“There is nothing more gratifying than making a positive difference, academically, behaviorally and socially, in the lives of those affected by ADHD.”
April Green, APRN, FNP-BC
April Green, APRN is the owner and founder of Focus of Tampa Bay and is a board-certified Family Nurse Practitioner. She has 12 years of clinical experience caring for children, adolescents, and young adults with ADHD, which began in 2010 while working in a prominent pediatric neurology practice in South Tampa. During that time Ms. Green developed a special interest in ADHD management, specifically in working closely with families in establishing proper diagnoses, treatment planning, and providing guidance and counseling related to social, emotional, behavioral, and educational impacts of the condition.
In 2018 she decided to open a medical practice exclusively dedicated to ADHD. Ms. Green has two young sons, one of whom has been treated for ADHD since the age of 6. She personally knows the struggles that ADHD can pose in a child's life, as well as that of the family. But she has also witnessed firsthand how proper interventions and a multi-faceted approach can lead to amazing outcomes.
For eight years Ms. Green used the objective data from the Quotient® ADHD System to help guide treatment planning, including diagnosis and medication management. Her interpretation of over 5000 tests allowed her and her colleagues to provide a more comprehensive ADHD patient management approach. Ms. Green is now offering QbTest, an FDA-cleared device used in ADHD evaluations and medication management. She is proud to be able to offer testing, treatment, education, and community resources from the comfort of her boutique office in South Tampa, as well as remotely through telehealth visits.
