Commute noise on I-95 and the Turnpike changes whether an in-office Medication Management visit is realistic this week. Telehealth is used when the clinical exam does not require the office.
Parking at 7603 Davie Road Extension is on site. Fort Lauderdale patients who drive 20 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 Fort Lauderdale presentations. Medication Management intake asks about those stressors explicitly.

Book Medication Management
After Medication Management is scheduled, complete intake forms once. Repeating the same history at every visit is what we are trying to avoid.
Crisis now is 988 or the ER — not the booking form. For non-urgent Medication Management, use (888) 307-2199 during weekday hours.

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.
