ADHD Evaluation and Treatment in Boulder, CO
Getting an ADHD evaluation in Boulder often means a 3 to 6 month wait for a psychiatrist, and then rushed follow-ups once you finally get in. Base Camp Health takes a different approach. As a direct primary care practice, we can begin an ADHD evaluation within days, not months, and give you the time a real assessment requires and facilitate neuro-psych testing as appropriate.
Ruth Bentley, FNP-C provides ADHD evaluation, diagnosis, and ongoing management for both adults and children. Because Base Camp Health caps its patient panel, appointments run 30 to 60 minutes, so there is room to talk through symptoms, history, school or work impact, and a plan, instead of squeezing a complex evaluation into a 15-minute slot.
What ADHD care at Base Camp Health includes:
A thorough evaluation using validated screening tools and a full clinical history
Diagnosis and a treatment plan tailored to the individual, including prescription medication (stimulant or non-stimulant) when it is the right fit
Responsible management of controlled medications, with a clear patient agreement and periodic monitoring
Regular, unhurried follow-ups to adjust the plan as needed, with no copay per visit
Direct text and phone access to your provider between visits, so questions do not wait for the next appointment
Coordination with school, therapy, or specialists when a broader team makes sense
Adult ADHD often goes undiagnosed, especially in people who built coping strategies early and are only now finding those strategies fail under a heavier load. If you have wondered whether ADHD explains a lifetime of missed deadlines, lost focus, or trouble finishing what you start, an unhurried evaluation is the place to begin.
ADHD management is one of many covered services included in a Base Camp Health membership, which starts at $125/month for adults and $75/month for kids, with no per-visit fees.
