3-Month Wait Lists Aren't Normal. They're a Problem.
You finally decided to get evaluated. You called your doctor. They said they don't do ADHD evaluations. Try a psychiatrist.
So you called a psychiatrist. The next opening? Three months out. Maybe four.
That's not just frustrating. It's a real problem. Three months is 90 days of forgetting things at work. 90 days of fights with your partner about stuff you said you'd do. 90 days of wondering what's wrong with you.
The Triad has a psychiatrist shortage. The whole state does. North Carolina ranks near the bottom for mental health provider access. And ADHD patients feel it more than most -- because the thing you need help with (planning ahead, following through) is the same thing that makes it hard to jump through hoops to get help.
You Shouldn't Have to Fight the System to Get Care
Here's what getting ADHD care usually looks like in Greensboro:
You call your PCP. They refer you out. You call the referral. They're booked. You call another place. Also booked. You Google "ADHD doctor Greensboro" and find a list of providers -- half of them aren't taking new patients.
By the time you finally get an appointment, you've spent weeks just trying to get in the door. And the whole time, your ADHD is making it harder to keep track of the calls, the referrals, and the paperwork.
It shouldn't be this hard. And with ADHD One, it isn't.
How ADHD One Works
No referral. No waiting list. No driving to an office on Battleground Ave and sitting in a waiting room for 45 minutes.
Step 1: Reach out. Call (855) 468-2343 or fill out the form on this page. That's it. No referral needed.
Step 2: Meet your provider. A licensed psychiatric provider meets with you by video. They want to know your story -- not just your symptoms. The conversation covers your history, what's hard right now, and what you've already tried. Here's what the evaluation includes and what it costs.
Step 3: Get a real plan. If it's ADHD, your provider walks you through treatment options. You'll know exactly what to expect. Want to understand which types of providers are qualified to diagnose and prescribe? We explain that too.
Most patients are seen within days, not months. Some are seen the same day.
Think You Might Have ADHD?
Don't wait 3 months to find out. Our free screening takes 2 minutes and uses the same tool doctors use.
Take the Free ADHD TestWhy So Many Adults in the Triad Are Getting Diagnosed Now
ADHD isn't new. But awareness is growing -- especially among adults who were missed as kids.
Maybe you were the "smart but lazy" kid. Maybe teachers said you had "so much potential." Maybe you got through school okay but life after school felt like everything got harder for no reason.
That's a common ADHD story. And it's especially common in women, who are diagnosed at much lower rates than men even though they have ADHD just as often.
If you're in your 30s or 40s and finally wondering if ADHD explains a lot of things -- you're not alone. And you're not too late.
Medication Options
If your provider recommends medication, you'll have choices. There's no one-size-fits-all pill for ADHD.
Some people do best with stimulant medications like Adderall or Vyvanse. Others do better with non-stimulant medications that work differently in the brain. Your provider helps you figure out which one fits your body, your schedule, and your goals.
And once you're on a medication that works, keeping up with refills is simple. No more chasing down your doctor's office every month.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need a referral from my doctor to be seen?
No. You can reach out to us directly. No referral needed from your PCP or anyone else. Just call or fill out the form and we'll schedule your check-up.
How long is the wait for a new patient in North Carolina?
Most new patients are seen within a few days. Many are seen the same day or next day. That's a big difference from the 2--4 month waits common at brick-and-mortar practices in the Triad.
Is this real mental health care or just a screening service?
This is real mental health care. Our providers are licensed to diagnose ADHD and prescribe medication, including controlled substances when clinically right. We also provide ongoing medication care -- not just a one-time check-up.
What insurance do you accept in North Carolina?
We accept several major insurance plans in North Carolina. Contact us and we'll verify your coverage before your first appointment.
Can I get Adderall prescribed through a video appointment?
Yes. If your provider determines that a stimulant medication is clinically right after your check-up, they can prescribe it during your appointment. Here's how the process works to get started quickly.
