Polypharmacy is treated as a risk to be justified, not a badge of complexity.

Genetic testing (pharmacogenomics) may change CYP2D6/2C19 probabilities. It is not a personality test.
Psych med management includes saying no when the requested drug does not match the diagnosis.
Deerfield Beach FAQs for Medication Management
Do you monitor antipsychotics?
Weight, A1c, lipids, and neurologic side effects are part of the protocol.
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 treat insomnia with medication only?
No. We look for apnea, circadian issues, alcohol, and psychiatric drivers.
Do you prescribe stimulants?
When the evaluation supports ADHD and PDMP/safety checks pass. Not from a questionnaire alone.
Where is the office for in-person med checks?
7603 Davie Road Extension, Hollywood, FL 33024 — about 36 minutes from Deerfield Beach.
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.
From intake to follow-up: Medication Management
Set the next visit before the bottle runs out.
Telehealth visits verify Florida location.
Decide: continue, adjust, switch, or taper — one primary change when possible.
Reconcile the current list, including OTC, cannabis, and hormones.
Labs, scales, and follow-up cadence
Formulary alternatives offered without pretending they are identical.
Alcohol withdrawal is not managed as an anxiety refill.
Clozapine: ANC monitoring — we refer if we cannot meet the REMS cadence.
MAOI diet and washout rules if that class is ever used.
In-office versus Florida telehealth
ZIP 33064 is the lead postal code listed for Deerfield Beach. Mail-order labs and pharmacy routing still use the patient's actual address, not this page's city token.
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.
If side effects appear, do not wait for the next quarterly slot — tighten follow-up.
Set the next visit before the bottle runs out.
Indications and differentials
Bridge care after hospitalization until a stable outpatient cadence exists.
Perinatal prescribing only with risk-benefit counseling.
Not indicated for out-of-state telehealth prescribing.
Hypnotics only after sleep differential, not as a standing nightcap.
Next step
After Medication Management is scheduled, complete intake forms once. Repeating the same history at every visit is what we are trying to avoid.
Call (888) 307-2199 to hold an appointment for Medication Management. Mention Deerfield Beach so staff can plan in-office versus Florida telehealth for the first visit.

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.
