Questions we hear about Telehealth Psychiatry
How close is the office if I need to convert?
About 20 minutes from Aventura to 7603 Davie Road Extension.
Affordable online psych URL?
Retained slug. Not a discount brand.
Can I do the first visit by video?
Often yes if privacy and risk allow. We may require Hollywood for complex or high-risk cases.
What if I travel to Georgia?
We cannot see you by telehealth while you are outside Florida.
What platform do you use?
A HIPAA-compliant video platform. You will get a link after booking.
Can you send meds to my pharmacy?
Yes, a Florida pharmacy you designate.
Is your practice discreet for Aventura patients?
Absolutely. We maintain strict HIPAA compliance, and our telehealth option ensures complete privacy. Many Aventura patients prefer virtual appointments from their residence or office.
Do you address image-related anxiety and mood disorders?
Yes. We treat the full spectrum of anxiety and mood disorders, including those related to social pressure, perfectionism, and performance expectations common in high-achieving communities.

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.
