Our Approach in Phoenix

Why Focus Problems Need Medical Investigation

Many Phoenix residents struggle with focus, concentration, and productivity—and assume it must be ADHD. But research shows that 40% of "treatment-resistant" ADHD cases have undiagnosed medical conditions driving symptoms.

Before diagnosing ADHD, we investigate whether thyroid dysfunction, iron deficiency, sleep disorders, or other medical factors are causing your symptoms. Many ADHD-like symptoms overlap with anxiety and depression. Through our comprehensive psychiatric evaluation, we identify root causes. When these conditions are treated, many patients experience significant improvement—and our medication management ensures optimal outcomes.

With 19 years of ICU experience managing complex medical cases, I bring diagnostic rigor to psychiatric care. Your evaluation includes comprehensive lab work and medical assessment—not just a symptom checklist.

Common Questions

ADHD Evaluation FAQs for Phoenix Patients

What makes ADHD evaluation at Horizon Peak Health different from other Phoenix providers?

Unlike standard ADHD assessments that rely primarily on symptom checklists, our approach includes comprehensive lab work to identify medical conditions that mimic ADHD—such as thyroid dysfunction, iron deficiency, vitamin deficiencies, and sleep disorders. With 19 years of ICU medical experience, we bring diagnostic rigor to psychiatric care, ensuring you get the right diagnosis and treatment.

How long does an ADHD evaluation take in Phoenix?

Your initial evaluation is 75-90 minutes. This thorough assessment includes reviewing your medical history, discussing your symptoms in detail, and ordering appropriate lab work. We don't rush through appointments—complex cases require time to investigate properly.

Do you accept insurance for ADHD treatment in Phoenix?

Yes, we accept most major insurance plans including Aetna, Blue Cross Blue Shield, Cigna, and UnitedHealthcare. We recommend calling our office at (480) 535-6455 or your insurance provider to verify your specific coverage before your appointment.

Can thyroid problems cause ADHD-like symptoms?

Yes, even mild thyroid dysfunction can cause cognitive slowing, difficulty concentrating, fatigue, and brain fog—symptoms identical to ADHD. Research shows that many patients diagnosed with "treatment-resistant ADHD" actually have underlying thyroid issues. This is why we include thyroid testing in our comprehensive evaluation.

How soon can I get an ADHD evaluation appointment in Phoenix?

We offer same-week appointments for most patients. We understand that focus problems significantly impact your daily life, work, and relationships, so we prioritize getting you in quickly. Call (480) 535-6455 or use our online scheduling to book your evaluation.

Do you offer telehealth ADHD appointments for Phoenix residents?

Yes, we offer both in-person appointments at our Phoenix office and telehealth appointments for Arizona residents. Telehealth is convenient for follow-up visits, though we typically recommend in-person visits for initial evaluations to ensure comprehensive assessment.

"Good help is hard to find. And I'm incredibly grateful that I found Canybec because he's one of the best. He instills in you a curiosity about treatment so that you yourself can get a really good sense of what meds and dose are right for you. It's as engaged as I've seen any clinician. He has reached out to me outside of sessions, giving me ideas on other things that can help. I appreciate the holistic approach that he takes. Lastly, it's incredibly clear that he actually cares. If life circumstances get hard and things aren't working for you, Canybec will work with you. He tries to find creative ways to make things as cost-effective for you as possible. Can't thank him enough for all his help."

"If you've struggled to find a quality provider, look no further. Canybec is easy to talk to, never feels clinical or scripted, and genuinely cares. He creates a safe, supportive space that's helped me grow and heal over the past year. He's also super up-to-date with the latest in mental health, so I feel like I'm learning something new every time we meet. Highly recommend!"

"Just wanted to thank Canybec for help in managing my mental health needs. After an unpleasant experience with my PCP who initially managed my mental health needs, I reached out to Canybec who was very knowledgeable, patient, and empathetic. I informed him of the side effects I was having on a certain class of medications. He explored and offered different medication and treatment options - even showing latest evidence-based practice and research for each option. Thankfully, the option I've chosen has been working great for me without the major side effects and allowed me to be functional again."
