Can labs be wrong?
Yes. We repeat when needed.

Ferritin when the story fits.
Can seasonal residents establish psychiatric care with you?

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.
