Children with ADHD require more frequent monitoring and follow-up. We therefore require that patients with ADHD be seen every 3 months for routine appointments. At these appointments, we will monitor weight and blood pressure and discuss progress in school and medication efficacy. One of these appointments can be combined with your child’s routine checkup. Medication refills will not be given unless your child continues to be seen for these routine appointments.
The majority of ADHD medications are controlled substances and cannot be called into pharmacy. We request that you give us at least 7 days’ notice if you require a refill on your medication.
Patients who have been off medication or have not been seen in the past 3 months will require a visit prior to providing any additional prescriptions.
