GP-led adult ADHD care
Adult ADHD care for Newcastle, without starting over
Newcastle is the largest city in regional NSW. Even so, finding an ADHD doctor in Newcastle can mean a drive to Sydney. That is a real barrier if you do shift work at the port, work in the city, or study at the University of Newcastle. It is the same for families in Lake Macquarie, Maitland, Charlestown or Cessnock.
My ADHD GP is the ADHD service of Rosedale Medical Practice, a GP practice in West Pennant Hills caring for patients since 1997. Our GPs look after adults with ADHD.
- One GP-led path for adults across the Hunter
- In person first, then most visits by video
- We apply for NSW Health approval if needed
- Your usual GP kept in the loop
