He supported me through one of the toughest times in my life; assisted in helping me take a leave of absence from my job (which required an immense amount of paperwork & documentation on his end), and has always been open to my input in terms of medication. I have an immune disorder which was undiagnosed for many years (my whole life), he can handle complex cases and is willing to work with other doctors who may be proving care in order to do the right thing. He is a compassionate, understanding smart and reasonable. There have been times I have missed an apt due to my kids, he has always ensured I have enough medication until I can reschedule my appt (not all doctors will do that). couldn't recommend him enough!

He doesn't beat around the bush like some other doctors might when it comes to treating your symptoms. He also doesn't try to discredit you if you have researched drugs related to the treatment of your condition. I really appreciated that.

I had been waiting two + weeks for an appointment I desperately needed…read more Power in my town goes out an hour before the appointment so I have no wifi (live in between mountains so not great video call service) and asked for 10 minutes grace period to try to be able to connect.

Very disappointed and upset considering their practice is intended to help people and waiting another 2 weeks isn't something I feel safe doing. when someone fills out forms and it's clear they need help, why be selfish and turn them away over 10 minutes?

That is unfortunately common. At least that's how I read it. I, myself, have been highly impressed with the compassion, understanding, expertise and approach of Dr Wadsworth. Im 53 and have been on a lifelong quest to find a solution to my chronic anxiety. Since my early 20s I've been aware that my anxiety was active whether or not there was really anything to be anxious about. I described it as "ambient." I'm in the generation right before they started recognizing and diagnosing ADHD in kids - and even then it was the typical symptoms of little hyperactive / disruptive boys that were the trigger to evaluate them for ADHD. It presents so differently in girls. And later, if it's not treated, it presents even more differently in adult women who have adapted through the decades to use coping mechanisms to manage their symptoms without understanding why they were happening. I am fortunate to have recently witnessed the diagnosis and successful treatment outcome of a young woman in my family! Without being part of that process I don't think I would have EVER recognized the suspected symptoms in myself. And it wasn't actually me who started the real inquiry - it was the loving people who know me well who pointed out behaviors, tendencies and habits that all pointed to underlying ADHD. Contrary to my understanding, ADHD doesn't mean you can't pay attention. It often means the opposite - you pay too much attention to too many things at once! And the hyperactive component doesn't always manifest in stereotypical behaviors on the outside. I am a woman who can focus like a laser beam and aside from bouncing my knee when I have to sit still, not much about me screams 'hyperactive.' BUT inside my mind, my laser beam focus is like Swiss cheese - bombarded by distractions which exhaust me to manage. I learned that it was the inability to turn my laser beam off - or to allow it to focus on just one thing at a time - that was the problem. My chronic list making and future tripping belied my constant overwhelm because all of my thoughts hit me at once. Important, unimportant, happy, worried, hopeful, future, past, to-dos, relationships, house, yard, pets, work, play... all in one big jumble! I had managed to develop a system to prioritize and tackle things in some logical order. And I would engage one of the common superpowers of ADHD (hyper-focus) to address each task or project, but it was always an exhausting process because I was fending off overwhelm and burning so much energy in an effort to keep intrusive thoughts at bay. I can only see this now because I've been on Adderall, prescribed by Dr Wadsworth after a thorough and careful evaluation, for about a week. Now I know how my mind CAN work and now i realize I should have been on this med since I was a child. I still am aware of my large to do list and overall areas of concern and responsibility in my life, but it's no longer overwhelming because my thoughts (and the feelings that go with them) proceed in a fairly logical and moderately paced order. My anxiety is down about 80-90% compared to just a couple of weeks ago. I never dreamed that would be possible. Another benefit is that all my decades of practice developing coping skills are finally paying off! Now if I do "The Work" or apply mindfulness techniques to a disturbance, it actually makes a difference! It used to be that the anxious pit in my stomach barely reduced even when I could unequivocally see that there was nothing real to be anxious about. I hope others in my situation find their way to Dr W so they can be properly evaluated, too. I appreciate that he treats me like a grownup regarding adjusting my dose according to my own pace, and discussing options without dismiss my input. I also struggle with sleep and he's been very open to helping me explore med combos that will work. Overall I've been very grateful to have found him and I would not hesitate to recommend him for care. In fact I've already shared his info with a couple of people in my life who are my age and whom I suspect may have also slipped through the diagnosis cracks when they were kids. I hope all of us can finally circle back to receive the diagnosis and treatment we always needed and deserved. Thank you for reading this, and please pass these thoughts on to someone you know who may be suffering needlessly - without all the puzzle pieces they need to solve it! I wouldn't have found this life-changing solution if people who loved me hadn't gently nudged me to explore. It's too hard to see yourself from the inside - especially after a lifetime adapting to what you think is normal.

