A very thorough assessment

A very thorough, comprehensive service, with kind and caring practitioners. We had to chase up the follow up appointment, but when it was explained thie was because of a need to conduct further assessments we were reassured that no corners were being cut and that the outcome would be carefully considered. The only things that could be improved were the quality of the forms sent out for completion (looked like photocopies and could not be completed online) and being kept up to date without having to chase things up.
However we were extremely relieved to find a face to face service where some of the process was done in person.
Thank you.

Childhood ADHD Diagnosis

We used evolve psychology service for our son. We found the support incredible, we were kept well informed about the process and timescales. We felt that the whole process was extremely thorough and our son was well understood. I would highly recommend evolve.

Great physiology service very thorough

The assessments were done in a professional manner. The results were given to us fairly quickly. All that was good. But, once given a diagnosis we were left without support.
Our Gp couldn’t help either so have had to pay privately.

Hi Gaynor, thank you for your positive feedback.

At Evolve we are aware of the need for the support post a diagnosis and are working hard to bring some helpful support for families and individuals after having an assessment with us. We are hoping to launch an offering in July, please do keep checking our socials for more information! We appreciate your feedback.

Thanks

All the staff at evolve are so lovely. I chose evolve as I felt my sons gp failed him and they didn’t want to help. When my son had his appointment the clinician really listened to what we had to say and didn’t judge us. They were fantastic with my son and we got him a diagnosis of asd and adhd. We were shocked with the autism diagnosis as we really weren’t expecting it but the clinician really helped us as a family. Very supportive if I needed any further assistance. Would definitely recommend Evolve rather than waiting years for a cahms referral. The clinicians really listen and don’t fob you off. Thank you again

Hi Nicole,

Thank you very much for taking the time to leave your review. We really appreciate your kind words and are pleased you got the answers you needed.

Rated 1 out of 5 stars

Disappointing.

No signposting post diagnosis (a child who they suggest needs ‘treating’ for ADHD before they can reconsider ASD - contentious to force our hands as parents to medicate in order for our son to be supported effectively and access appropriate provision(s) re the need for an ASD diagnosis. Also contentious to not signpost parents effectively re how to access medication pathway(s). Struggle to make sense of this post diagnosis abandonment.
The report was also outdated - quotes from infant school which were no longer relevant were included but little from current junior school who support the need for an ASD diagnosis. No longitudinal parental data made it into the report. The report felt akin to cherry picked data which supported their decision to not diagnose ASD and thus any supportive evidence appeared largely elusive.
Employees of Evolve aren’t bad people, but as a family we were very disappointed with our experiences under Evolve Psychology.

Hi Rebecca,

We are sorry to hear about your recent experience with us, please do get in touch with our enquiries team with your concerns about the report so we can look into this further. We do really appreciate there is a the lack of support in areas after a diagnosis, we hope you received our post assessment pack which explains about who to speak to for medication and has several links and recommendations for support - please do get in touch if you did not receive that. We are working hard to bring some helpful support for families and individuals after having an assessment with us, and are hoping to launch an offering in July, please do keep checking our socials for more information.

Thank you

Evolve we’re amazing with my son

Evolve we’re amazing with my son. They were patient and understanding. They worked as quickly and smoothly as they could. We received my son’s diagnosis within 2-3 years, which is pretty quick considering the backlogs of most waiting lists.

Good thorough service

Good, thorough service, helpful and personable once you are offered an appointment (12 month wait). They are very helpful, and they discuss your child's assessment and report with you in detail. We were happy to use their NHS service.

Professional and comprehensive assessments

We used Evolve for our son's ASD assessment and when they came back to us with his diagnosis, they said they also wanted to assess for ADHD which we also agreed with.
Both assessments were comprehensive and supportive and the report that was done afterwards was detailed, thorough, and showed all the work they had done to get the diagnoses right.
Would highly recommend Evolve. Thank you

Right to Choose

It was fantastic when I discovered we didn't have to wait for CAMHS and could choose an alternative via right to choose - a friend recommended Evolve - they were brilliant and although there was still a long wait it was much shorter than CAMHS.

We had several zoom meetings and an in person assessment for our daughter - and all the staff were lovely the building was great with good facilities.
