Clinical FAQ
Will you order a huge wellness panel?
Not as a default.
Genetic privacy?
We treat it as sensitive data.
Can I refuse?
Yes.
Do labs replace a psychiatric diagnosis?
No.
What if labs are normal?
We still treat the psychiatric diagnosis if it is there.
Insurance?
Varies by test. We discuss non-covered costs.
Do you evaluate menopause-related mood changes?
Yes. Many Coconut Creek patients come to us specifically for the intersection of hormonal changes and mood disorders. We offer comprehensive hormone panels alongside psychiatric evaluation.
How do I get to your office from Coconut Creek?
Our Hollywood office is about 25-30 minutes via 441 or the Turnpike. First evaluations are in-person; many follow-up med checks can be done via telehealth.
Parking, hours, and video visits
Coconut Creek (Broward County) has about 58,000 residents. The nearest Peace & Heart Wellness exam room is the Hollywood office, about 32 minutes from Promenade at Coconut Creek and the Butterfly World district.
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.

Book Functional Psychiatry & Lab Testing
If you already have records from another psychiatrist, NP, or therapist, send them before Functional Psychiatry & Lab Testing so the interview can start from data instead of from a blank page.
After Functional Psychiatry & Lab Testing is scheduled, complete intake forms once. Repeating the same history at every visit is what we are trying to avoid.

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.
