Adult ADHD Treatment in Brandon

The first ADHD appointment costs $169 with a card on file when you book online, versus the $260 full price, so you save 35%. The card isn't charged at booking. After that, you pay $136 per monthly follow-up.

How do you get from Brandon to northwest Tampa?

Take Brandon Boulevard (SR 60) west past Brandon Exchange and get on the Lee Roy Selmon Expressway, use the Crosstown Connector to reach I-4 and then I-275, and leave I-275 near the airport for Memorial Highway and the Veterans Expressway north to Linebaugh Avenue. It's about 24 miles and roughly 37 minutes in light traffic.

The Selmon and the Veterans are both toll roads, and the interstates through Tampa back up at rush hour, so build in extra time if you drive in the morning or late afternoon.

Is the drive from Brandon worth it for ADHD care?

That depends on how you plan it. Only the first 30-minute visit has to happen at the Tampa clinic, so the long drive can be a one-time cost if telehealth follow-ups suit you.

Make the trip count. Pick a day when you aren't racing back for a meeting, and bring your medication list, any past evaluations or school records, and written questions. With about 37 minutes each way plus the visit, a two-hour window is realistic. Padgett is open weekdays 9 AM to 5 PM, and until 7 PM on Wednesdays.

What happens during that first appointment?

You meet with Morgan Colee, PA, who reviews your symptoms and how long they've been present, including childhood, how they affect work and home, your health history, current medications and any prior records. Neither a diagnosis nor a prescription is guaranteed going in.

If a controlled medication is considered, E-FORCSE, Florida's prescription drug monitoring program, is checked first. How adult ADHD is diagnosed goes through each part of the evaluation.

How do monthly follow-ups work from Brandon?

By video, most months, if you choose. Follow-ups are 15 minutes and $136, and you can join from home in Brandon as long as you're physically in Florida and show a valid Florida driver's license or state ID on camera.

Prescriptions, when your provider writes them, are filled at your own pharmacy, so you can keep using one near home on the Brandon side of the bay area. The medication isn't included in the visit fee. ADHD telehealth in Florida explains what to have ready for a video visit.

How do you get the most out of a 15-minute video visit from home?

Find a private room, charge your device and have your Florida ID in hand before the call starts. Jot down how the past month went, including sleep, appetite, mood and how your focus held up day to day, so the time goes to what matters most. In a busy household, pick a time when you won't be interrupted.

What if you work on the west side of Tampa?

Then the clinic may be closer to your job than to your house. If you work near Tampa International Airport or elsewhere in west or northwest Tampa, an in-person follow-up before or after work becomes realistic, and you can switch between that and telehealth month to month.

The same logic applies to the first visit. If you already commute west on the Selmon Expressway, booking the evaluation for a workday afternoon means most of the drive is one you're making anyway, and the trip home to Brandon is the only extra leg.

Do nearby communities face the same drive?

Mostly, yes. Valrico and Seffner, just east and north of Brandon, add a few minutes, and Riverview to the south is a similar distance. The plan is the same for all of them: one in-person evaluation in Tampa, then telehealth if it suits you.

College students with a valid college ID have their own new patient price on the college ADHD treatment page. Read more about adult ADHD treatment at Padgett, then book the one visit you'll drive in for.
