Psychiatrists, Psychologists, and Counseling Services
Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) Information
Editor's note: The specialists listed below were posted on Framcom in response to a request for psychiatrists who have treated children with ADHD by a member looking for a new provider. Given the sensitive nature of childhood medical information, the following list does not include many details about the providers and does not reference the people who made the recommendations. What is important is that the providers listed have been used with good results by members of the Framingham community for childhood disorders, particularly ADHD. /cdf
