Approach to care
Adult ADHD rarely looks the same in two people, and it often overlaps with anxiety, low mood, sleep problems or stress. Dr. Shershow's approach starts with a careful evaluation to understand what is actually driving your difficulties before any treatment is recommended.
Treatment is individualized. For many adults it includes modern ADHD medication, chosen and adjusted with your medical history and goals in mind, and monitored at regular follow-up visits. Every patient begins with an initial consultation, and most continue with ongoing follow-up.
Dr. Shershow aims to keep care affordable by keeping charges for both the initial evaluation and follow-up appointments as low as possible.
