Is your child having trouble focusing in class, finishing homework, or managing daily routines? These may be signs of Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD).
At Prestige Pediatrics, we are committed to helping families in the Atlanta metro area better understand ADHD symptoms and receive personalized support. Our dedicated team provides ADHD diagnosis and treatment for children and adolescents from infancy through young adulthood (up to age 18), supporting each family with compassion and understanding every step of the way.
Please note: We provide ADHD management only through age 17. Once a current patient turns 18, they will need to establish care with an adult provider for ongoing ADHD treatment. Our Rome office offers ADHD management for adults and may be a convenient option for continued care.

At Prestige Pediatrics, our approach to ADHD treatment is rooted in understanding each child’s unique strengths, challenges, and needs.

Prestige Pediatrics believes that caring for the whole child means engaging with their environment. We work with families, schools, and community resources to create a complete picture of your child. This helps us recommend a care plan that truly fits their needs.
Diagnosis involves several steps. After collecting a thorough medical and developmental history, we use standardized screening tools and input from parents and teachers. We sometimes collaborate with school counselors and other specialists to make sure we’re seeing the full picture. Our team rules out other possible causes of symptoms and offers a diagnosis that considers both the child’s strengths and challenges.
We offer a range of evidence-based treatments, which often include behavior therapy, support at home and school, and medication if needed. Our providers work closely with you to develop an individualized treatment plan. Along the way, we provide education and tools for both children and caregivers to help manage symptoms. We are committed to a collaborative approach, making adjustments as your child’s needs change over time.
