Questions we hear about Medication Management
Where is the office for in-person med checks?
7603 Davie Road Extension, Hollywood, FL 33024 — about 32 minutes from Coconut Creek.
Can you prescribe if I am traveling?
Only if you are physically in a state where we are licensed — currently Florida telehealth.
Can I refuse a medication?
Always. Informed consent includes the option of no medication.
Do you prescribe stimulants?
When the evaluation supports ADHD and PDMP/safety checks pass. Not from a questionnaire alone.
What if side effects start this week?
Call the office. Do not wait for a distant follow-up if symptoms are severe. ER for emergency symptoms.
What is PDMP?
Florida's prescription drug monitoring program. We check it before controlled substances.
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.
