I provide adult ADHD treatment in Nashville

I am William Conway, MD, providing care as Adult ADHD doctor in Nashville

Adult ADHD rarely exists in isolation. For medically complicated adults, adult ADHD is often one of several chronic diseases requiring treatment. In my practice, ADHD is treated during the same visit as the rest of your chronic illnesses. For medically complicated patients, treating all chronic illnesses in one coordinated visit reduces fragmentation and improves stability.

My practice will remain small to benefit you.

Why Internal Medicine Matters in Adult ADHD

Medical complexity is common in patients with ADHD. Diabetes, hypertension, obesity, sleep apnea, and coronary artery disease frequently coexist. Modern internal medicine provides a wide range of treatments for both common and uncommon medical illnesses.

I remain up to date with current internal medicine treatments and guidelines. I am dedicated to understanding your preferences, your budget, and your circumstances.

The American College of Physicians supports coordinated care within a medical home for medically complex patients. This practice functions as a medical home in Nashville, including adults treated for ADHD.

I have treated adult ADHD in medically complex patients for many years within my Nashville internal medicine practice.

Adult ADHD within Addiction Medicine

I have several patients on buprenorphine (Suboxone) who also have adult ADHD.

To manage patients with both opioid use disorder and Adult ADHD safely, I completed advanced continuing medical education at Harvard Medical School in adult ADHD. I applied structured addiction medicine safeguards and Tennessee regulations to stimulant management.

My experience treating ADHD in patients with addiction histories has been careful, structured, and stable. My patients have benefited from stimulant medication given on the same visit as buprenorphine. The same controlled substance safeguards used in addiction medicine are applied to ADHD when appropriate.

Adult ADHD patients with addiction history in Nashville also deserve a medical home.

Continuity and Long-Term Stability of Your Attention and Focus

Adult ADHD does not resolve with a prescription. It requires longitudinal oversight and ongoing adjustment. In a stable medical home, patients receive consistent, effective care for years. ADHD management is not episodic or reactive. It is structured, scheduled, and longitudinal.

ADHD care in this practice is physician-led, structured, and integrated within primary care internal medicine with sub-specialty qualification in addiction medicine.
