I dont recommend Dr. Gopal at all! She was very rude and unapproachable. We had 2 visits with her. After the intial visit I asked to meet with a different doctor and they would not let me change drs. On the 2nd visit after our child went through the 5 hrs of testing for ADHD, we expected her to walk us through the test results, what tests they did, and our options. Instead, we walked in her office, she did not even look at us or greet us, she handed us the packet of results, and just sat there. I started to review the packet on my own (in silence in front of her) and asked about the"jargon" and terms that we were not familiar with. She acted like we should know what wisc-iv, VCI, and PRI meant, and it was like pulling teeth to get any answers out of her- which she gave in a very condescending manner. She did not even review the file before we walked in, and even referred to our child by the wrong name. She gave us the wrong diagnosis, then had to review his file again to correct it. Once I pointed out to her who our child was, she reviewed his file in front of us for the first time. She sat in her recliner the entire time (including when we came and left) and had me fill out papers on the floor at her coffee table. She is very cold, uninformative, unprepared, and did not even take the time to ever meet with our child, yet she was giving us the results. Instantly, she told us our only option was medication. I was ready to accept medication, but I had hoped she would offer 2 or 3 options. However, everyone else in the office were very nice, and the other doctors seemed very friendly. If you do get stuck with dr. Gopal, I suggest you research ADHD tests, terms and treatments in detail before your visit (though we thought we did). Do not expect a good bedside manner or a doctor who cares about your child. It was clear we were just another case file and all of her answers felt like they were generic ADHD answers without really knowing our child. We mentioned our experience to our primary and she said that she hears that a lot about Dr. GOPAL. She told us our child had impulsivity, (in actuality our child is very slow, lathargic, and quiet). When I was surprised and questioned this, she said "oh your right, the test showed he wasnt, I must have been thinking about someone else". Lastly, the report is very copy/paste, and several times they put the wrong childs name. As a concerned parent, she was the worst doctor I have ever met with.
