ADHD Testing & Treatment in Hollywood, FL
Twelve Oaks Psychiatry provides ADHD testing and treatment for children, teens, and adults, in person at our Cooper City office west of Hollywood and by telehealth across Florida. Hollywood packs roughly 157,000 residents into about 27 square miles, one of the densest coastal cities in Broward, and in a place this busy the aim is simple: an unhurried evaluation close to home or by video. Michael Hernandez, APRN, PMHNP-BC personally leads each evaluation.
ADHD Evaluation for Hollywood Residents
An ADHD evaluation here means real time spent on your history and how attention, focus, and follow-through affect your day. Where it helps, Michael uses QbTest, an FDA-cleared computerized ADHD assessment completed in person at the Cooper City office.
That objective data helps distinguish ADHD from conditions that can resemble it, like anxiety or disrupted sleep, so the plan is built on a clear picture rather than a guess.
Why Choose Twelve Oaks Psychiatry
Choosing the right provider matters, and at Twelve Oaks Psychiatry every evaluation is led personally by Michael Hernandez, APRN, PMHNP-BC, a board-certified psychiatric nurse practitioner who takes time to listen and never rushes a visit.

FAQ
How far is Twelve Oaks Psychiatry from Hollywood?
The Cooper City office at 10400 Griffin Rd is west of Hollywood, roughly 20 to 30 minutes by car depending on traffic, via Griffin Road west or I-595. Because Hollywood streets stay busy, late-afternoon trips tend toward the longer end, so plan a little extra time.
What happens at the first ADHD appointment?
The first visit is a focused conversation about your attention, history, and how daily tasks are going at school, work, or home. Michael reviews your concerns, may recommend QbTest, and talks through next steps. There is time to ask questions before any plan is discussed.
Can Hollywood residents do an ADHD evaluation by telehealth?
Much of it, yes. The clinical interview and follow-up can be done by telehealth across Florida. QbTest, the FDA-cleared computerized assessment, is completed in person at the Cooper City office when it is recommended, so most Hollywood residents combine one short visit with video appointments.
Is telehealth a good option for ADHD follow-up?
Yes. Telehealth works well for many ADHD follow-up visits, including medication check-ins and plan adjustments, and it is available across Florida. The one part done in person is QbTest at the Cooper City office. Blending the two often makes ongoing care easier to keep up.
What is the difference between stimulant and non-stimulant ADHD medication?
Stimulant and non-stimulant medications work through different mechanisms and suit different people. Which one fits depends on your history, health, and response over time. Michael reviews the tradeoffs individually during your visit, so any decision is informed and specific to you rather than automatic.
Do you evaluate children and teens for ADHD?
Yes. ADHD evaluation and treatment are available for children and adolescents, with parents involved in every step. Evaluations look at how attention shows up at school and at home, and treatment plans are built around each child’s age and needs.
Can adults be evaluated for ADHD?
Yes. Many adults reach out after years of struggling with focus, organization, or follow-through at work and home. An adult evaluation covers your history and current challenges, and distinguishes ADHD from stress, anxiety, or sleep issues that can look similar.
Do you accept insurance for ADHD testing?
Yes. Twelve Oaks Psychiatry accepts most major insurance plans, including Blue Cross Blue Shield, Aetna, Cigna, UnitedHealthcare, AvMed, and 200+ additional plans. Because coverage varies by plan, it is worth confirming your benefits with your insurer before the first visit.
Are same-day appointments available?
Often, yes. The office keeps same-day openings Monday through Friday, 10am to 6pm, for both in-person and telehealth visits. Call (954) 947-1130 to check availability, and appointments can be scheduled up to two hours before the visit.
What should I do in a mental health crisis?
If you feel you might harm yourself or someone else, or you are in immediate danger, call 9-1-1 right away. For crisis support, you can reach the Suicide and Crisis Lifeline by calling or texting 988. In many Florida communities, 2-1-1 connects you to crisis information and local referrals.
