ADHD Reviews
Next Level Care + Empathy - Sessions with NP Nick have helped me to better understand ADHD, provided ideas on managing my symptoms and ultimately propelled me to new levels in my personal and professional life. Having just navigated welcoming a new baby into my family, I know I’m a more present parent due to the work NP Nick and I have done together over these last 3 years. I’m truly grateful to have such an exceptional practitioner on my side.
Life-Changing - I've been trying to navigate my ADHD/ anxiety diagnosis for years. Dealing with other professionals has been daunting; ADHD in women's health is often overlooked, and I felt discounted and discouraged. I was referred to Nicholas by a close friend after expressing my frustration. Nicholas is a wonderful and knowledgeable professional. After working with him for just a couple of months, I finally had a medication schedule that worked for me. Visits aren't the only support that he offers; Nicholas always responds quickly to emails, so any questions I have regarding treatment are answered promptly, which is great for someone with anxiety. So glad I switched to him!
Always has your back! - I've been a patient for 2 years now and couldn't be happier with the level of care I've received. He really listens and works with you to find the best treatment options, and I always feel heard. I feel like I have a better handle on my ADHD now than ever. If want a healthcare provider that's always in your corner, Nicholas Balyint is it.
Nicholas Balyint, PMHNP-BC is extremely knowledgeable, thoughtful and compassionate in his approach. From our very first appointment I felt a huge relief that my concerns and worries from past treatment experiences were truly being heard. His genuine passion to help his patients succeed is evident, he truly focuses on the patient rather than a standardized treatment plan. He helps me to understand my options always and maintains a plan that works best for me. I now have the tools to stay on track in managing my anxiety / ADHD and peace of mind knowing I have a support system I can trust!
Receptive, speedy, and excellent in every way - Nick is always prompt and helpful with his replies. He is easy to connect with via telehealth and always thinks in the best interests of his patients both clinically and logistically.
