Crisis?
988/ER, not a draw center.
What if labs are normal?
We still treat the psychiatric diagnosis if it is there.

If you are in Florida.

We treat deficiency, not a fandom.

Book Functional Psychiatry & Lab Testing
If you already have records from another psychiatrist, NP, or therapist, send them before Functional Psychiatry & Lab Testing so the interview can start from data instead of from a blank page.
After Functional Psychiatry & Lab Testing is scheduled, complete intake forms once. Repeating the same history at every visit is what we are trying to avoid.

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.
