Clinical FAQ
Hormone weight loss?
Labs if indicated. Hormones are not a fat-melting SKU.
Sleep?
Apnea and insomnia are part of weight care.
Is this a weight-loss spa?
No. It is psychiatric and metabolic overlap care.
Can I refuse weight as a goal?
Yes. We can treat binge-eating and mood without a scale goal.
Will you weigh me every visit?
Only if it is clinically useful and not harmful to your eating-disorder recovery.
Supplements?
Only if evidence and safety support them. No mystery stacks.
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.

PMDD carb cravings called lack of discipline.
Protocol elements we do not skip

How Wellness & Weight Management is structured
Decide: therapy, dietitian, med switch, anti-obesity med, or higher care.
Involve family only with consent.
Sleep, shift work, and Coconut Creek food access.
Follow up; depression relapse often precedes weight relapse.
Next step
After Wellness & Weight Management is scheduled, complete intake forms once. Repeating the same history at every visit is what we are trying to avoid.
Crisis now is 988 or the ER — not the booking form. For non-urgent Wellness & Weight Management, use (888) 307-2199 during weekday hours.

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.
