Questions we hear about Medication Management
Do you prescribe benzodiazepines long-term?
Rarely, with a documented indication and a taper orientation. They are not a standing plan for GAD.
Do you work with my therapist?
With consent, yes. Medication does not replace psychotherapy when both are indicated.
Can you prescribe if I am traveling?
Only if you are physically in a state where we are licensed — currently Florida telehealth.
What is PDMP?
Florida's prescription drug monitoring program. We check it before controlled substances.
Where is the office for in-person med checks?
7603 Davie Road Extension, Hollywood, FL 33024 — about 32 minutes from Coral Springs.
What is GeneSight?
A pharmacogenetic panel that may adjust probabilities for certain antidepressants. It does not diagnose ADHD or depression.
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.

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.
