looking for a neuropsychologist in the Bay Area

[99east]

Just moved to Oakland and not familiar with the community. 8 yo recently diagnosed with ADHD and meds seem to be sending him into crazyland. He's really bright, but has issues in some areas. We think that a complete neuropsych would help define the best ways we can help. Is it anxiety?, poor impulse control - or worse?

Names of excellent PhDs would be so helplful,

thank,

I wonder if Children’s hospital ( in Oakland) might have some resources for you?

Here is a link to a specialist there:

Good luck

Thank you for your response. I have checked out that individual and also learnt that the hospital is a wonderful resource for psych in training. That would be fine, but I am afraid that child is a bit more complicated. There are now very few supervisors, I have been told, to observe their students. I wonder if a more seasoned evaluator might be key to an effective eval. As you probably know, with all of us, but especially children, a poor experience makes it much more difficult to trust the process the next time.

But I so appreciate your caring enough to respond. Hope you are well in this tough time

Best to you!
