Antidepressant and mood-stabilizer management in Broward County
If the diagnosis is wrong, no titration schedule will look like recovery. We will re-evaluate rather than stack drugs.
Clinical scope of Medication Management in Broward County
Functional psychiatry does not mean 'no medication.' It means medication plus the labs that could change the choice.
Psychiatric medication management is ongoing medical treatment: indication, dose, monitoring, and an exit plan.
In-office versus Florida telehealth
Coral Springs sits in Broward County. County-level resources (crisis lines, hospital ERs, IOP programs) are discussed during Medication Management when a higher level of care is safer than outpatient titration.
Parking at 7603 Davie Road Extension is on site. Coral Springs patients who drive 32 minutes should plan for weekday 9:00–17:00 hours; Saturday is by appointment only.
If prior authorization is required, start it the same day.
Send the prescription to a named pharmacy; document the pharmacy.
Questions we hear about Medication Management
Can you prescribe if I am traveling?
Only if you are physically in a state where we are licensed — currently Florida telehealth.
Will I get a refill without a visit?
Not as a routine. Monitoring interval is part of the prescription.
What if side effects start this week?
Call the office. Do not wait for a distant follow-up if symptoms are severe. ER for emergency symptoms.
Do you prescribe benzodiazepines long-term?
Rarely, with a documented indication and a taper orientation. They are not a standing plan for GAD.
How often are visits?
Tighter after a start or change; wider when stable and labs are current.
Can I refuse a medication?
Always. Informed consent includes the option of no medication.
Do you work with patients dealing with trauma-related anxiety?
Yes. Our psychiatric evaluations thoroughly assess anxiety and trauma-related conditions, and we create comprehensive treatment plans that may include medication, therapy referrals, and functional testing.
Is telehealth available for Coral Springs patients?
Absolutely. Many Coral Springs patients use our secure telehealth platform, especially for follow-up medication management appointments. It saves the drive while maintaining quality of care.
Why Coral Springs presentations look the way they do
You fear dependency, so you skip doses and then crash, which looks like 'nonadherence.'
QTc-prolonging combinations were stacked without an ECG.
Antipsychotic weight gain and A1c were never measured.

Book Medication Management
If you already have records from another psychiatrist, NP, or therapist, send them before Medication Management so the interview can start from data instead of from a blank page.
Questions about insurance, labs, or whether Medication Management can be done by video: call (888) 307-2199 before you book so the visit type matches the clinical need.

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.
