Raising the Standard of Care For

Patients With ADHD

Before starting Greenville ADHD Specialists, all of our providers worked in medical practices where they saw many patients who felt overwhelmed, anxious, easily frustrated, and tired. All too often, these patients were incorrectly diagnosed with other conditions: generalized anxiety disorder, depression, chronic fatigue, and more.

In cases where these symptoms were correctly identified as ADHD, the diagnosis was truly life-changing for the patient. Unfortunately, traditional practice environments aren’t always well-equipped to accurately diagnose ADHD, so many patients never get the help they need.

Our providers have devoted their practice to the diagnosis and treatment of this disorder. We go above and beyond to make sure that we have enough time during appointments to build a relationship with you, appropriately evaluate your symptoms, perform state-of-the-art diagnostic testing, and provide individually-tailored treatment.

What Our Patients Have to Say

Melissa C.

After many years of struggling with my adhd and not seeking help I was close to losing hope that I would gain control of my life again. When my 30th birthday came I decided to seek help. This was one of the best decisions I have ever made for myself and for my marriage . Ashley is truly my life saver! She didn’t make me feel uncomfortable for seeking help, she actually cared about how I feel and works well with figuring out what is best needed for my adhd. My family and friends have noticed a huge change in me and I’m very thankful that this place exists! If you are wanting to get the help you need then this is the best place to go for help . Thank you to all the staff and to Ashley for helping me get my life, job, and family back in order . ❤️❤️❤️❤️

Teri L.

This has been a great healthcare experience all around. Dr. Brannon and Apryl, NP have been wonderful and take time to explain everything from the brain processes to the medications to managing side effects. They take time to listen and to validate concerns. The office staff is pleasant and keep things running smoothly.

Stark S.

My wife and I cannot say enough nice things about Dr. Brannon and the staff at Greenville ADHD Specialists. Her experience, wisdom and knowledge have remained constant for nearly 5 years. We do not doubt that the future will hold the same. Additionally, Erika and Caryn at the front are professional and experienced in their services. The entire office sees patient care as their number one priority. As well, we have extended family and friends who feel the same.

Hunter M.

What I really like about this practice is that they physicians/nurse practitioners use more data and objectivity to make a diagnosis. They also take the time to understand other neurological issues from a psychological stand point and therefore take, in my view, the perfect balance in diagnosing and treating ADHD. Not to mention, the staff are A+ from the physicians/practitioners to the patient coordinators. I would recommend this practice to anyone seeking professional guidance for the treatment of ADHD.

Susan O.

Both Dr. Brannon and Dr. Woods treat our family and they are phenomenal! They both are caring, responsive to our family’s needs and diligent about our care. I would highly recommend both of them.

Karen F.

Everyone who we have encountered [at Greenville ADHD] has been welcoming and caring. They have supported us through it all. Their positive approach to challenges in life with ADHD is not something you get at a typical doctor’s office. Our experience gave my son the tools to make his dreams come true. It truly takes a village. I am thankful to have all of them as a huge part of our village.

Kelin A.

I’ve been seeing Dr. Brannon for nearly 3 years. I had received an ADHD ‘diagnosis’ several years earlier from another psychiatrist without any kind of testing. That doctor always believed that my primary problem was depression, and she was unwilling to make changes to my medications despite no improvement in 5-6 years. Going through the testing at Greenville ADHD and speaking with Dr. Brannon was seriously a life-changing thing. Suddenly, in my mid-thirties, I was understanding why I had been dealing with these problems for my entire life.

Zak F.

Going here for treatment of my ADHD has significantly improved my ability to function as an adult with this condition. Receptionists are great, very helpful and friendly. I’ve actually been able to remember my appointments with their help and reminders. Dr. Brannon is great as well, it is refreshing to have a specialist that understands this condition. I leave my appointments feeling like I’m not actually lazy, unintelligent, or destined for mediocrity and failure.

Aimee M.

Dr. Brannon and staff are amazing. They take the time to thoroughly evaluate and give numerous treatment options, the follow up visits are lengthy (in a good way) and you can tell they are sincerely interested and invested in how you are doing — from front desk check in and nurse intake, to the doctor spending 30+ minutes with you (or however long is needed). I’ve never once felt rushed and the staff seems genuinely glad to be there.

Tammy L.

I was impressed that Dr. Brannon uses multiple tools for diagnosis, and I was particularly drawn to the QbTest. As a natural skeptic, I needed the objective data provided by this test to back up the more subjective data distilled from my patient interviews and questionnaires in order to be convinced I did indeed have ADHD. In my Qb graphs, charts, and data points, I could clearly see my ADHD patterns.

Our Approach to Treatment

Starts With an Accurate Diagnosis

Effective ADHD treatment is so much more than just symptom management. We use state-of-the-art diagnostic tests to make sure that our patients’ treatment plans are perfectly tailored to their needs. Some of the tests we use include:

QbTest

QbTest is the gold standard in ADHD diagnostics, and Greenville ADHD Specialists is the only practice in the Upstate that administers the test. It is an FDA cleared, 15-20-minute computer-based objective test that measures core ADHD symptoms: activity, attention and impulsivity. Results are instantly analyzed and presented in a report that compares a patient’s results with a group of people of the same age and gender who do not have ADHD.

Neurotransmitter Testing

Neurotransmitter Testing involves the collection of urine that is sent to a laboratory in a test kit provided by your clinician. This testing is used to detect imbalances among your major brain chemicals, known as neurotransmitters, whose function is to transmit signals from one neuron (brain cell) to another. Optimal neurotransmitter balance is required to maintain proper health. Imbalances can cause the brain and the body to be over- or under-stimulated, producing neurological or psychological symptoms.

Genetic Testing

Genetic testing is based on the concept of personalized medicine. Our testing uses your DNA from a cheek swab to report on the most important genes involved in your body’s ability to benefit from certain medications and other treatments.

CNS Vital Signs Testing

CNS Vital Signs testing measures subtle neurocognitive changes or deficits. The testing involves a non-invasive, computer-based assessment that is well-validated, has good test-retest reliability, and has a large database against which patient performance is assessed.

ADHD Looks Different for Everyone

In particular, adults might experience ADHD symptoms very differently than children and adolescents. Learn more about how we diagnose and treat patients of all ages.
