Clinical FAQ
Panic on the table?
We stop. If medical emergency, ER.
Contraindications?

No.

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.

Access from Hillsboro Beach

Hillsboro Beach (Broward County) has about 2,000 residents. The nearest Peace & Heart Wellness exam room is the Hollywood office, about 36 minutes from Hillsboro Inlet Lighthouse and Millionaire Mile.

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.
