How do ADHD appointments work for Lakewood patients?

Lakewood patients have their appointments from the comfort of home. You do not need to drive anywhere in Denver metro or deal with long waits. Log in from home, complete your check-up, and if medication is prescribed, it goes straight to your local pharmacy.

What happens if my check-up in Lakewood does not show ADHD?

A check-up that rules out ADHD is still a win for Lakewood patients. Many people in Denver metro find out their symptoms come from anxiety, depression, sleep issues, or a combination. Your provider gives you a clear answer and a clear next step.

Do I need a referral to see an ADHD provider serving Lakewood?

No referral required for anyone in Lakewood or anywhere in Colorado. Just go to our website, pick a time, and schedule. We removed the referral step because it is the number one reason Denver metro patients delay getting evaluated.

Will I receive a prescription during my Lakewood check-up?

If your provider confirms ADHD and determines medication is right, yes -- many Lakewood patients leave their first appointment with a prescription sent to their pharmacy right in Denver metro. Your provider discusses options and finds the right starting point for you.

How is ADHD One different from other providers in Lakewood?

Most practices in Denver metro treat ADHD as one of many conditions. We built our entire practice around it. Lakewood patients get shorter wait times, deeper expertise, and a treatment approach designed specifically for ADHD. Our providers do not spread themselves thin.

ADHD Treatment in Lakewood, CO

Lakewood sits right on Denver's western edge, a city of 160,000 people who chose to live close enough to the metro to work there but far enough away to breathe. Green Mountain trails in the morning, Belmar shops on the weekend, and the foothills just a few minutes west. It is a good place to live -- unless your brain makes it impossible to enjoy any of it because you are always behind on something.

That is what undiagnosed ADHD does. It does not take away your ability to appreciate your life. It takes away your ability to keep up with it. The mortgage paperwork sits on the counter for three weeks. The hiking gear you bought last month is still in the box. You promised your partner you would handle dinner reservations and forgot for the fourth time. None of this is a character flaw. It is a brain that is not getting the support it needs.

Lakewood Is Underserved for ADHD Care

The Denver metro has plenty of psychiatrists, but most of them are concentrated in central Denver, Cherry Creek, and the Tech Center corridor. Lakewood and the surrounding west-side communities -- Wheat Ridge, Edgewater, Golden, Morrison -- are not exactly overflowing with ADHD specialists.

And even when you find a provider, wait times in the Denver area are brutal. Three months to get an appointment is common. For someone with ADHD, being told to wait three months and then remember to show up is almost a cruel joke. That is the exact kind of task ADHD makes nearly impossible.

ADHD One removes that barrier. Our providers specialize in adult ADHD and have appointments available the same week you reach out. No waitlist. No runaround.

How the Evaluation Works

Your first appointment is a real clinical evaluation -- 45 to 60 minutes with a provider who knows what they are looking for:

Symptom assessment -- focus, attention span, working memory, time perception, emotional reactivity
Developmental history -- ADHD is present from childhood, even if it was never caught
Comorbidity screening -- anxiety, depression, and sleep disorders frequently coexist with ADHD and need to be identified
Daily functioning -- how symptoms interfere with your job, your home life, your relationships
Safety check -- medical history review to ensure any medication prescribed is safe for you

After the evaluation, if ADHD is confirmed, you and your provider decide on next steps together. Most adults benefit from medication. Your provider will recommend the option that fits your symptoms, your lifestyle, and your goals -- not a one-size-fits-all prescription.

Staying on Track After Diagnosis

Diagnosis is step one. Optimizing your treatment is where the real work happens. ADHD medication is not like an antibiotic where you take it for ten days and you are done. It is ongoing. The first dose is rarely the final dose. Your provider will check in regularly to adjust, troubleshoot, and make sure you are getting real results.

We also offer GeneSight testing for patients who want data-driven medication matching. It identifies how your genetics affect your response to common psychiatric medications, which can save weeks of trial-and-error.