I was diagnosed over 20 years ago with adult ADD and went to see Siahpush only because of an…read moreinsurance change. Big mistake! At the first meeting I told him very clearly what my history and and what my expectations were. I was a little concerned from day one because I mentioned the book "Driven to Distraction", probably the best selling popular title on the topic, first published way back in 1994 and updated periodically over time--yet he did not seem to know what I was talking about. Because English is not his first language I thought maybe he didn't hear me correctly, so I set the concern aside and gave him the benefit of the doubt. I saw him several times thereafter and each time I left the session concerned that he did not seem to be listening. At one point he requested my S/O join us via facetime at the next session and she agreed and went through all kinds of schedule acrobatics to clear the time slot and even had to pull over in her car to wait for the call, but we did not call her from the session because he pretty much blew her off--incredibly discourteous and unprofessional, not to mention highly arrogant. All that effort at HIS suggestion and he just acted like it was no big deal, as if his was the only valuable time, not hers or mine. Instead of simply picking up on my previous, effective treatment regimen he decided instead to waste time trying to tech me various time management techniques which, as a 56 year-old graduate educated business owner and writer, I had tried decades ago. If ADD treatment was as simple as a few time management tweaks then there would not be such a large body of research on the subject or various medications developed to treat it. I am a high achieving person and it is a huge impediment when not treated--which was why I went to see him in the first place. In light of his obvious disregard of what I told him initially and after his rudeness to my S/O it was quite clear to me that he was wasting my time and did not have a clue about treating adult ADD--which is odd because it is a pretty basic and common malady among men. Over the 20+ years since I received my diagnosis through various moves and insurance changes I have had to switch providers a few times and I know from experience that finding an effective mental health provider is an enormous challenge, sometimes it takes several swings before you finally connect. When covid hit I put the matter on the back burner, thinking maybe I'd see him one last time and lay out my dissatisfaction with him after the lockdown ended (at the time we all thought the lockdown would be just a matter of a few weeks). A short time later I happened to be on a Kirkland Community Facebook group (I am a third generation of a five generation Kirkland extended family) and a woman was posting odd, out-of-place and disturbing anti-police, pro-Marxist, pro-violence political views and when neighbors politely made logical arguments as to why police are necessary and Kirkland's are held to a high standard she was really rude--which is common online, but not so much in community groups where people often know each other or cross paths in real life. I made a logical, reasoned, pro-Kirkland Police Dept reply and she called me an expletive. Then I noticed she listed her profession as a mental health provider at the Evergreen Clinic! I looked at their online roster of staff and there she was . . . WOW! That told me everything I needed to know, this guy is not only a bad listener and arrogant, but he entrusts clearly unbalanced, rude individuals to TREAT PATIENTS with DRUGS at his clinic! If you don't mind an inconsiderate, inattentive provider and a rude, pro-violence, pro-antifa support staff who do not conduct themselves like grownups in our community then the Evergreen Clinic might be the place for you!

I am on a medication prescribed by a doctor who specializes in a different specialty than Dr. Carlson. The particular medication has an off label use for pain management, which is the reason I take it, not because I'm an addict. I was very up front with Dr. Carlson and provided the name and phone number of the doctor who prescribes the medication in case she had any questions. Dr. Carlson refused to even call the prescribing physician, she assumed that the medication was only used by addicts and had no other off label use which isn't the case. I found her to be very judgmental, cold and downright uncaring. It says a lot when a doctor refuses to contact another doctor to discuss and coordinate patient care.

I truly believe had Dr. Carlson not been my therapist and psychiatrist at that time in my life, I wouldn't be here today. I only hope someday soon I can find someone else like her that I can trust with my medications, I've at least found a good therapist.
