What this comparison is for
Clinical contrast
| Feature | How we practice | What we will not do |
|---|---|---|
| Setting | Secure video while you are physically in Florida | Hollywood office exam room |
| Physical exam / vitals | Limited; local labs or in-person visit if needed | Available the same day at 7603 Davie Road Extension |
| Controlled substances | PDMP and Florida telehealth rules still apply | Same legal requirements, easier vitals |
| Best fit | Stable follow-up, titration, counseling around meds | First-break concern, exam needs, patient preference |
Frequently asked questions
Full services online?
Yes! Telehealth provides the same comprehensive services as in-person: evaluations, medication management, therapy, hormone consultations, and lab orders.
Meds via telehealth?
Absolutely. We prescribe all psychiatric medications via telehealth, including controlled substances for ADHD when clinically appropriate.
Labs possible?
Yes! We order labs to convenient locations near you. Results are reviewed during your telehealth follow-up appointment.
Insurance same?
Most insurance plans cover telehealth psychiatry the same as in-person visits. We'll verify your specific coverage.
When in-person better?
In-person may be preferred for initial evaluations if you're more comfortable face-to-face, or for procedures like IV therapy or injections. Otherwise, telehealth is equally effective.
