Adult ADHD Treatment in Carrollwood

For Carrollwood adults, the new patient ADHD visit costs $169 when you book online and leave a card on file, which is 35% off the regular $260. Your card isn't charged at booking. Each monthly follow-up after that is $136.

How do you get to Padgett from Carrollwood?

Head north on Dale Mabry Highway to Linebaugh Avenue and turn west; the clinic is about 3 miles down Linebaugh, for a trip of about 4 miles and roughly 8 minutes without traffic. From the Carrollwood Village side, Four Oaks Road and Nixon Road lead down to Linebaugh in about the same time, about 4 miles and 9 minutes.

Dale Mabry is a different road at rush hour, so leave some slack if your appointment falls near the start or end of the workday. Because the trip is this short, you may find that an in-person follow-up feels more like an errand than an outing.

What happens at the first ADHD visit?

The first visit is a 30-minute evaluation in the exam room with Morgan Colee, PA, and Padgett always holds it in person, even if you plan to switch to telehealth later. You talk through your symptoms, how long you've had them, childhood included, how they show up at work and at home, your health history, current medications and any earlier records.

No diagnosis or prescription is decided before you walk in. If a controlled medication is considered, the provider first checks E-FORCSE, Florida's prescription drug monitoring program. Anything prescribed is filled at your own pharmacy, and the medication isn't included in the visit fee. How adult ADHD is diagnosed walks through the evaluation step by step.

What should a Carrollwood adult bring to the evaluation?

Bring a list of the medications you take, any past evaluations or school records you can find, and a few notes on where focus or follow-through breaks down for you. Since the evaluation asks about childhood, it can help to ask a parent or sibling what they remember from your school years.

Old report cards and teacher comments are worth a quick search if you still have them. If you don't, that's fine: explain what you remember clearly and what you're unsure about, and let the provider decide what else, if anything, is needed.

How does ADHD care fit around a Carrollwood week?

Padgett is open Monday to Friday, 9 AM to 5 PM, and stays open until 7 PM on Wednesdays. A parent working around school pickup can often fit a late-morning slot and still be back in time, and someone who works along the Dale Mabry corridor can use a Wednesday evening appointment instead of taking time off.

Before each monthly follow-up, jot down how the past few weeks went: the days that ran smoothly, the ones that didn't, and any changes in sleep, appetite or mood. A walk on the paved trail at Carrollwood Village Park, the county park built on the site of the former Dale Mabry Wastewater Treatment Plant, or a loop near Lake Carroll is as good a time as any to think it through.

When does telehealth make sense from Carrollwood?

Telehealth makes sense when getting in the car costs more time than the visit itself, such as a day stuck at your desk or a sick child at home. A video follow-up is the same 15 minutes and the same $136 as one in the exam room.

Two rules apply: you must be physically in Florida during the call, and you show a valid Florida driver's license or state ID on camera. If you'll be out of state on your usual follow-up date, come in person before you leave. ADHD telehealth in Florida covers the details.

Which nearby neighborhoods are also close to the clinic?

Northdale, Lake Magdalene and Citrus Park are all a short drive away. Citrus Park is closer still, about 6 minutes via Gunn Highway and the Veterans Expressway, and Northdale residents can reach Linebaugh by coming south on Dale Mabry.

Students at a Florida college have their own new patient rate, explained on the college ADHD treatment page. Everyone else can read more about adult ADHD treatment at Padgett, then book the first visit online.
