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 almost 9 years of clinical experience caring for children, adolescents and young adults within a prominent pediatric neurology practice in South Tampa. During her time there she 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.
Since 2011, Ms. Green has 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 has allowed her and her colleagues to provide a more comprehensive ADHD patient management approach. Ms. Green is now offering the QbTest System, another FDA-cleared device used in ADHD treatment. She is proud to be able to offer testing, treatment, education, and community resources from the comfort of her boutique office in South Tampa.
Ms. Green has two young sons, one of which has been diagnosed with and treated for ADHD since the age of 6. She knows personally the struggles that ADHD can pose in a child's life, as well as that of the family. But she has also witnessed first hand how proper intervention can lead to amazing outcomes.
“There is nothing more gratifying than making a positive difference, academically, behaviorally and socially, in the lives of those affected by ADHD.”
