Dr David Roberts

Reviews for this provider are sharply divided. Several parents report positive outcomes, particularly around ASD and ADHD assessment, describing Dr Roberts as thorough, clear in his explanations, and genuinely attentive to their children as individuals — with some crediting him with significantly improving their child's quality of life. However, multiple reviewers raise serious and recurring concerns about a behavioural intervention he recommends called "Highly Structured Time Out," which several families — as well as other professionals they consulted — considered inappropriate or harmful; additionally, more than one reviewer describes being dismissed as a patient after questioning his advice or seeking second opinions, and one reviewer alleges he attributed a child's ASD to the mother's parenting, a claim subsequently rejected by other clinicians.
