Getting an ADHD answer in New York
Waitlists for ADHD evaluations in New York are long, and the process can feel opaque: a screening here, a referral there, months before anyone says clearly whether this is ADHD. Meanwhile school, work, and relationships keep moving.
DaniCare's evaluation is designed to give you a clear answer and a plan. It examines whether ADHD explains what you are experiencing, or whether anxiety, depression, sleep problems, or something else is driving it — and then turns that into concrete next steps.
Care rooted in New York training
DaniCare's care is led by Dr. Dolani Ajanaku, M.D., who completed advanced training in child and adolescent psychiatry at Montefiore Medical Center in the Bronx, after general psychiatry residency training at USF/Stony Brook University and an M.D. from Rutgers University School of Medicine.
That background covers both ends of ADHD care: children and teens navigating school, and adults who were never evaluated as kids.

ADHD evaluation in the Bronx
DaniCare's New York office is at 1500 Astor Avenue, 2nd Floor, Bronx, NY 10469, and Dr. Ajanaku completed advanced training in child and adolescent psychiatry at Montefiore Medical Center in the Bronx — so the borough is where this practice's New York roots actually are.

ADHD in adults: the numbers
Adult ADHD is common and often identified long after school.
- 15.5 millionU.S. adults (6.0%) had a current ADHD diagnosis in 2023. CDC MMWR, 2024
- 55.9%of adults with current ADHD were first diagnosed at age 18 or older, not in childhood. CDC MMWR, 2024
- 11.7%of U.S. children aged 3–17 have a current ADHD diagnosis, so many adults recognize themselves once a child is evaluated. CDC
Figures verified September 2026. Statistics describe populations, not individuals — only an evaluation can say whether ADHD explains what you are experiencing.
