Adult ADHD Treatment in Citrus Park

Here's the cost up front: the new patient visit is $169 if you reserve it online with a card on file, a 35% discount from $260. Booking itself doesn't charge anything, and follow-ups run $136 a month.

What's the quickest route from Citrus Park?

From the mall at Gunn Highway and the Veterans Expressway, take the Veterans south one exit to Linebaugh Avenue, then head east a little over half a mile to 6904 W. Linebaugh Ave. It's about 3.6 miles and around 6 minutes without traffic.

The Veterans is a toll road, so the quickest trip goes on your SunPass or a toll-by-plate bill. If you'd rather skip the toll, surface streets will get you there too; let your map app pick the best one for the time you leave.

When the clinic is this close, what's the real scheduling question?

The real question is which 30 minutes you can protect, because the drive barely registers. The first visit has to happen in person, and Padgett is open Monday to Friday, 9 AM to 5 PM, with Wednesdays running until 7 PM.

One practical move: book the first visit on the day you decide to, while it's on your mind, and set two phone reminders, one the night before and one an hour ahead. From Citrus Park, an hour's notice is more than enough to make it.

Wednesday's later hours help here too. With the clinic open until 7 PM that day, you can finish a full workday, get home, and still make an early-evening appointment a few minutes down the road.

How does the first visit work at the Linebaugh clinic?

You sit down with Morgan Colee, PA, for a 30-minute evaluation. It covers your symptoms and how long you've had them, going back to childhood, how they affect work and home, your health history, current medications and prior records.

If you were evaluated or treated for ADHD before, bring whatever records you have; they're part of what the provider reviews. Still, no diagnosis or prescription is promised ahead of time. For a fuller picture of the visit, read what happens at an adult ADHD evaluation.

What should you know about medication and pharmacies?

If medication becomes part of your plan, the prescription is filled at whichever pharmacy you choose, and its cost is separate from Padgett's visit fees. Before prescribing any controlled medication, the provider checks E-FORCSE, the Florida database of controlled-substance prescriptions.

Treatment options can include stimulant or non-stimulant medication, chosen together with your provider, as well as strategies that don't involve medication. Which of these, if any, fits you is worked out at the visit, not decided in advance.

Is telehealth worth it when you live six minutes away?

Sometimes, yes. A video follow-up saves the drive entirely, which helps on days when your schedule is packed back to back, or when you'd simply rather not leave the house.

Follow-ups are 15 minutes and $136 whichever way you choose. For telehealth, you need to be physically in Florida and show a valid Florida driver's license or state ID on camera. ADHD telehealth in Florida explains what else to prepare.

Living this close also gives you an easy fallback. If your internet is down or the house is too noisy on the day, book that month's follow-up as an in-person visit instead and drive over; the price and the 15 minutes don't change.

Who else nearby has a short drive?

Keystone, up Gunn Highway to the northwest, Westchase to the west and Carrollwood to the east all have short drives. Westchase residents come straight down Linebaugh in about 8 minutes, and central Carrollwood is about the same.

The Upper Tampa Bay Trail ties this corner of the county together too, running north from its Channel Park trailhead on Waters Avenue up to Peterson Road Park.

A separate new patient rate applies to college students with a valid college ID; see the college ADHD treatment page. For the full picture of adult care, visit adult ADHD treatment at Padgett, or go ahead and book your visit six minutes from home.
