Re: [Chicago-CHADD] Finding a MD to treat ADHD

Hi Keara,
I'm new to this list too.  I'm 32 and wasn't diagnosed with ADD until I was 29.  I was taking Concerta for a while and it was working well until about six months ago.  I found a really good Dr. in Oakbrook.  His name is Lawrence Kayton and his number is 630-990-1532.  You will just get a voicemail if you call because he answers all his own calls!  I've never heard of a doctor doing that.  He gets back to you really quickly too.  He is very good with mediciations.  He has started me on Adderall and it seems to be going well so far.
 
Take care,
Jennifer
 
P.S.  I went to North Central College and spent time with friends at Benedictine while in college.  :-)

Hi, I'm new and was diagnosed w/ ADHD once I entered college three
years ago. I have had three different psychiatrists....two of them
who were very odd and one who I loved but I moved to another state.
Currently, I am thinking of changing my medication but I know that my
family doctor does not feel comfortable doing so, so I need to find
someone that is. I am a junior/senior at Benedictine University in
Lisle looking for a physician that could work with me and managing my
medication. Does anyone know of anyone?

Thanks!
Keara
