Questions we hear about Wellness & Weight Management
Insurance?
Verify. Metabolic meds and visits have different coverage rules.
Can my antipsychotic stay?
Sometimes yes with monitoring; sometimes a switch is safer. That is a risk-benefit talk.
Do you prescribe GLP-1s?
When medically appropriate and after eating-disorder screening. Not as a cosmetic product.
Affordable coaching URL?
Retained slug. This is not cheap coaching.
Do you offer IV weight loss?
No.
Is binge-eating an eating disorder?
Binge-eating disorder is a DSM-5-TR diagnosis. We screen for it.
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.

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.
