Clinical FAQ
What if side effects start this week?
Call the office. Do not wait for a distant follow-up if symptoms are severe. ER for emergency symptoms.
Do you treat insomnia with medication only?
No. We look for apnea, circadian issues, alcohol, and psychiatric drivers.
Do you monitor antipsychotics?
Weight, A1c, lipids, and neurologic side effects are part of the protocol.
What is PDMP?
Florida's prescription drug monitoring program. We check it before controlled substances.
Will I get a refill without a visit?
Not as a routine. Monitoring interval is part of the prescription.
Will you take over my current list?
After a diagnostic review. We do not rubber-stamp unsafe combinations.
How close is Hallandale Beach to your office?
Our Hollywood office is only about 10 minutes from Hallandale Beach via US-1 or I-95. We're very convenient for Hallandale residents.
