ADHD Evaluation in Medford, MA
Difficulty focusing, losing track of tasks or feeling constantly restless can have many causes. A careful ADHD evaluation separates ADHD from the conditions that mimic it, so treatment targets the real problem.
Psych Boston provides ADHD evaluation for patients in Medford, Massachusetts, from our office in Lexington and through secure telehealth. Medford is home to Tufts University students as well as many long-time families, so we see everything from first-time college evaluations to ongoing adult care.
Adhd evaluation for Medford patients: who it helps
People from Medford come to us for ADHD evaluation for many reasons, including:
- Children whose teachers report attention or behavior concerns
- Teens struggling with organization, deadlines or grades
- Adults with chronic procrastination, disorganization or missed deadlines
- People who were diagnosed as children and want a reassessment
- Patients wondering whether anxiety, mood or sleep issues explain their focus problems
What to expect
- History and rating scales: We gather developmental, school and work history and use validated ADHD rating scales — often including input from parents, teachers or a partner.
- Clinical interview: A detailed interview explores symptoms, when they began, how they affect daily life and other possible explanations.
- Screening for related conditions: Anxiety, depression, learning differences, substance use and sleep disorders are reviewed, because they often co-occur with or mimic ADHD.
- Results and treatment options: You receive a clear explanation and options that may include behavioral strategies, school or workplace accommodations, therapy referrals and, when appropriate, medication.

Frequently asked questions about ADHD evaluation in Medford
Do you have an office in Medford?
Our office is in Lexington at 35 Bedford Street. Medford patients typically reach Lexington in about 20 minutes via Route 60 and Massachusetts Avenue, or I-93 to Route 128. Many Medford patients also use secure telehealth, which is available to patients located in Massachusetts at the time of the visit when clinically appropriate.
Do you evaluate adults for ADHD?
Yes. We evaluate adults as well as children and adolescents.
Will I be prescribed stimulant medication?
Only if it is clinically appropriate after a full evaluation. Stimulants are controlled medications, so they require careful screening, regular follow-up and in some cases an in-person visit.
What should I bring?
Old report cards, prior evaluations or testing, and a list of current medications are all helpful. For children, teacher feedback is valuable.
Can I get ADHD evaluation by telehealth from Medford?
In many cases, yes. Medford residents can often complete visits by secure video from home or work in Massachusetts. Your clinician may recommend an in-office visit in Lexington when that would be more helpful.
Is this an emergency service?
No. If you or someone you know is in crisis, call or text 988 (Suicide & Crisis Lifeline) or call 911, or go to the nearest emergency department.
