Virtual Child and Teen Psychiatry for Pinecrest Families

School-aware evaluations for ADHD, anxiety, and learning concerns, from home

Pinecrest parents, and families in nearby Coral Gables, South Miami, Kendall, and Palmetto Bay, can bring a child or teen to Dr. Hubsher without leaving the house. Dr. Hubsher has treated children, teens, and adults for more than 40 years, and he is board-certified and licensed in Florida. When report cards, teacher comments, and what you see at home point in different directions, a psychiatric evaluation helps sort out what is behind them.

When School and Home Tell Different Stories

A virtual evaluation can help when:
Teacher feedback and what you see at home don’t match
Attention problems and a possible learning difference overlap
Earlier school testing didn’t answer the question
A teenager’s grades and effort no longer line up

School and Home, Side by Side

At home
Parents describe homework, routines, and how your child handles frustration, and the visit includes time with you and time with your child or teen.
At school
Teacher comments, report cards, and earlier testing help when you have them, though none is required.

Questions From Pinecrest Parents

Does my child need school testing first?

No. Earlier testing is welcome when you have it, but it isn’t required, and it doesn’t replace the psychiatric evaluation.

Will my teen be asked for their own view?

Yes. Teens are asked how they see the problem and what they’d like to change, so the plan reflects their goals as well as yours.

What if school testing found a learning issue but attention problems remain?

Learning differences and ADHD can occur together. Earlier testing is read alongside the psychiatric evaluation, not in place of it, so Dr. Hubsher can look at both.
