About Dr. Erik Petersen
$275/month – Direct ADHD Care
FirstCall DPC provides world-class ADHD management for adults who value consistent, thoughtful, and physician-led care. Our approach emphasizes kindness, compassion, and clinical confidence. We do not rush refills, minimize symptoms, or provide fragmented “check-ins.” Instead, we work to understand you, optimize your medication regimen, and support better function, productivity, and overall well-being.
Our ADHD program includes:
• Comprehensive evaluation
• Stimulant and non-stimulant medication management
• Dose adjustments and optimization
• Symptom monitoring and functional goals
• Secure messaging for continuity
• Unlimited telemedicine visits
We treat ADHD as a condition that benefits from active management. Many patients come to us having been under-treated for years; our goal is to improve how you feel and how you perform, not simply maintain the status quo.
The program is $300/month, paid directly by patients. We are a cash-based practice and do not bill insurance, do not provide superbills, and do not engage in prior authorizations. This allows us to remain fully patient-focused without third-party constraints, delays, or coding requirements.
To ensure every patient receives a high level of attention and remains compliant with care, we intentionally limit the program to 50 active ADHD patients. This allows close monitoring, rapid adjustments, and a continuous relationship with your clinician. We only accept patients who are committed to ongoing care, consistent follow-up, and responsible medication use.
Ideal candidates value access, continuity, transparency, and proactive management. If the monthly fee is a financial stretch or unlikely to be sustainable, we recommend considering that ahead of enrollment. ADHD care works best when patients can remain engaged over time.
Patients choose FirstCall DPC because we take ADHD seriously, treat patients with respect, and manage medications with both confidence and caution.

The provider did not turn on their video, the pictures on zocdoc are AI generated, it felt like I was being sold something rather than care.

Despite the virtual nature of our appointment, Dr. Petersen made me feel both comfortable and valued as a patient.
