Help For Children:

Children have their own unique set of problems. Our clinic evaluates and treats children with Attention Deficit Disorder (ADD), Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), specific learning disabilities, subtle seizure disorders, Tourette's Syndrome, Central Auditory Processing Deficiencies, High Functioning Autistic Spectrum including Asperger's Syndrome and behavioral problems. Our professional team conducts a comprehensive evaluation to help your child to achieve in all facets of his or her life. The in-depth evaluation includes developmental, medical, educational, psychological and family histories. Our team is comprised of special educators, language specialists, central auditory processing experts, perceptual motor specialists, and clinical psychologists. We recommend testing based on each child’s individual problems and needs. The evaluation includes a full neurological exam and computer testing to assist in the assessment. The family is given a summation and a diagnosis, and a suggested therapeutic plan including recommendations to the parents, the school, and, most importantly, to the child. For families who desire additional assistance, we provide after-school tutorials with special educators and psychological therapy with a clinical psychologists. Help For Adults:

Since the late 1980’s, researchers and doctors have understood that ADHD does not necessarily disappear at the onset of adulthood. Understanding the need to evaluate and treat adult ADHD and related disorders, Dr. Sussman has helped adults since the inception of his clinic. Nearly half of our patients are adults coming to us from every corner of South Carolina and neighboring states. Men and women from all walks of life, college and graduate students, medical and law students, all have benefited from our evaluation and treatment programs. Most recently, research and anecdotal evidence have shown that women have their own unique set of problems with previously undiagnosed ADHD. Managing their careers and their families puts significant stress on any woman. Trying to deal with multiple issues is especially stressful for women with ADHD. Dr Sussman has a particular interest in investigating and treating these problems.

My dear patients,

It is with deep pain, and at best ambivalence, that I must inform you of my plans to retire at the end of this calendar year. I really do not regard you as patients, but rather as friends. You have honored me by sharing your stories with me and I hope that I have helped you in some small way. If someone had told me when I was a struggling high school student that I would be able to have such a calling, I would have laughed in their face. However, maybe it was because I had to struggle that I have been able to "get in the skin" of my patients. I have had the good fortune of learning more from all of you than you have from me. For that I am sincerely grateful. You will be able to get your prescriptions until the end of December and if they are not controlled substances, I will give you a half year's refills. Upon request, we will give current patients a copy of your initial evaluation and the last 2 years notes. You then can take this information to your primary care practitioner and he or she should be able to continue you on the same medicine. If you are a former patient, there will be a $25.00 fee payable in advance, to retrieve your records from our storage facility where they are kept and mail them to you. If you live locally, we would appreciate you coming to pick them up in person as well as saying goodbye. We will need a current address as well.

Again, thank you for your loyalty and more importantly your friendship.

With best regards for a happy and healthy future,
Dr. Joel Sussman
