ADHD Testing & Treatment in Dania Beach, FL
Twelve Oaks Psychiatry provides ADHD testing and treatment for children, teens, and adults, in person at our Cooper City office a short drive west of Dania Beach and by telehealth across Florida. Dania Beach was incorporated in 1904, making it one of Broward County’s earliest communities, and in a smaller coastal city a nearby option for ADHD evaluation and follow-up can be hard to find. Michael Hernandez, APRN, PMHNP-BC handles every evaluation personally.
ADHD Evaluation for Dania Beach Residents
An ADHD evaluation begins with an unhurried look at your history and how focus, follow-through, and organization are affecting daily life. When it adds value, Michael uses QbTest, an FDA-cleared computerized ADHD assessment performed in person at the Cooper City office.
That extra layer of objective data helps separate ADHD from things that can mimic it, such as poor sleep, stress, or anxiety, so the plan that follows fits what is actually going on.
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 understand how attention is showing up before talking through any plan.
Dania Beach residents can complete the in-office testing during a short trip west on Griffin Road, while much of the conversation and follow-up can take place by telehealth when that is more convenient.

How far is Twelve Oaks Psychiatry from Dania Beach?

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 I get an ADHD evaluation without a long drive from Dania Beach?
Often, yes. Much of an ADHD evaluation can be done by telehealth across Florida, which limits driving. QbTest, the in-person computerized assessment, is completed during a short visit to the Cooper City office, about 15 to 20 minutes away, when it is recommended.
Do you evaluate adults who were never diagnosed as children?
Yes. Many people are first evaluated for ADHD as adults, after noticing long-standing patterns with focus, deadlines, or organization. Michael provides adult ADHD evaluations in person or by telehealth, with time to review your history and current concerns before discussing any options.
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.
How does QbTest support an ADHD diagnosis?
QbTest is an FDA-cleared computerized assessment that measures attention, impulsivity, and activity during a set task. It adds objective data alongside the clinical interview, helping inform the overall picture. It supports, rather than replaces, the evaluation Michael completes with each person.
Can ADHD care be handled by telehealth?
Much of it, yes. Evaluations, follow-ups, and medication management visits can happen by secure video anywhere in Florida. QbTest is completed in person at the Cooper City office, and Michael will explain which visits work best each way.
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.
