Common signs
Sound familiar?
✓ Starting is hard; finishing is harder
✓ Time disappears — chronically late or hyperfocused
✓ Careless mistakes despite real effort
✓ Restlessness, interrupting, racing thoughts
✓ A desk, inbox and car that mirror the mind
✓ School reports say 'bright but not applying'
Not a fit: A checklist is not a diagnosis — an evaluation is. If several of these fit, it's worth a conversation.
How we evaluate it
A structured diagnostic interview covering childhood and current symptoms, validated scales (ASRS/Vanderbilt), collateral input, and screening for sleep debt, anxiety, depression and thyroid — the conditions a ten-minute quiz calls ADHD.
How we evaluate it
Stimulants remain first-line and work well when monitored — with cardiac screening, dose titration and follow-up built in. Non-stimulant options for people with anxiety, cardiac concerns, or a preference to avoid controlled medication. Focus & Flow track keeps skills and structure running between visits.
Cost & insurance
Evaluations and follow-ups bill to our participating plans or transparent self-pay. Benefits verified and your expected cost reviewed before your first visit.
What measured care looks like
ASRS tracked at every visit
The Adult ADHD Self-Report Scale is scored before each appointment, so improvement — or its absence — is visible early and the plan changes when the data says to. Illustrative course shown; individual results vary.

What's different here
What gets mistaken for ADHD
Untreated sleep apnea, anxiety, depression, thyroid disease, heavy caffeine or cannabis use, and plain overload can all produce inattention, restlessness and forgetfulness. A ten-minute quiz can't tell them apart; a structured evaluation with childhood history, collateral input and a sleep screen can. If the mimic is the cause, treating it is the treatment — and a stimulant would only have masked it.
Roughly one in three adults who screen positive on a self-report scale doesn't meet criteria on structured interview. We'd rather find that out before the prescription.

Adult & Child ADHD questions
The evaluation, yes. Controlled-medication prescribing follows current federal and Florida telehealth requirements; an in-person visit may be required when clinically or legally appropriate. We map your specific path at booking.
Book a child evaluation; bring report cards and any teacher input. Parents are in the room, and the school gets a plan they can actually use, with your permission.
After our own evaluation, gladly. We don't transfer prescriptions without one — that protects you.
