Life and Care in Summerville

About four in five working Dorchester County residents commute to jobs outside the county. Long commutes leave less time for appointments, so video visits from home or work can help.

Summerville grew 17 percent between 2010 and 2020 to more than 50,000 residents, the seventh-largest city in South Carolina. Fast growth brings new neighbors, heavier traffic and rising costs, and many people are building their support networks from scratch.

Summerville's economy centers on boat and vehicle manufacturing and commuting to the Charleston metro.

How ADHD Evaluation and Treatment Works

Your first visit is a full evaluation by secure video. Your provider reviews your symptoms, your history back to childhood, how attention problems affect your work and home life, and other conditions that can look like ADHD, such as anxiety, depression and poor sleep.

If you have not completed a formal ADHD evaluation or testing before, our practice requires objective ADHD testing before ADHD treatment can begin. The testing is a separate computerized assessment of the three core symptoms of ADHD: attention, activity and impulsivity. It is completed online as part of your evaluation, usually before your virtual visit with your provider, on a third-party, web-based, FDA-cleared ADHD assessment platform. It gives your provider objective data from validated testing to aid the diagnosis, but on its own it is not enough to diagnose ADHD. ADHD testing is self-pay and not covered by insurance; our front desk will tell you the cost when you schedule. Your visits with your provider may be billed to your insurance according to your plan benefits.

Treatment is built with you and can include medication when clinically appropriate, counseling for organization and coping strategies, and regular follow-up.

Insurance and Scheduling

We accept Medicare, most major commercial plans, and all South Carolina Medicaid managed care plans except Select Health (First Choice). New patients are often able to be scheduled within a week of requesting an appointment.
