Encrypted video visits — same standard as the office
Telehealth is a setting. The interview, risk assessment, and consent are not shorter because the camera is on.
Clinical scope of Telehealth Psychiatry in Broward County
Functional telepsych = interview + local lab draw + video results visit.
Telehealth psychiatry is a delivery setting for medical psychiatric care, limited to Florida presence.
Clinical FAQ
Is this the same as therapy?
No. This is medical psychiatric care. Therapy referrals remain separate.
Can you order labs?
Yes, to draw sites near 33065.
Is 'online psychiatrist' an MD?
Consumer language. Your clinician is a PMHNP-BC. We do not hide that.
What platform do you use?
A HIPAA-compliant video platform. You will get a link after booking.
What if I travel to Georgia?
We cannot see you by telehealth while you are outside Florida.
Do you record the visit?
We document a note. We do not post visits.
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.
In-office versus Florida telehealth
South Florida heat, hurricane disruption, shift work, and multigenerational households show up in Coral Springs presentations. Telehealth Psychiatry intake asks about those stressors explicitly.
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.
Schedule the next visit before disconnecting.
No dual-tasking (driving) during visits.
What we rule in — and rule out
virtual psych appointment still has to be a medical visit, not a chat.
Weather, illness, or mobility limits that still allow a private room and camera.
Hybrid plans are preferred when controlled substances or complex medical comorbidity exist.
Not indicated for emergency agitation, overdose, or active SI with plan and intent that needs a room.
Access from Coral Springs

Coral Springs sits in Broward County. County-level resources (crisis lines, hospital ERs, IOP programs) are discussed during Telehealth Psychiatry when a higher level of care is safer than outpatient titration.
A previous platform banned you after a missed payment and kept the chart.
How Telehealth Psychiatry is structured
Do not start high-risk controlled substances on a first video visit without a supporting protocol.
Record the platform used and time in / time out.
Schedule the next visit before disconnecting.
Order labs to a draw site near 33065 when indicated.
Book Telehealth Psychiatry
Call (888) 307-2199 to hold an appointment for Telehealth Psychiatry. Mention Coral Springs so staff can plan in-office versus Florida telehealth for the first visit.
After Telehealth Psychiatry 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.
