Call Dr. Gary Arthur on Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Blvd. in Tampa. He's a great guy, and smokes a pipe (love that smell). When I go for my follow-ups, I only pay about $70 which is way reasonable. Good luck!

I would like to suggest that you investigate the HANDLE Institute (see www.handle.org). In my experience, shrinks tend to medicate a person to mask their symptoms, and this may help the person cope but it really is not a true solution.

A HANDLE screener or practitioner could determine which of a person's systems were not fully supporting them, and give them a program of activities to strengthen and integrate their systems. It is gentle and effective (and drug-free!), and has made a world of difference for our family.

[jbtampa]

yup, and Travolta will vouch for it.........that's a scientologist, I freakin guarantee it..

[robbielyn]

BROWARD COUNTY:

Dr Armand Braun of Fort Lauderdale specializes in Adult ADD!
http://www.armandbraunmd.com/

I love this doc. I won't move too far away from him, ever.
He's the kind of doc an ADD'er looks for their whole life.

Focus seems to be Medication management. Seems to like to nail down how your brain lobes and chemistry are different and needing to be boosted, etc. He did mention that he was available for talk therapy but he totally gets when you have no "deep-seeded issues" and just need the right meds.

Here is his address:
2400 E Commercial Blvd, 7th floor, Fort Lauderdale, FL 33308
(954) 491 4455

ADD/ADHD Docs in the Palm Beach County/North Broward Area, Florida
updated 12/18/10

Pay "attention" to the info contained. Remember that a psychologist cannot prescribe medication and a psychiatrist only hears you for five minutes usually and starts writing scripts.

On a prescription side note: The state of Florida has an amazing prescription drug card program available to ALL residents at NO COST. ALL residents qualify regardless of income/insurance status. Every pharmacy takes it and offers a significant decrease to the cost of your medication. Sign up and print your card out here --> http://www.floridadiscountdrugcard.com/

An example: I paid $17.00 for a 60 20MG generic Adderall IR's at CVS yesterday. I'd call that significant compared to the $57.00 I had been paying!

Here's some additional physician resources available to the uninsured and low income:

www.scmhcinc.com
COST: Insurance and offers a sliding fee scale based on income ($3 minimum pay per visit)
Adult services include Psychiatric and Mental health counseling. For psychiatric care. Offers follow up monthly trips to their medication clinic (onsite pharmacy) to get refills at a sliding fee cost. Time from first outpatient screening to doctor visit is approx. 2-3 weeks.

FAMILY PHYSICIAN:

Dr. Peter Katz

561-737- 8434
Hours: Call, but you can pretty much just walk in during business hours and be seen right away.
COST: Insurance, $45.00 per visit
If you want a primary family physician with experience in the treatment of ADD/ADHD, don't want to sit and wait or be tortured by the third degree, and/or you need a doctor for your monthly medication, this is your man. Great for medicinal maintenance and affordable! My advice is to at least be sure to bring your medical records with you for ease during your visit.

[Andie]

Mods:
Please remove Dr. Katz from the above post. He's ill and has closed his practice indefinately....

(Now I have to find a new doctor who I can afford thx to no insurance)


Thanks!

I agree, great doc

I grew up in Orlando, so my memories aren't super great, but there is a Dr. JoAnn Cook in Orlando who may still specialize in children, but her office may be able to help you find someone. She was my very first pdoc, and even decades later, she still remembers me
