About Dr Torrance Merkle
I graduated from the University of Auckland in 2012 and have been practising medicine for over a decade. I work as a GP with a special interest in ADHD and neurodiversity.
How I work
- Listening is everything. The person sitting across the room usually knows more about their own patterns than any screener can capture.
- Treat the whole person. ADHD rarely travels alone. Anxiety, sleep, burnout and life circumstances all matter.
- Offer choices, not prescriptions. Medicine should be a collaborative conversation between two experts.
