What we will not order
Normal labs do not mean your DSM-5-TR diagnosis is imaginary.
What Functional Psychiatry & Lab Testing actually includes
Iron deficiency brain fog is a medical problem we measure.
Thyroid mood testing is TSH with free T4 when indicated — not a T3 shopping list by default.
Access from Aventura
South Florida heat, hurricane disruption, shift work, and multigenerational households show up in Aventura presentations. Functional Psychiatry & Lab Testing intake asks about those stressors explicitly.
ZIP 33160 is the lead postal code listed for Aventura. Mail-order labs and pharmacy routing still use the patient's actual address, not this page's city token.
Parking at 7603 Davie Road Extension is on site. Aventura patients who drive 20 minutes should plan for weekday 9:00–17:00 hours; Saturday is by appointment only.
You were told you have 'adrenal fatigue' from a saliva kit of unclear validity.
In-office versus Florida telehealth
South Florida heat, hurricane disruption, shift work, and multigenerational households show up in Aventura presentations. Functional Psychiatry & Lab Testing intake asks about those stressors explicitly.
Commute noise on I-95 and the Turnpike changes whether an in-office Functional Psychiatry & Lab Testing visit is realistic this week. Telehealth is used when the clinical exam does not require the office.
Crisis path unchanged.

Florida telehealth psychiatry is available to established and new patients located in Florida at the time of the visit, subject to licensure and clinical appropriateness. An in-person evaluation at the Hollywood office may be recommended when a physical exam, vital signs, or a more complete diagnostic interview is needed.
