell member of my family. MOAI Health helped co-ordinate the assessment care needed. I can’t thank them enough for the compassion and empathy they demonstrated.

We had an excellent experience with MOAI Health when our son underwent an ADHD assessment, and I would have no hesitation whatsoever in recommending them to other parents. We had become concerned about his concentration and felt that a professional assessment would help us better understand what he was experiencing and, importantly, what we could do to support him. From the outset, the whole process with MOAI Health was extremely professional, efficient and reassuring. The assessment itself was conducted in person by a professional who was excellent with our son. He was made to feel comfortable throughout, and the clinician managed to engage with him in a way that felt straightforward and stress-free. Everything was explained clearly to us, both during the assessment and afterwards, and we came away with a much clearer understanding of our son's needs. The detailed report we received was comprehensive, clearly written and included a range of useful recommendations to help us support our son going forward. It has also been very helpful to share the report with his school, giving them a better understanding of his needs and how they can support him. Overall, we found MOAI Health to be professional, knowledgeable, efficient and genuinely helpful. The whole process was pain-free, and we now have a clear diagnosis together with practical guidance on the next steps. I would certainly recommend MOAI Health to any parent who is considering an ADHD assessment for their child. They made the process straightforward from start to finish and provided us with exactly the clarity and practical advice we were looking for. A thoroughly excellent service.

The clinic has been so very supportive of my daughter who at age 17 was diagnosed with dual form ADHD. Dr Singh and then Dr Davey could not have been more helpful, and have been warm, clinically insightful and professional at all times. Thank you all for your assistance in getting her through her exams and off to her chosen University in London. Your secretarial staff are also excellent!

So happy to have gotten the support and help from MOAI and Dr Kiran Shetra. So appreciative that I was able to have access and the opportunity to use the service. Every employer should utilise and offer MOAI Health.

It was very good, made me think in a different way. My issues haven't gone away but I'm trying to think differently about it.

MOAI has been so incredibly helpful since I have started treatment with them. I had managed to get my diagnosis quickly and have received great support to help manage my mental health. My coaching sessions with Lucy have been amazing and have really helped me find ways to manage my diagnosis. I would highly recommend them if you are looking for support!
