Coconut Creek FAQs for Telehealth Psychiatry
Do you prescribe Adderall by video?
Only if the evaluation and PDMP support it, and policy allows. Not as a first-click product.

About 32 minutes from Coconut Creek to 7603 Davie Road Extension.
Does insurance cover telehealth?
Often; verify. Coverage is not guaranteed by this page.
Can you order labs?
Yes, to draw sites near 33063.
What if Zoom fails?
We call you. If safety is in question, we use emergency pathways.

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.

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.
