In-person ADHD evaluation with Dr. Rajiv Kumra, MD at 245 5th Avenue in Midtown. Serving Manhattan's Upper West Side, Upper East Side, Midtown, Greenwich Village, Chelsea, and Harlem. Adults 18+ seeking ADHD diagnosis can book same-week appointments starting at $150.
Manhattan's fast-paced environment often masks ADHD symptoms in high-achieving professionals. Adults living in neighborhoods like the Upper West Side, Upper East Side, and Midtown frequently seek ADHD evaluation later in their careers after experiencing burnout, relationship challenges, or declining productivity. With a population of approximately 1.6 million people in Manhattan proper, current research suggests that roughly 6% of adults have ADHD, meaning approximately 96,000 Manhattan residents likely have undiagnosed or untreated ADHD. Many professionals navigate demanding careers for decades without understanding why organization, time management, and sustained focus feel more difficult than for peers.
The Manhattan neighborhood profile includes ambitious professionals across finance, media, technology, law, and creative industries. These individuals often develop sophisticated coping mechanisms that mask underlying ADHD until life complexity increases beyond their adaptive strategies. You might be excelling at your job while feeling constant internal struggle, experiencing relationship strain due to emotional dysregulation, or noticing that your usual effort no longer produces expected results. A proper ADHD evaluation provides clarity, allowing you to make informed decisions about treatment options that align with your Manhattan lifestyle.
Many Manhattan residents prefer in-person ADHD evaluation because they want to establish a direct relationship with their provider, particularly when considering medication management. Telehealth evaluations became prevalent during the pandemic, but adults in Manhattan increasingly recognize that initial ADHD assessment benefits from face-to-face clinical observation. Dr. Kumra's Manhattan office at 245 5th Avenue provides convenient access from all neighborhoods, with direct subway access from the A, C, and E lines serving the Upper West Side, the 4, 5, and 6 lines from the Upper East Side, and multiple Midtown lines including the F, M, N, Q, R, and W lines serving downtown and crosstown commuters.
Your ADHD evaluation at our Manhattan office begins with a comprehensive clinical interview lasting approximately 60-90 minutes. Dr. Kumra reviews your developmental history, educational experiences, work performance patterns, relationship dynamics, and current symptoms. This conversation explores how attention, executive function, impulse control, and emotional regulation have affected your life across different settings—not just your current job or relationships. You'll discuss childhood behaviors, school performance, how you manage multiple projects, your relationship with deadlines, and patterns of distraction or hyperfocus that have emerged throughout your life.
The evaluation includes validated screening instruments such as the Adult ADHD Self-Report Scale (ASRS) and other clinical assessments designed to identify ADHD symptoms and rule out conditions that can mimic ADHD. Dr. Kumra may request records from previous healthcare providers, educational history, and sometimes input from family members who can describe childhood and adolescent patterns. The goal is to develop an accurate understanding of whether your symptoms align with ADHD diagnosis or whether other factors—such as anxiety, sleep disorders, thyroid dysfunction, or mood disorders—better explain your experiences.
Following your evaluation, Dr. Kumra discusses results and recommendations, which may include ADHD diagnosis, treatment options, lifestyle modifications, and whether medication management could benefit you. If ADHD diagnosis is confirmed and you choose medication, Dr. Kumra provides detailed information about available medications, expected effects, potential side effects, and how to monitor response. Many Manhattan clients appreciate that they establish a direct relationship with Dr. Kumra for ongoing medication management appointments, which can continue virtually after the initial in-person evaluation.
The Manhattan office appointment is available same-week for most clients. Our staff works to accommodate your schedule within weekday and select weekend hours. The evaluation costs $150 for the initial assessment, with transparent pricing throughout your care. Insurance may cover portions depending on your specific plan and deductible status, and our staff can discuss coverage details during scheduling. You'll receive a detailed clinical summary document following your evaluation that you can share with other healthcare providers or retain for your personal records.

The initial ADHD evaluation at our Manhattan office is $150, a transparent all-inclusive price for the comprehensive assessment described above. This price covers the full 60-90 minute clinical interview, symptom assessment, clinical documentation, and results discussion. We do not charge additional facility fees, documentation fees, or hidden charges. You pay one clear amount and receive complete ADHD evaluation services.
Many insurance plans provide coverage for ADHD evaluation when you have established psychiatry benefits. If you have insurance, our staff verifies your coverage before your appointment, informing you of your deductible, co-pay, and whether StopADHD is in-network with your carrier. If your insurance requires a higher deductible before benefits activate, you have the choice to pay out-of-pocket at our $150 rate or wait until deductible requirements are met. Some Manhattan clients prefer the simplicity of direct payment, while others prefer utilizing their insurance coverage. Both options are available.
For ongoing medication management appointments following your evaluation, fees vary based on appointment type and frequency. Many clients utilize their insurance for follow-up medication management while others continue with out-of-pocket self-pay. Dr. Kumra's practice accommodates both approaches, ensuring you can continue care in whatever manner works best for your situation. Payment methods include credit card, debit card, and ACH transfer, all processed securely through HIPAA-compliant systems.
If cost is a significant barrier, we encourage you to discuss your situation during scheduling. While we cannot offer sliding scale fees, we can sometimes find solutions or connect you with community mental health resources in Manhattan that might provide more affordable evaluations, though these typically involve longer wait times and may not include Dr. Kumra's expertise.
