Share the plan with the therapist when consent exists.
Decide: continue, adjust, switch, or taper — one primary change when possible.
Check labs due for the current class.
Labs, scales, and follow-up cadence
Hyponatremia: BMP in older adults on SSRIs when symptoms fit.

How Davie patients actually get here
Davie sits in Broward County. County-level resources (crisis lines, hospital ERs, IOP programs) are discussed during Medication Management when a higher level of care is safer than outpatient titration.
{access}. That access pattern is why Medication Management for Davie is written as a service-area page, not as a fake storefront.
Send the prescription to a named pharmacy; document the pharmacy.
If prior authorization is required, start it the same day.
Next step
If you already have records from another psychiatrist, NP, or therapist, send them before Medication Management so the interview can start from data instead of from a blank page.
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.
