Dr. Thor Bergersen is a life saver! I have extreme adhd as well as being an ultra-rapid CYP2D6 metabolizer. This means my body metabolizes my adhd meds at least twice as fast as normal metabolizers requiring me to need higher than FDA recommended doses. Most doctors in psychiatry do not understand this and would not give me my therapuetic dose, despite evidence from genetic testing. Dr. Thor does understand this and prescribes adequate doses for me. He is very responsive with requests and the office is very adhd friendly with me being able to schedule appts online and request refills online. The phone is never answered but after your first appt you are given a different phone number that goes directly to Dr. Thor. He is a god-send and I would be devastated if he were to ever go out of business. DO NOT TRUST the 1 star reviews. read more

Dr. Thor Bergersen ( owner of ADHD Boston) is a A++ Psychiatrist. I first came to see him about 5 years ago when going through one of the most stressful times of my life. My (shortish) story starts at age 10 (1990) when they found out that I had ADHD and dyslexia...lucky me. Reading and math was almost impossible for me in those days so wasnt paying attention or finishing anything; At 10 years old I was told my professions as an adult would be a gas station attendant or supermarket check out girl. Yeh right..not me! After my third year in college I said "f" it and dropped out my junior year to get into sales. Media sales none the less! Like any good sales leaders I took that new HUGE new job that I was slightly ( maybe moderately unqualified for) and went for it! Years past and I excelled in the Media industry. Taking risks, climbing the corporate ladder was the only thing I focused on until I met my wife got married. My wife and I took in two kiddos ( brothers) from the foster system who are now ( 4 & 6) A year passed with the boys they were just were still just as awful, I mean AWFUL. At that time I was knee deep in my new fancy job trying keep a traditional media group a float and trying to keep up with a new family at home who needed me. All around it was a really crappy time in my life. I came to the realization that enough was enough and I needed help. Which is when I found Thor. By working with Dr. Bergersen I was able to get a grip on my stress and objectively prioritize my daily tasks, build roadmaps and execute on them and more importantly be able to map out my day so I had time for my family while excelling at work. Thor provided a foundation of organizational routines, meditation apps, some key meds and in general he just found ways to uncover who I was and where I wanted to go and how i was going to get there. Dr. Thor Bergersen is exactly the guy you want in your corner if your going through a hard time with your ADD, depression or are dealing with a variety of stressful situations requiring adaptive treatment solutions. In closing, what can I say, Dr. Thor Bergersen and ADHD Boston...its absolutely LEGIT. Llenderal his secretary is amazing and will get back to you in 24 hrs or less. Every time I asked for a refiI or to speak to Dr. Thor I got a response in literally hours, I've recommended ADD Boston to all my friends in C-level exec spots with high stress jobs and other friends who are dog walkers or work at book stores who struggle with the same type of issues. Many of them have also seen him and have similar things to say about him. Seriously this Dr.Bergersen is the real deal. I HIGHLY, highly recommend him. Feel free to email me for a friendly referral: rebekah.burns@gmail.com Sincerely, RBV P.S. You gotta pay some money upfront but its nominal and can be reimbursed from some insurance providers. Spend the $$ you wont regret it. read more

