Clinical scope of Medication Management in Broward County
Side-effect visits are diagnostic: we name the mechanism when we can.
Antidepressant management includes adequate dose/duration, activation screening, and suicide-risk follow-up after initiation.
Protocol elements we do not skip
Valproate: level, LFTs, CBC, pregnancy counseling.
New antidepressant: short-interval follow-up for activation and SI.
Hyponatremia: BMP in older adults on SSRIs when symptoms fit.
SGAs: weight, A1c, lipids; AIMS on a schedule.
How Davie patients actually get here
South Florida heat, hurricane disruption, shift work, and multigenerational households show up in Davie presentations. Medication Management intake asks about those stressors explicitly.
ZIP 33314 is the lead postal code listed for Davie. Mail-order labs and pharmacy routing still use the patient's actual address, not this page's city token.
No-show after a high-risk start triggers outreach.
Telehealth visits verify Florida location.
How Medication Management is structured
Confirm the target symptom and the diagnosis it belongs to.
Document why a requested stimulant or benzo was declined.
Reconcile the current list, including OTC, cannabis, and hormones.
Decide: continue, adjust, switch, or taper — one primary change when possible.
Davie FAQs for Medication Management
Can medication management be telehealth?
Yes if you are in Florida and the case is appropriate. Controlled-substance rules still apply.
Where is the office for in-person med checks?
7603 Davie Road Extension, Hollywood, FL 33024 — about 12 minutes from Davie.
Can you prescribe if I am traveling?
Only if you are physically in a state where we are licensed — currently Florida telehealth.
Can you help me taper?
Yes. Tapers are scheduled by drug class. Do not stop MAOIs, benzos, or paroxetine abruptly on your own.
What is GeneSight?
A pharmacogenetic panel that may adjust probabilities for certain antidepressants. It does not diagnose ADHD or depression.
Do you monitor antipsychotics?
Weight, A1c, lipids, and neurologic side effects are part of the protocol.
How far are you from NSU?
Our Hollywood office is approximately 10 minutes from Nova Southeastern University's main campus, making us a convenient option for students seeking psychiatric care.
Do you treat college students from Davie?
Absolutely. We work with many college-age patients on ADHD management, anxiety, depression, and adjustment disorders common in academic settings.
Indications and differentials
genetic psych testing still has to map to a problem on the list.
Not indicated for out-of-state telehealth prescribing.
Not indicated as a replacement for inpatient care when risk is high.
Polypharmacy review when the list exceeds what the diagnosis can justify.
Next step
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.
After Medication Management is scheduled, complete intake forms once. Repeating the same history at every visit is what we are trying to avoid.
