ADHD Testing & Treatment in Weston, FL
Twelve Oaks Psychiatry provides ADHD testing and treatment for children, teens, and adults, in person at our Cooper City office a short drive east of Weston and by telehealth across Florida. Weston is one of Broward’s most family-centered communities, with more than a quarter of residents under 18, and while attention differences often first appear during the school years, care here is for every age. Michael Hernandez, APRN, PMHNP-BC leads each evaluation personally.
ADHD Evaluation for Weston Residents
An ADHD evaluation begins with time spent understanding a child’s or adult’s attention, schoolwork, and home routines, and where things consistently break down. When it helps, Michael adds QbTest, an FDA-cleared computerized ADHD assessment done in person at the Cooper City office.
That objective data helps separate ADHD from anxiety, sleep issues, or stress that can look similar, 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 listen and never rushes a visit.

FAQ
How far is Twelve Oaks Psychiatry from Weston?
The Cooper City office at 10400 Griffin Rd is about 15 to 20 minutes from most of Weston, traveling east on Griffin Road or south on I-75 to Griffin Road. Drive time can run longer during weekday afternoon traffic, so plan a little extra for late-day appointments.
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.
Do you evaluate children for ADHD?
Yes. The practice evaluates children, teens, and adults for ADHD, which fits Weston’s large under-18 population. Evaluations can involve QbTest in person at the Cooper City office, with parts of the visit and follow-up available by telehealth. Mention at booking that the appointment is for a child.
Does QbTest work for adults?
Yes. QbTest is used with adults as well as older children and teens. It is an FDA-cleared computerized assessment that measures attention and activity, adding objective data to the clinical interview. For adults exploring an ADHD evaluation, it is one helpful part of the fuller assessment.
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 see teens for ADHD?
Yes. Support for adolescents covers school demands, organization, and follow-through, with parents involved in every step. Teen visits can happen in person in Cooper City or by telehealth, and plans are adjusted as school terms change.
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.
Can Weston residents book a same-day ADHD appointment?
Often, yes. Same-day appointments are frequently available, sometimes up to two hours before the time slot, by phone at (954) 947-1130. Same-day access depends on the daily schedule, so calling early in the day gives Weston residents the best chance of being seen.
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.
