With close to 177,000 residents, Pembroke Pines is one of Broward County’s largest cities, and plenty of adults and students there manage attention challenges quietly. Evaluation and care here are meant to reach all of them, at any age, and Michael Hernandez, APRN, PMHNP-BC leads every evaluation himself.
ADHD Evaluation for Pembroke Pines Residents
An ADHD evaluation starts by mapping your history against the moments where focus and follow-through tend to slip, whether at work, in class, or at home. When it adds value, Michael uses QbTest, an FDA-cleared computerized ADHD assessment completed in person at the Cooper City office.
That objective data helps tell ADHD apart from things that can look similar, like anxiety, stress, or sleep problems, so the plan that follows fits what is actually going on.
