Do you diagnose ADHD in children and adults in Surprise?

We evaluate everyone from age 6 through adulthood in Surprise. Many Valley of the Sun adults discover in their 30s, 40s, or even later that ADHD explains challenges they have dealt with their entire lives. Our providers specialize in identifying it at any age.

Why should I choose ADHD One for ADHD care in Surprise?

ADHD One was purpose-built for patients in Surprise and across Arizona who are tired of long waits and generic care. We do one thing exceptionally well: ADHD check-up and treatment. That singular focus means Valley of the Sun patients get better outcomes faster.

How soon can I be seen for an ADHD check-up in Surprise?

We see most new Surprise patients within the same week. Our scheduling system was built to eliminate the long waits that are standard at other practices across Valley of the Sun. Pick a time that works and we will get you in fast.

Is ADHD treatment covered by my insurance in Arizona?

Yes. We accept most major insurance plans serving Surprise and Arizona. ADHD check-ups are billed as standard mental health visits, so Surprise patients pay their normal specialist copay -- typically $20 to $75. We also offer affordable self-pay rates.

What if I do not have ADHD after my Surprise check-up?

For Surprise patients whose check-up does not confirm ADHD, the appointment is not wasted. Your provider identifies what IS going on -- often anxiety, depression, or another condition common in Valley of the Sun -- and points you toward the right help.

ADHD Treatment in Surprise, AZ

ADHD Doesn't Retire When You Do

Surprise is a mix. Young families building new lives. Retirees from Sun City and Sun City West enjoying what they have earned. And a whole lot of people who have been pushing through something their entire lives without knowing what it was.

Here is what nobody talks about: ADHD does not go away when you stop working. In fact, for many people, retirement makes it worse.

Think about it. Your job gave you structure. Deadlines. A schedule. Someone telling you what to do next. Take that away, and the ADHD brain has nothing to hold onto. Suddenly you can't finish a book. You lose track of days. You forget appointments. You start projects around the house and abandon them halfway through.

Why ADHD Gets Found Late in Life

If you are in your 50s, 60s, or 70s, nobody checked you for ADHD when you were a kid. The diagnosis barely existed. You were just "scattered" or "unfocused" or "not living up to your potential."

You found your own systems. Maybe you married someone organized. Maybe your career gave you enough adrenaline to stay on track. Maybe you just white-knuckled your way through decades of chaos and called it normal.

But now the structure is gone. And what is left is the raw, unmasked version of your brain. It has always been this way. You just never had the space to see it.

It Is Not Just "Getting Older"

This is the biggest trap. People in Surprise and the Sun Cities chalk up their struggles to aging. "My memory is going." "I can't focus like I used to." "I guess this is just what getting old feels like."

But there is a difference between age-related memory changes and ADHD. With aging, you forget where you put your glasses. With ADHD, you forget you own glasses. You have trouble with time, with planning, with finishing what you start -- and you have had that trouble your whole life.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can you be diagnosed with ADHD after age 60?

Yes. There is no age limit for an ADHD diagnosis. Many adults in their 60s and 70s get diagnosed for the first time. The symptoms were always there -- life just covered them up.

How do I know if it is ADHD or just aging?

The key question is: have you always been this way? Age-related changes are new. ADHD has been with you since childhood -- even if you did not have a name for it. A provider can help sort out the difference.

Is ADHD medication safe for older adults?

Many ADHD medications are safe for older adults. Your provider will review your health history, current medications, and any conditions like high blood pressure before recommending anything. Safety always comes first.

I am retired. Why would I need ADHD treatment now?

Because your quality of life matters at every age. ADHD affects relationships, hobbies, health habits, and daily enjoyment. Treatment can help you finally feel in control instead of constantly scattered.

Do you accept Medicare?

Insurance coverage varies. Call (855) 468-2343 and we will check your specific plan before your first visit so you know exactly what to expect.
