Why Patients in Redwood City Choose Dr. Lee
Dr. Lee provides physician-led ADHD care for Redwood City patients who want more than a quick screening or fragmented treatment experience.

His practice serves professionals working in technology, healthcare, law, finance, and other demanding fields, as well as students and older teens navigating rigorous academic environments.

His approach is especially well suited for high-functioning adults, students, and later-diagnosis patients whose ADHD may be subtle, masked by achievement, or easily misunderstood in general practice settings.
Redwood City ADHD Care for High-Functioning Adults, Students, and Late Diagnosis
Many patients in Redwood City come to Dr. Lee after years of appearing capable and successful while privately struggling with focus, organization, procrastination, time management, and executive functioning. Some are professionals working at technology and life-sciences companies in Redwood Shores or downtown Redwood City, including executives, attorneys, and other professionals balancing demanding Peninsula careers with responsibilities at home. Others are students at Cañada College or older teens attending schools such as Sequoia High School, Summit Preparatory Charter High School, or Everest Public High School whose ADHD symptoms were missed because they were bright, hardworking, or able to compensate. This practice is designed for patients seeking a careful, physician-led ADHD evaluation and a practical, individualized treatment plan that supports academic, professional, and daily functioning over time.
A Careful ADHD Evaluation, Not Just a Quick Screening
Evaluation includes a detailed clinical assessment of attention, executive functioning, symptom history, coping patterns, and the ways symptoms affect work, school, and daily life. The goal is to determine whether ADHD is the best explanation for a patient’s symptoms and to guide treatment based on a careful clinical diagnosis. This approach is designed for patients whose strengths may have hidden ADHD for years and for those who need a more thoughtful assessment than a brief checklist or standardized intake can provide.

Medication Management and Ongoing Follow-Up
When medication is appropriate, treatment is managed carefully with follow-up visits, monitoring, and dose adjustments based on response, side effects, and clinical goals. Ongoing care is individualized and physician-led, with continuity over time rather than a large platform or rotating provider model. The goal is not just to prescribe, but to help patients find a sustainable treatment plan that improves daily functioning at work, in school, and at home.
