Hillsboro Beach FAQs for Functional Psychiatry & Lab Testing

Office for interpretation?

36 min from Hillsboro Beach if in-person.

What if labs are normal?

We still treat the psychiatric diagnosis if it is there.

How soon results?

Depends on the lab. We schedule a results visit.

Crisis?

988/ER, not a draw center.

Hormones?

Timed, not pellet bait.

Iron?

Ferritin when the story fits.

Can I do all appointments via telehealth?

After an initial evaluation (which we recommend in-person for the most thorough assessment), most follow-up appointments can be conducted via our secure telehealth platform.

How do you ensure privacy?

All appointments and records are HIPAA-compliant. Telehealth sessions use encrypted video, and we never share patient information without explicit consent.

In-office versus Florida telehealth

South Florida heat, hurricane disruption, shift work, and multigenerational households show up in Hillsboro Beach presentations. Functional Psychiatry & Lab Testing intake asks about those stressors explicitly.

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.
