ADHD Program at Peds. of Medford

Pediatric Associates of Medford is pleased to announce our ADHD program established and run by Nicole Hersel, our Nurse Practitioner, in conjunction with our patient’s Primary Care physicians. The program is designed to compliment our vision of comprehensive, Medical-Home based medical care for our patients.

Through in-house referrals, the continuity of care is upheld in times when our patients and their parents are in their greatest need. ADHD can sometimes be a challenge to diagnose. The key to addressing this challenge is being able to provide thorough evaluations, review comprehensive school, family, and medical histories, and complete validated questionnaires with parents and teachers that help best determine if a child truly meets the criteria for an ADHD diagnosis.

Prior to initiating this program, Nicole received specialized training through another Boston Children’s Hospital affiliated practice. In working with other providers who specialize in diagnosing and managing care for children diagnosed with ADHD, she was able to bring this program back to Pediatric Associates of Medford to benefit our patients and their families.
