Greensboro Reviews

Love this practice! Attention disorders don’t just affect kids. Very kind and caring staff.

This staff here are great, I mean everyone. From the moment I walk inside I'm greeted by name and always with smiles. And my Doctor is amazing. She listens and provides excellent information and feedback. And she really does her job quite well.

We come to the Greensboro office to see Dr. Emily Thompson. I can not thank her enough for the help she has given to us. She truly cares about her patients and finding the right solutions for them. Because of her we finally received the correct diagnosis after 3 long year, which allowed for correct treatments and plans. I trust her and when it comes to your child that is an important factor. Also, the front desk staff are so friendly and helpful. They always greet with a smile and make you feel welcome.

We’ve been working closely with CAS for about a year. This has greatly increased my sons quality of life by pinpointing not only medication options that work but also life skills that improve focusing within home and classroom settings.

I had a wonderful experience. Really educated me and for once I feel normal again.

I have been a patient here for over a year and their entire office staff is fabulous. Dr Stevenson is knowledgeable, informative and very easy to talk to. So thankful I found this practice!

Wonderful place! Finally having a proper diagnosis and treatment plan. PA Hepler is fantastic and patient with me and I appreciate the care that everyone takes.

My son’s ADHD symptoms have greatly improved. I appreciate Dr Thompson’s thoroughness and professionalism. The objective testing performed with medication adjustments has been most helpful

I love this place. They are absolutely the best The doctors are phenomenal as well as the office staff

Me and my son both are now patients here. They are kind, patient with you and work with you for your ADHD needs going past just medicating you. They go for an all around approach to help you.

Dr,. Amy Stevenson is brilliant and compassionate physician who understands the needs and challenges that her patients encounter. She has helped me & members of or family and I highly recommend her.

I loved everything about this place. I liked the environment. It was clean. I would recomend this place. Every question I asked was answered clearly and immediately. The workers were professional and courteous. I liked the way I was treated, and liked how patient they were with my children too.

Great place! Took the time to go over my diagnosis, treatment plans, and made sure my current meds were working correctly.

Dr. Stevenson and Mark Hepler, P. A. are the best at taking their time to listen and understand each person’s unique situation. They offer guidance and positive ways to help keep ADHD under control. In addition, the office staff are always friendly and welcoming for each appointment. Once given the opportunity to meet with you one on one, they will definitely exceed your expectations.

I’ve been with Carolina Attention Specialist for almost two years, starting at the end of 2019. I’ve watched this office adapt, change and evolve through Covid, and now on the other side of our new routine to match the professionalism and family atmosphere that my wife and I loved from the beginning. The front desk staff are both friendly, helpful, and always understanding of any questions. They lighten up the room while you’re waiting to get back. The Medical Assistants, nurses, and staff are friendly and helpful with every question we’ve had. I am a patient of Dr. Stevenson, who is exceptional . When I was first tested and diagnosed, it felt as if she had given me the keys to a car I had been trying to use as a boat. I needed the right tools to make the right situations work for me. Dr. Stevenson has also seen me battle with ongoing medical issues and has worked with myself and other doctors to make make sure my health is covered all the way around. If it wasn’t for this office, and these outstanding individuals who work inside it, I wouldn’t be on the Deans or Chancellors list the last four semesters. I would not have been given the accommodations I need for college to succeed in my classes and wouldn't be on the path I am on after graduating do pursue a Masters's degree and hopefully a Ph.D. I owe my academic success and my personal growth over the last few years to the Excellent staff inside this office have helped me become the version of myself I knew I could be.

I could not be more pleased with this office! The front staff, nurses, Casey, Dr. Stevenson were all wonderful and attentive. Dr. Stevenson took a lot of time to get to know me, educate me on ADHD and what my diagnosis meant. She made everything less intimidating and I honestly think she might be an angel! Casey promptly returned calls and emails; she is on top of things! Nurse who took me in for the test (I'm sorry I don't recall her name) was sweet, funny, and patient. It took almost 4 months to get in, but it was worth the wait. I am forever grateful for Carolina Attention Specialists!

The entire staff is fantastic! They are very easy to work with. Quick replies to messages and alway friendly communication!
Charlotte Reviews

Always a pleasant atmosphere. Dr. Brugman is thorough and takes his time with me!

