Questions we hear about Telehealth Psychiatry
Can I do the first visit by video?
Often yes if privacy and risk allow. We may require Hollywood for complex or high-risk cases.
What if my kids are home in Deerfield Beach?
We need a private room. Headphones help; a closed door is better. We will reschedule rather than take a corrupted history.
Can a family member sit in?
With your consent, as collateral. Not as a substitute historian who takes over.
Do you prescribe Adderall by video?
Only if the evaluation and PDMP support it, and policy allows. Not as a first-click product.
How close is the office if I need to convert?
About 36 minutes from Deerfield Beach to 7603 Davie Road Extension.
What about emergencies?
988 or ER. Video visits are not emergency departments.
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.
