What Parents Say
Hear from families who have visited our Aberdeen clinic.
After waiting over a year on the NHS, we booked privately at ROC and had our son assessed within two weeks. The report was thorough, and the consultant took the time to explain everything clearly.
Dr Hamed was wonderful with our daughter — patient, kind, and incredibly knowledgeable. We finally have answers and a clear plan. The report was accepted by both our GP and the school without any questions.
I was so worried before the assessment, but the team put us at ease from the first phone call. The combined ADHD and Autism pathway meant we only had to go through the process once. Worth every penny.
