Antidepressant and mood-stabilizer management in Broward County
Polypharmacy is treated as a risk to be justified, not a badge of complexity.
Medication Management for Davie patients
Best-practice med management is boring: lists, labs, and dates.
Psychiatric medication management is ongoing medical treatment: indication, dose, monitoring, and an exit plan.
Clinical FAQ
Do you prescribe benzodiazepines long-term?
Rarely, with a documented indication and a taper orientation. They are not a standing plan for GAD.
What if side effects start this week?
Call the office. Do not wait for a distant follow-up if symptoms are severe. ER for emergency symptoms.
Are leftover 'affordable refill' URLs a discount?
No. They are retained slugs. Billing follows insurance contracts.
Will I get a refill without a visit?
Not as a routine. Monitoring interval is part of the prescription.
Do you work with my therapist?
With consent, yes. Medication does not replace psychotherapy when both are indicated.
What is PDMP?
Florida's prescription drug monitoring program. We check it before controlled substances.
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.
What we rule in — and rule out
A DSM-5-TR diagnosis that has an evidence-based pharmacologic option the patient wants to consider.
Failed or partial response to a current agent after an adequate trial.
Polypharmacy review when the list exceeds what the diagnosis can justify.
Need for metabolic or neurologic monitoring on an existing antipsychotic or mood stabilizer.
Monitoring and safety in Medication Management
QTc risk: ECG when combining high-risk agents.
Hyponatremia: BMP in older adults on SSRIs when symptoms fit.
Informed consent stored in the chart.
Benzodiazepines: indication, duration limit, taper language.
How Medication Management is structured
Reconcile the current list, including OTC, cannabis, and hormones.
Document why a requested stimulant or benzo was declined.
Decide: continue, adjust, switch, or taper — one primary change when possible.
Review PDMP and allergies.
Parking, hours, and video visits
Commute noise on I-95 and the Turnpike changes whether an in-office Medication Management visit is realistic this week. Telehealth is used when the clinical exam does not require the office.
Davie (Broward County) has about 105,000 residents. The nearest Peace & Heart Wellness exam room is the Hollywood office, about 12 minutes from Nova Southeastern University and Broward College's Davie campus.
Telehealth visits verify Florida location.
Share the plan with the therapist when consent exists.
Next step
Request a Medication Management visit by calling (888) 307-2199 or using the booking form. Bring current medications, prior labs, and a list of what has already been tried.
Start with one thorough Medication Management evaluation rather than a series of 15-minute check-ins. Book at (888) 307-2199 or online.

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.
