Questions we hear about Functional Psychiatry & Lab Testing
What if labs are normal?
We still treat the psychiatric diagnosis if it is there.
Will you order a huge wellness panel?
Not as a default.
Adrenal fatigue?
Not a diagnosis we sell.
Crisis?
988/ER, not a draw center.
How soon results?
Depends on the lab. We schedule a results visit.
Can I draw near Deerfield Beach?
Usually yes.
Can seasonal residents establish psychiatric care with you?
Yes. We offer initial evaluations for seasonal visitors and can continue care via telehealth when patients return to their home state, subject to licensing requirements.
Do you treat depression related to isolation?
Absolutely. Isolation-related depression is common in coastal communities, especially among retirees and seasonal residents. Our evaluations identify contributing factors including hormonal changes and social disconnection.

Access from Deerfield Beach
Parking at 7603 Davie Road Extension is on site. Deerfield Beach patients who drive 36 minutes should plan for weekday 9:00–17:00 hours; Saturday is by appointment only.
South Florida heat, hurricane disruption, shift work, and multigenerational households show up in Deerfield Beach presentations. Functional Psychiatry & Lab Testing intake asks about those stressors explicitly.
Commute noise on I-95 and the Turnpike changes whether an in-office Functional Psychiatry & Lab Testing visit is realistic this week. Telehealth is used when the clinical exam does not require the office.
You were told you have 'adrenal fatigue' from a saliva kit of unclear validity.
Next step
Crisis now is 988 or the ER — not the booking form. For non-urgent Functional Psychiatry & Lab Testing, use (888) 307-2199 during weekday hours.
If you already have records from another psychiatrist, NP, or therapist, send them before Functional Psychiatry & Lab Testing so the interview can start from data instead of from a blank page.

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.
