Telehealth medication management for Florida patients
Polypharmacy is treated as a risk to be justified, not a badge of complexity.
Clinical scope of Medication Management in Broward County
Best-practice med management is boring: lists, labs, and dates.
Antipsychotic monitoring is metabolic and neurologic, not just 'mood better / worse.'
Clinical FAQ
How often are visits?
Tighter after a start or change; wider when stable and labs are current.
What is PDMP?
Florida's prescription drug monitoring program. We check it before controlled substances.
What is GeneSight?
A pharmacogenetic panel that may adjust probabilities for certain antidepressants. It does not diagnose ADHD or depression.
Do you treat insomnia with medication only?
No. We look for apnea, circadian issues, alcohol, and psychiatric drivers.
Do you prescribe stimulants?
When the evaluation supports ADHD and PDMP/safety checks pass. Not from a questionnaire alone.
Do you prescribe benzodiazepines long-term?
Rarely, with a documented indication and a taper orientation. They are not a standing plan for GAD.
Is Cooper City close to your office?
Very close — our Hollywood office at 7603 Davie Road Extension is about 10 minutes from Cooper City via Stirling Road or Griffin Road.
Do you work with families?
Yes. We provide psychiatric evaluations and medication management for adults, and can coordinate care with family therapists for a comprehensive approach.
What we rule in — and rule out
Not indicated for out-of-state telehealth prescribing.
A DSM-5-TR diagnosis that has an evidence-based pharmacologic option the patient wants to consider.
Hypnotics only after sleep differential, not as a standing nightcap.
Not indicated to supply controlled substances without a supporting diagnosis and monitoring plan.

Commute noise on I-95 and the Turnpike changes whether an in-office Medication Management visit is realistic this week. Telehealth is used when the clinical exam does not require the office.
Cooper City (Broward County) has about 35,000 residents. The nearest Peace & Heart Wellness exam room is the Hollywood office, about 14 minutes from Cooper City High School and the Stirling Road corridor.
Parking at 7603 Davie Road Extension is on site. Cooper City patients who drive 14 minutes should plan for weekday 9:00–17:00 hours; Saturday is by appointment only.
A genetic test PDF sits in your email with no clinician interpretation.
How Medication Management is structured
If prior authorization is required, start it the same day.
No-show after a high-risk start triggers outreach.
Send the prescription to a named pharmacy; document the pharmacy.
Reconcile the current list, including OTC, cannabis, and hormones.
Protocol elements we do not skip
Hyponatremia: BMP in older adults on SSRIs when symptoms fit.
Opioid + benzo overlap is treated as a safety event.
Lithium: level, TSH, creatinine, pregnancy test as indicated.
Valproate: level, LFTs, CBC, pregnancy counseling.

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.
