Adult ADHD Treatment in New Tampa

When you book the new patient visit online with a card on file, the price drops to $169, 35% off $260, and you're not charged anything at booking. Every follow-up after that is $136.

New Tampa is part of Tampa, so why is the drive so long?

Because New Tampa sits at the far northeast end of the city, and the clinic is in the northwest. From Tampa Palms, drive south on Bruce B. Downs Boulevard, go west on Fletcher Avenue along the north edge of the USF campus, turn south on Dale Mabry Highway, then go west on Linebaugh Avenue. It's about 14 miles and 26 minutes in light traffic.

From farther north along Bruce B. Downs, toward Commerce Park Boulevard, count on closer to 16 miles and 29 minutes. Bruce B. Downs and Fletcher both slow down at rush hour, so a mid-day slot is the smoother choice.

How do you fit the first visit around a New Tampa household?

Treat it as a real block of time: roughly 26 minutes each way plus the 30-minute evaluation adds up to about an hour and a half. The clinic's hours are 9 AM to 5 PM Monday through Friday, stretching to 7 PM on Wednesdays.

Between school runs in Tampa Palms, Hunter's Green or Cross Creek, practices at New Tampa Community Park and weekend rides on the Flatwoods Conservation Park loop, family calendars here fill up. If home is where things tend to fall through the cracks, that's worth describing at the visit; the evaluation asks about home life as well as work.

What does the provider ask about at the evaluation?

Morgan Colee, PA, asks about your symptoms, how long you've had them, including childhood, how they affect work and home, your health history, current medications and any prior records. The visit is 30 minutes and always in person for new patients.

Bring a medication list and any earlier records with you, since a second drive across town just to drop off paperwork is a trip worth avoiding. If you can, ask a parent or older relative beforehand what they remember about your school years. If two adults in your home are both considering an evaluation, each needs a new patient visit of their own.

Nothing is promised ahead of time, neither a diagnosis nor a prescription. If treatment makes sense, the options may include stimulant or non-stimulant medication, chosen together, and non-medication strategies. E-FORCSE, Florida's prescription drug monitoring program, is always checked before a controlled medication is prescribed. See adult ADHD symptoms for examples worth bringing.

How do follow-ups work once you're back home in New Tampa?

Most months, you can stay home. Follow-ups are 15 minutes at $136, and they can be by video as long as you're physically in Florida and show a valid Florida driver's license or state ID on camera.

If you're already over on the northwest side for work or errands, an in-person follow-up costs the same, and you can mix the two. Prescriptions go to your own pharmacy, so choose one along Bruce B. Downs or wherever is handy; the medication is separate from the visit fee. ADHD telehealth in Florida explains how the video visits work.

Pick a regular time for video visits, such as a lunch break on the same weekday each month, and set a reminder the day before. Follow-ups are required to stay on treatment, and a steady slot makes them easier to keep.

Which nearby communities are also served?

Wesley Chapel, just north across the Pasco County line, is about 29 minutes from the clinic by I-75 and I-275. Temple Terrace, to the south, is closer at about 20 minutes along Busch Boulevard. Lutz, to the west, is about 22 minutes by the Veterans Expressway.
