Questions we hear about Telehealth Psychiatry
What about emergencies?
988 or ER. Video visits are not emergency departments.
What platform do you use?
A HIPAA-compliant video platform. You will get a link after booking.
Can you order labs?
Yes, to draw sites near 33160.
Is this the same as therapy?
No. This is medical psychiatric care. Therapy referrals remain separate.
Is it encrypted?
Yes. Still avoid public Wi-Fi.
What if Zoom fails?
We call you. If safety is in question, we use emergency pathways.
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.

Book Telehealth Psychiatry
After Telehealth Psychiatry is scheduled, complete intake forms once. Repeating the same history at every visit is what we are trying to avoid.
Crisis now is 988 or the ER — not the booking form. For non-urgent Telehealth Psychiatry, use (888) 307-2199 during weekday hours.

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.
