Adult ADHD Treatment in Oldsmar

For new patients, the first visit is $169 when you book online with a card on file, 35% off the $260 regular price. The card is saved, not charged, at booking, and follow-ups are $136 a month with no contract. The details are on the adult ADHD and ADD treatment page.

How do you get from Oldsmar to the clinic?

From central Oldsmar, take Tampa Road (SR 584) a short way to Commerce Boulevard, follow Forest Lakes Boulevard to Linebaugh Avenue, and stay on Linebaugh east for about 5.5 miles to number 6904. The whole trip is about 9 miles and 17 minutes without traffic, and it uses no toll road.

Linebaugh runs past Westchase on the way, so the last stretch can slow down when school starts or lets out and at the evening commute. For an early-morning or late-afternoon appointment, leave some extra time.

Does crossing into Hillsborough County change anything?

No. Oldsmar is in Pinellas County and the clinic is in Hillsborough, but Padgett sees Florida patients wherever they live. Every new ADHD patient has the first visit in person in Tampa, and telehealth follow-ups depend on where you are during the call, not on your county.

For a video follow-up, you need to be physically in Florida and show a valid Florida driver's license or state ID on camera. The follow-up is 15 minutes with Morgan Colee, PA, and costs $136, the same as sitting in the exam room.

What does the 30-minute evaluation cover?

Expect questions about what your symptoms are and when they began, back into childhood, where they cause the most trouble, whether at work or at home, plus your health history, current medications and any records you bring. Bring a photo ID and your medication list as well. How adult ADHD is diagnosed walks through each part.

Going in, nothing is promised: not a diagnosis, not a prescription. Florida law requires a check of E-FORCSE, the state's prescription drug monitoring program, before a controlled medication is prescribed, and Padgett follows it. Any prescription is filled at the pharmacy you choose and paid for separately from the visit.

Why does sleep come up in an ADHD visit?

Sleep comes up because short or broken sleep can blur attention on its own, and sleep problems are common in adults who do have ADHD: they affect up to 70% of them, according to the National Institute of Mental Health.

Locally, the CDC's PLACES estimates put 36.2% of Oldsmar adults at usually getting less than 7 hours of sleep in a 24-hour period. It's a model-based community figure, not a measure of any one person, but it's a reminder to mention your own sleep.

Keep a simple sleep log for the week before your visit: when you went to bed, when you got up, and how rested you felt. It gives the provider something concrete, and ADHD and sleep explains why the two are so often tangled together.

When is telehealth the better choice from Oldsmar?

Telehealth wins whenever a 15-minute check-in isn't worth roughly 35 minutes of round-trip driving, which may be most months. In-person follow-ups stay available whenever you'd rather come in, and you can switch from one month to the next.

Where can you walk off a long week in Oldsmar?

R.E. Olds Park on Shore Drive West is a waterfront park with a fishing pier, a kayak launch and trails, and it's home to the Elizabeth J. Smith Amphitheater, per the City of Oldsmar.

Mobbly Bayou Preserve covers 396 acres at the north end of Upper Tampa Bay, with hiking trails, a fishing pier and an observation platform, according to Pinellas County. Either one makes a good place to think through how the month went before a follow-up.

For the paperwork side, the Oldsmar Public Library at 400 St. Petersburg Drive East has study rooms, computers and Wi-Fi, a quiet spot to print a medication list or pull old records together before the drive.

Which nearby areas share this drive?

Westchase, which Linebaugh passes on the way, is about 8 minutes from the clinic, and Town 'N' Country about 9. Citrus Park is closer still at 6. Oldsmar sits a little farther out than any of them.

Book the first visit online, or call (813) 888-7710 for a free 15-minute phone consultation with the medical staff first. That call is for questions only and is not a provider visit, so no prescription comes from it.
