The services at Attention MD are designed for the needs of patients and families with attention disorders and the resulting life challenges.
Our services include:
Diagnosis of attention disorders
Our diagnostic procedures are timely selective, thorough and cost-effective. Most patients complete diagnosis
2 to 4 weeks from their first call to Attention MD. Computerized
testing is used, but an
extensive personal history is still the most important piece of the
diagnostic pathway in state-of-the-art care.
Diagnosis of accompanying disorders
Many children and adults have additional issues that complicate their
lives. Children often have anxiety, oppositional behavior, school and
learning disorders, autism/Asperger's symptoms, depression or mood disorders. Adult ADD/ADHD can be
accompanied by depression, anxiety disorders, relationship problems,
addiction and job struggles. At Attention MD, we diagnose and treat
all the conditions that hamper our patients' success.
Care plan management
Treatment of ADD/ADHD is multi-disciplinary--it involves
parents, family, teachers/employers, counselors, physicians and
caretakers working together for best results. Helping you choose the
participants in this care plan and guiding their efforts is our
specialty.
Medication management
Medication cannot cure ADD/ADHD, but skillfully used medications
strengthen the mental efforts of the one with ADD/ADHD and improve
long-term outcomes better than any other treatment introduced to date.
When controlled medications are needed, we take pains to reduce the
inconveniences associated with these prescriptions.
Counseling services
Physician counseling is available with Dr. Mason if requested. In
addition, we maintain a wide referral network of psychologists,
therapists, educators, pastoral/spiritual counselors, organizational
specialists who specialize in working with attentional disorders.
Disability services
We can provide medical documentation for student academic services, testing accommodations or waivers and workplace modifications performed for ADA (Americans with Disabilities Act) compliance.
A word about insurance companies:
Attention MD does not participate with insurance companies; instead we work hard to help you claim your reimbursement from them. This practice eliminates the single largest overhead expense of a typical medical office and has helped us maintain our low cost structure. We provide insurance-industry standard forms that make it very simple for you to submit your bills to your carrier. Most of our patients have found it surprisingly simple to claim their own reimbursement with the help we provide.
