Our Approach for San Jose Professionals

Why Focus Problems Need Medical Investigation

Many San Jose executives and professionals struggle with focus, concentration, and productivity—and assume it must be ADHD. The diagnosis has to fit the history. CDC information on adult ADHD describes checking childhood symptoms and other conditions, including sleep and mood problems.

We review your sleep, mood, medications, and medical findings alongside the ADHD symptoms. If a thyroid, iron, or other concern emerges, we investigate it and coordinate care. A finding can change the treatment plan; it cannot confirm or rule out ADHD on its own.

We bring diagnostic rigor from critical care medicine to psychiatric care. The evaluation goes beyond a symptom checklist, with targeted testing when your history or findings give us a reason to order it.

Common Questions

ADHD Evaluation FAQs for San Jose Patients

What makes ADHD evaluation at Horizon Peak Health different from other San Jose area providers?

We review the history behind the focus problem, including childhood symptoms, sleep, mood, medication use, and relevant medical findings. A checklist helps, but it cannot establish the diagnosis alone. We order labs when a specific result could change the clinical decision.

Do you work with busy executives and professionals for ADHD evaluation?

Yes. We evaluate adult attention concerns by reviewing the history, prior treatments, sleep, and medical findings before recommending next steps. Request an evaluation and our team will confirm appointment availability.

Do you accept insurance for ADHD treatment in San Jose?

Whether we are in network depends on your plan, clinician, and state. A benefits check is not a payment guarantee. We recommend calling our office at (310) 955-1041 or your insurance provider to verify your specific coverage before your appointment.

Can thyroid problems cause ADHD-like symptoms?

Thyroid dysfunction can affect energy and concentration, but those symptoms do not prove or disprove ADHD. We review your history and prior results, then consider thyroid testing when the clinical picture calls for it.

How do I get to your San Francisco office from San Jose?

Our San Francisco office is about 48 miles from San Jose, about a 50-70 min drive. Take US-101 N toward San Francisco, exit into the Financial District, and continue to 220 Montgomery St. We also offer telehealth for California residents when in-person care is not necessary.

Do you offer telehealth ADHD appointments for California residents?

Yes, we offer both in-person appointments at our San Francisco office and telehealth appointments for California residents. Telehealth is convenient for follow-up visits—especially for busy San Jose professionals—though we typically recommend in-person visits for initial evaluations.
