Parking at 7603 Davie Road Extension is on site. Dania Beach patients who drive 10 minutes should plan for weekday 9:00–17:00 hours; Saturday is by appointment only.

Self-esteem focus only?
Not if medical risk is present.
Crisis / medical instability?
ER. Especially with restriction and electrolyte risk.
Is binge-eating an eating disorder?
Binge-eating disorder is a DSM-5-TR diagnosis. We screen for it.
