IV 'weight support' marketing vs actual indications
We will refer to nutrition and therapy. We will not pretend a 20-minute visit replaces both.
Clinical scope of Wellness & Weight Management in Broward County
Hormone weight loss is a maybe after labs — not a product name.
Stress eating and emotional eating still get a differential (binge-eating disorder vs situational).
Clinical FAQ
Walk-in?
No.
Will you weigh me every visit?
Only if it is clinically useful and not harmful to your eating-disorder recovery.
Can I refuse weight as a goal?
Yes. We can treat binge-eating and mood without a scale goal.
Can my antipsychotic stay?
Sometimes yes with monitoring; sometimes a switch is safer. That is a risk-benefit talk.
Sleep?
Apnea and insomnia are part of weight care.
Supplements?
Only if evidence and safety support them. No mystery stacks.
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.
