Finally get the focus and calm you deserve.
Comprehensive, personalized ADHD care for children and adults — a real evaluation, honest medication options, and ongoing follow-through, not a rushed visit and a hurried prescription.
How ADHD is evaluated and treated here
Real Evaluation
We look at symptom history since childhood, not just a checklist, to distinguish ADHD from stress or anxiety.
Medication Options, Explained
Stimulant and non-stimulant medications discussed honestly, including risks, benefits, and medication-free approaches.
Available by Telemedicine
Full evaluations and follow-ups available virtually, with an in-person visit recommended when possible.
What ADHD can look like
ADHD isn't just hyperactive kids who can't sit still. It shows up in several patterns — and in adults it's often quiet, internal, and easy to mistake for a personal failing rather than a treatable condition.
Inattentive
Trouble focusing, following through, and staying organized; easily distracted, loses things, misses details. Often overlooked because it's not disruptive — especially in girls and women.
Hyperactive-Impulsive
Restlessness, fidgeting, interrupting, acting before thinking, difficulty waiting. More obvious in childhood, and what most people picture when they hear "ADHD."
Combined
A mix of inattentive and hyperactive-impulsive symptoms — the most common presentation, and the one most likely to affect several areas of life at once.
Adult ADHD
Chronic overwhelm, procrastination, missed deadlines, and emotional reactivity — frequently undiagnosed for decades and mislabeled as anxiety, laziness, or "not trying hard enough."
How we evaluate ADHD
An accurate ADHD diagnosis takes more than a quick symptom checklist — and getting it right matters, because the wrong diagnosis means the wrong treatment. We take the time to understand the full picture:
- Symptom history since childhood: true ADHD is present from an early age, so we look at patterns over your whole life, not just the last stressful few months
- Validated rating scales: standardized tools like the ASRS and Vanderbilt to measure symptoms objectively rather than relying on impression alone
- Impact across settings: how symptoms affect work, school, relationships, and home — ADHD shows up in more than one area of life
- Ruling out mimics: checking for anxiety, depression, thyroid problems, and sleep issues that can look like ADHD or coexist with it
- A treatment plan you choose: we lay out medication and non-medication options honestly and decide together — the choice is always yours

ADHD treatment options
Medication is often highly effective for ADHD, but it's one tool among several — and it isn't the only option. We explain the honest trade-offs and build a plan around what fits your life.
Stimulants
Methylphenidate and amphetamine-based medications are the most effective and best-studied ADHD treatments. Prescribed and monitored carefully, with regular check-ins.
Non-Stimulants
Atomoxetine (Strattera), bupropion (Wellbutrin), and guanfacine (Intuniv) — good options for patients who prefer to avoid stimulants or don't tolerate them well.
Skills & Coaching
Practical strategies and behavioral tools for organization, time management, and follow-through — the scaffolding that makes any treatment work better.
Lifestyle Foundations
Sleep, exercise, and stress management genuinely move the needle on focus and impulse control, and support whatever medication plan you're on.
Finding the right medication and dose can take a few months of careful adjustment — and we monitor closely along the way. When prescribed and followed properly, the risk of misuse is low, and treated ADHD is associated with better outcomes across the board.
Prescribed responsibly, because we actually care
Stimulants are controlled substances, and treating them casually does patients a disservice. Our safeguards aren't hoops to jump through — they're how we keep the people we treat genuinely safe while getting them real relief. To us, careful prescribing is good care.
Regular In-Person Visits
New Jersey requires an in-person visit at least every three months to continue a controlled-substance prescription, and we hold to it. Telemedicine fills in between, but we keep seeing you in person as the state — and good medicine — require.
Urine Drug Screening
We obtain a urine drug screen before starting a controlled substance, and periodically afterward — not out of suspicion, but as a routine, respectful part of safe prescribing that protects you.
We Check the NJPMP
Before every controlled-substance prescription we review the New Jersey Prescription Monitoring Program, the statewide database that helps prevent dangerous interactions and keeps your full medication picture in view.

Learn moreADHD treatment questions
How do I know if I really have ADHD or if I'm just stressed?
The key difference is timing and pattern. ADHD symptoms have been present since childhood, persist across multiple areas of life, and don't go away when stress decreases. A comprehensive evaluation explores your history and current symptoms to determine what's actually at play.
Will I have to take stimulant medication?
Not necessarily. While stimulant medications are often highly effective, non-stimulant options like Strattera, Wellbutrin, or Intuniv exist too. We discuss all options, including medication-free approaches, and the choice is always yours.
I'm worried about addiction to ADHD medication. Is that a real risk?
When prescribed and monitored properly, the risk is very low. Studies show people with ADHD who take prescribed stimulants are actually less likely to develop substance use problems. We monitor carefully with proper dosing and regular check-ins.
How long does it take to see results from ADHD treatment?
Many patients notice significant improvement within days to weeks of starting medication, though finding the right medication and dose can take 2–3 months of adjustment. Most patients report feeling noticeably better within the first month.
Can you diagnose ADHD via telemedicine?
Yes. We can conduct comprehensive ADHD evaluations via telemedicine and prescribe appropriate medications, though we recommend at least one in-person visit when possible for a complete physical exam.
Do you evaluate ADHD in adults, not just children?
Yes. A large share of the ADHD evaluations we do are for adults — many of whom were never diagnosed as children and spent years assuming they were just disorganized, forgetful, or "not trying hard enough." Adult ADHD is real and treatable, and getting diagnosed later in life often brings enormous relief along with a plan that finally works.
Can ADHD look like anxiety or depression?
Very much so, and they often overlap. Untreated ADHD frequently causes anxiety and low mood from years of frustration, and anxiety or depression can also mimic ADHD's focus problems. Part of a thorough evaluation is untangling which is driving what, so treatment targets the real cause rather than just the most obvious symptom.
