Comprehensive psychiatric assessment — Davie, FL
Hollywood office hours are weekdays 9:00–17:00; Saturday is by appointment.
Psychiatric Evaluations for Davie patients
Sleep assessment looks at insomnia, circadian delay, apnea clues, and whether poor sleep is driving the daytime syndrome or following it.
Comprehensive assessment includes past treatments, doses, durations, and why they stopped — the data that actually changes the next trial.
Visit flow for Psychiatric Evaluations
Mental status exam is documented: appearance, speech, affect, thought process, insight, cognition, and risk.
Records from other clinicians are requested with your authorization; we do not pretend collateral is optional when the history is fragmented.
Scales are chosen to match the hypothesis — we do not print every questionnaire in the building.
Follow-up is scheduled before you leave so the evaluation is not a one-off performance.
Protocol elements we do not skip
Benzodiazepines, when used, have an indication, a taper plan, and a discussion of dependence.
We do not combine MAOIs with contraindicated agents. We do not ignore serotonin syndrome risk.
Missed appointments after a high-risk visit trigger outreach, not silent discharge.
Pregnancy status and contraception when prescribing agents with teratogenic or lactation issues.
What we rule in — and rule out
Adult ADHD concern with childhood onset clues or with strong mimic risk (sleep, trauma, mood).
affordable mental health assessment is treated as a presenting complaint that still has to survive a differential, not as a self-diagnosis we rubber-stamp.
Pediatric primary care is not the focus of this clinic; adolescents are considered case-by-case.
Eating-pattern change with medical risk (restriction, purging, electrolyte clues).

Stimulants were started before a bipolar-spectrum history was taken. That sequence is unsafe; the evaluation has to undo it carefully.
Book Psychiatric Evaluations
