Hillsboro Beach FAQs for Medication Management
Do you treat insomnia with medication only?
No. We look for apnea, circadian issues, alcohol, and psychiatric drivers.
What labs do I need?
Depends on the drug: TSH, lithium level, A1c, etc. We will list them in the plan.
Do you prescribe benzodiazepines long-term?
Rarely, with a documented indication and a taper orientation. They are not a standing plan for GAD.
Can I refuse a medication?
Always. Informed consent includes the option of no medication.
Do you work with my therapist?
With consent, yes. Medication does not replace psychotherapy when both are indicated.
What is PDMP?
Florida's prescription drug monitoring program. We check it before controlled substances.
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.