If you're looking for ADHD treatment and/or consultation do not go here THIS PLACE IS A SCAM!! This place operates under very fishy terms and will TAKE YOUR MONEY AND RUN! I actually ended up reporting them to the Needham police department, this business is so shady I'm surprised they haven't been shut down... I made an appointment a few weeks ago through their online website, which states they don't take insurance and are strictly out of pocket which I was ok with, up until I read their very few poorly rated reviews a few days later and decided to cancel. I called their office at least 4 times before my appointment to cancel and I was sent to voicemail every single time. It was was very strange to me that during business hours no one would pick up the phone, mind you I would call at least two times a day. Three days after my appointment was scheduled I assumed they got the message, up until I check my bank account and they charged me $400!!! I assumed there was some type of misunderstanding so I called and left at least three voicemails. Btw this place never personally called me to confirm any type of appointment or confirm cancellation. At that point I decided to take matters into my own hands and go to the office myself so I can get some answers... On their website they apparently have two offices, one in Needham and one in Boston. On my way to work I decided to stop by their office on 101 arch street in Boston. When I talked to the doorman he said that he can't allow me upstairs but can call for someone to let me in or accept invitation from the "office". When he got off the phone he said that whoever was upstairs could not help me and that I should either call the businesses website or email them!!!! I was baffled I actually started laughing when the doorman repeated the same number I've been calling for a week and a half straight (: After that the doorman gave me some insight and told me that the establishment didn't actually have individual offices, but it was more like a big space with cubbies with independent representatives... very weird. At this point my gut wrenched and I truly believed that I had been scammed. Nevertheless I decided to pay a visit to their Needham office 30 minutes away to see what further answers I could get. To begin with when we got inside the building it was being restored or everyone was running for the hills... the walls were deteriorating and it seemed like a lot of business had left. Before finally approaching the "office" I began to call the offices number to see if anyone picked up, STRAIGHT TO VOICEMAIL AGAIN!!! when I finally got in the office seemed to be COMPLETELY EMPTY. No secretary, not one person around to help!! The establishment did have a typical "doctors office" feel, there were ADHD help books and card laying around so I knew I was at the right place. After about 20 minutes of waiting around I decided to investigate bc there was LITERALY NO ONE AROUND!! I couldn't believe what I was experiencing I was actually very freaked out. After going down a hallway I reached Dr. Thor Bergenesen's office, expecting to actually meet a doctor so I knocked on the door... no response. After 10 minutes of waiting again I knocked again since I was getting impatient and was late to work and simply just wanted to speak to someone regarding money that was taken. FINALLY this lady opens the door and bluntly asks what I want so I state that I've been trying to reach the office for the past two weeks regarding a charge on my account that I didn't constant and she BLEW UP in my face saying that I have no right to interrupt her and she has NO IDEA what I'm talking about !!!!! I asked if she was the doctor and she said no!!! lLIKE WHAT IS GOING ON?!!?! This lady "Lauren" who apparently was the manager told me that I had to leave and that she had no idea about what charge I was talking about. I asked her why there was no secretary and they don't answer calls and she started screaming and told me to get out. I wanted no altercation so I left and called the Needham police department. Until the're formally shut down DO NOT FALL FOR THIS SCAM!!!!!! I never write reviews like this but this is just ILLEGAL!!!!! read more

I'm a Practice Manager at a large Boston Hospital. If I ran my business the way ADHD Boston did, we'd be shut down within a month because all of our patients would leave. If ADHD Boston is going to opt to do business outside of the insurance realm and only take out-of-pocket payments (which is the unfortunate direction that healthcare is going on these days), the response time needs to be exponentially better than a place that will handle you with a $20.00 copay. I left a voicemail and left a message through the website. It took them over two weeks to get back to me with an e-mail. I replied to the email on the same day and it has been 8 days and still no response. This is JUST to get a first appointment scheduled for my partner. Really?! To me, this illustrates an indifference to people who could potentially have mental health conditions and need help. Their email reply to me said, "after you send me a return email, with just a little more information (no need to go into great detail), we can talk about scheduling an intake evaluation for sometime this week or next." I did precisely that. I've gotten nothing. No Thanks. read more

The problem with the healthcare system starts with businesses like this. I called to make a new patient appointment. I've been years on Adderall to allow me to focus at home and work. It's pretty straight forward. There are a few well-known meds out there and this one has been a life saver for me. I am new to the area I don't have health insurance, yet, and my prescription ran out. So, I need to find a local doctor and get started, again. What's the problem? They require two initial visits totalling over $500! Other psychiatrists that do advertise their numbers have numbers between $150 and $200. These doctors want to pocket FIVE HUNDRED DOLLARS just to get me to my first prescription! I got off the phone in shock! My advise to you? Stay clear!!! read more

Yes it is expensive but the service is great and prescriptions are refilled promptly. The cost for mental health in this country is a problem not with this place but with the politics. read more

We had our son evaluated earlier this year and only wished we did it sooner. The recommendations in the report were stellar and he's been excelling in summer school. It was pricey, as any suburban "boutique" clinic would be - but I have no regrets about that - I owed it to my child to invest in his learning. The doctors there were very warm, professional and supportive. There was a communication delay here and there, but to their credit, they were accountable and explained that they were between office managers. My son ended up loving the process - he thought it was fun and interesting, and is proud of having gone through with it. I referred two of my co-workers to be evaluated at ADHD Boston - if only they would stop procrastinating and make an appointment. And, I referred my brother for therapy. I'm a fan. read more

1 star is too generous! These clowns do not return phone calls unless you are making your initial appointment. After that, you will never hear from them. They have no office staff and the remote employee is sweet but lacks follow through and organizational skills. Required paperwork never was filled out nor did the doctors inform my husband of next steps. They did cash the out of insurance network very quickly! read more
