Ferritin when the story fits.
Can labs be wrong?
Yes. We repeat when needed.
Will you order a huge wellness panel?
Not as a default.

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.
How Coconut Creek patients actually get here
South Florida heat, hurricane disruption, shift work, and multigenerational households show up in Coconut Creek presentations. Functional Psychiatry & Lab Testing intake asks about those stressors explicitly.
Parking at 7603 Davie Road Extension is on site. Coconut Creek patients who drive 32 minutes should plan for weekday 9:00–17:00 hours; Saturday is by appointment only.
