We're here to support you every step of the way on your path to better physical and mental health. If you’re looking to be evaluated for possible ADHD symptoms, we’re glad you’ve chosen to partner with Circle Medical. Here’s everything you need to know about preparing for your first appointment.
🗂️ Do you have prior records to send us?
You can upload them directly through the Circle Medical app: go to the Health Records tab, tap “Prior Medical Records,” then select the “Add / Request Record” button.
Once submitted, records are typically processed and added to your chart within 3–5 business days for provider review.
Important note: While you may have been previously diagnosed with ADHD from an external clinic, you must successfully complete our 3-visit diagnostic process before any controlled substance medications can be prescribed.

A current list of medications you’re taking
Any known allergies
Contact details for your previous medical providers

Timeframe for evaluation
At Circle Medical, a thorough, evidence-based ADHD assessment takes 3 dedicated appointments. During these visits, your provider will work closely with you to review your symptoms, concerns, and detailed health history. Sometimes, symptoms that seem like ADHD may actually have other causes and require different treatment.
Transferring ADHD care to Circle Medical
To maintain the highest standard of safety and clinical accuracy, all new patients—including those previously diagnosed with ADHD at an external facility—must successfully complete our 3-visit diagnostic process before any controlled substance medications can be prescribed.
You are welcome to share any previous medical records with your Circle Medical provider in order for them to have a full understanding of your current health status.