Dr. Brugman has helped me through the worst of the worst with my ADHD. Without him, I 100% believe I would not be where I am today. He ALWAYS listens to me. I can say with confidence that there isn’t another doctor who listens to their patients & genuinely cares for them the way Dr. Brugman does. When I was a minor attending CAS for the first time (after being recommended to test for ADHD by my childhood therapist) he listened to my mother & her concerns about putting her daughter on potentially addictive medication. Now, almost 10 years later, he has listened to me any time I brought up a concern. His front desk & clinic staff are always extremely kind & friendly. I have never had a bad experience. As far as anyone who complains about having to “wait” past their appointment time for their visit, that’s just part of the process of seeing a great doctor who spends time sitting face to face with their patients discussing each & every concern they may have. I have learned this & accepted it & now when scheduling my follow-up’s I choose early morning appointments or the first appointment after their lunch break so I am the first one back. These appointments are made 3 months in advance so there is plenty of time to make arrangements around them if needed be. I have had to come to my appointments with both of my daughters & the staff are always beyond kind to them. Dr. Brugman let’s them sit & color in his office & even let’s them check out his super cool spider man collection. He is a great doctor & a great man & I am so blessed to have a great doctor who cares for their patients the way he does. People do not understand the daily struggle of having ADHD, especially as a stay at home mom with 2 young children & pets, ADHD untreated took a toll on my mental health. I’m so thankful for Dr. Brugman & CAS helping me & guiding me every step of the way.

The doctor spent a lot of time explaining the findings from testing. The findings and his thorough explanation pulled a vast body of information into a concise understandable plan of care. I am glad to be on the road to improved daily mental functioning in my work and daily life. His staff is wonderful. They are positive and professional. From the initial phone call to the date of service, the communication was clear and timely making the initial testing visit smooth and efficient.

Working in the medical field for over 30 years, my standards are high. When helping folks navigate through various cognitive challenges I found Dr Derek Brugman to sincerely be the most qualified in this arena. He doesn't just treat patients. He's lived through ADHD himself and can speak into and provide solutions for these challenges.

So glad for Dr Brugman and his team. Everyone is very professional and Dr Brugman really understands what ADHD looks like for all types of people.

I’ve been going to this practice for a few months now. I can’t say enough good things! They are always kind, friendly and attentive. So much so that I have referred others and I rarely do that.

CAS is great. Dr. Perry Roy diagnosed me with ADHD as an adult and spent 30-60 minutes explaining how my experiences relate to ADHD, how I'm not lazy, crazy, or stupid (and recommended that book), how there are many medication options and he'd work with me to find the right meds, and he gave me great resources to understand and work WITH my brain, not against it. Every time we meet I feel he is really listening and working with me with the utmost respect. I am finally on a road to living better with ADHD.

They are professional in every sense of the word. Carolina attention specialists understand the day-to-day life of a person with ADD and have always adapted to the special "nuances" my ADD symptoms exhibit. I'm truly glad that they're around.

I have been seeing Dr. Roy for about 8 years now (which is hard to believe time has moved so quickly) and I can truly say my life has changed for the better since being diagnosed as a more severe case. The front desk is always super helpful and very attentive when it comes to their patient’s scheduling needs, supplying excellent customer service for courtesy visits and scripts, and one lady always stands out to me in particularly (Mrs Silvia), she is very sweet and truly cares for the awaiting patients. 5 out of 5 stars for this place; it changed my world and I am eternally grateful!

I have had a great experience with Dr. Roy thus far. The decisions made following my diagnosis have completely changed for the better in a lot of different areas (e.g., work, relationship, attentiveness, etc.).

Great doctors and staff. All are very friendly and informative. Carolina Attention Specialists have helped me live a better life by managing my ADHD. Many thanks to Dr. Roy and staff!

There are people in this world that are doing exactly what they are made for and I believe Dr. Derek Brugman is one of them. Great perspective on the needs of his patients, and his love for Spiderman is infectious.

I’ve been seeing Dr. Perry for about 8 months now. He’s great. Their office staff is always very nice and welcoming. I even showed up to my appointment on the wrong day (whoops) and they fit me in and took me anyway! That’s hard to find at most doctor offices.

I appreciate Dr. Brugman & his staff. After visiting multiple dr's about my child's diagnosis, Dr Brugman the only one that didn't make us feel hopeless & empowered us that this does not have to be a lifelong illness. We just have to approach ADHD differently and he provided techniques & alternative approaches. Even though my child on medication & more comfortable with overall outcomes. Thanks 😊 Carolina Attention Specialist

Wonderful experience. Dr. Brugman is very helpful, kind, funny and makes you feel good through his explanations and humor.

The doctors and staff are always courteous, engaging, sincere, and knowledgeable. Appointments are ALWAYS on time. I’m very thankful for their services and highly recommend them to anyone.

The staff are so friendly and helpful— I always have a lovely time whenever I go in for an appointment. Also, I have nothing but praise for Dr. Brugman! He takes a genuine interest in his patients, is so relatable and great in validating my experiences and making others feel understood!

For my first time coming I had a great experience with the team! As soon as I walked in the ladies at the front desk greeted me nicely, going through with Dr. Roy he was very informative and listened as well as a doctor can with a ADHD patient ha!
