Labs, scales, and follow-up cadence
Do not use SMS for clinical decision-making.
End visit if another person is coaching answers off-camera in a way that corrupts history.
No prescribing if location cannot be established.
Crisis script includes 988 and nearest ER to Aventura.

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.
