"May I Have Your Attention, Please?"
YOUR CHILDREN ARE NOT LAZY.
They just can't focus.
How do I know? Because I get it. Or, I have it. Really, both. What I mean is, who better to help your child understand their Attention Deficit than a Pediatrician who himself has been diagnosed. Someone who has learned that successful management of Attention Deficit doesn’t begin and end with a prescription.
You already know your kid is amazing and complex, an individual. Whoever is going to truly guide you and your child should know it too. Together we will discover what your kid is capable of.

What is Headdstrong?
Headdstrong is a medical practice entirely and exclusively dedicated to the management of ADD for children and adolescents.
Headdstrong is learning. A diagnosis is only made of words and numbers, but it takes a true understanding of this convergence of biology, nature, and experience before being able to achieve whatever one will.
Headdstrong is discovery. Acknowledging one’s struggles is only the opportunity to discover one’s strengths. Knowing both brings self-awareness and confidence.
Headdstrong is made of heroes. Your determination gets you there, your strength pulls you through. Tomorrow you’re going to do it all over again. That’s hero stuff.
My name is Dr. Thomas Puleo, M.D.
I started in 2004…
…practicing primary care pediatrics, eventually as a solo provider. Then the scales tipped. I was off balance, overwhelmed by all the roles life presented to me. I was a business owner, husband, and father and felt like I couldn’t be any of them. I remember the first day I treated my ADD. My wife met me on the back porch to see how I felt. I cried and could only say, “I wish I had done this years ago.”
In 2018, an idea formed from a combination of very little sleep, a great day at work, and awesome song on the radio. Headdstrong was the realization that all my training and knowledge and personal experiences with ADD could come together in a way that would be universally gratifying.
I’ve received no greater professional joy then when helping kids to discover what they are capable of. It is the culmination of two decades of experience treating ADD and a lifetime of understanding ADD in myself.
Headdstrong is 20 years of professional experience, a lifetime of personal experience.
