Initial psychiatric consult for Deerfield Beach and Broward County
If you already carry three diagnoses from three clinics, the evaluation starts by reconciling the timeline — not by adding a fourth label.
Clinical scope of Psychiatric Evaluations in Broward County
Eating-disorder psychiatric evaluation looks at restriction, binge-purge, body image, electrolytes, and when a higher level of care is safer than outpatient Psychiatric Evaluations.
Adult ADHD assessment uses developmental history, ASRS, and mimics (anxiety, trauma, sleep, thyroid). A childhood report card helps; a viral video does not.
Parking, hours, and video visits
Deerfield Beach (Broward County) has about 86,000 residents. The nearest Peace & Heart Wellness exam room is the Hollywood office, about 36 minutes from Deerfield Beach International Fishing Pier and downtown Deerfield.
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.
Follow-up is scheduled before you leave so the evaluation is not a one-off performance.
Formulation is shared in plain language: what is likely, what is possible, what we are watching.
Protocol elements we do not skip
Patients can request a copy of the formulation; mystery diagnoses are not a clinical style.
Benzodiazepines, when used, have an indication, a taper plan, and a discussion of dependence.
PDMP review before controlled substances. No stimulant start from a chat message.
Informed consent is documented for off-label use when evidence supports it and alternatives were discussed.

Visit flow for Psychiatric Evaluations
Follow-up is scheduled before you leave so the evaluation is not a one-off performance.
Scales are chosen to match the hypothesis — we do not print every questionnaire in the building.
Psychiatric review of systems covers mood, anxiety, psychosis, OCD, trauma, ADHD, sleep, eating, and substance use even if you came for only one of those.
Safety: if risk is high, we stop the routine template and use crisis pathways.
Indications and differentials
A request for a second opinion before a major medication change or a disability form.
New or unexplained mood, anxiety, attentional, or psychotic symptoms lasting beyond a brief adjustment reaction.
Eating-pattern change with medical risk (restriction, purging, electrolyte clues).
Not indicated solely to obtain a letter that the interview does not support.
