Questions we hear about Telehealth Psychiatry
Can you send meds to my pharmacy?
Yes, a Florida pharmacy you designate.
How close is the office if I need to convert?
About 36 minutes from Hillsboro Beach to 7603 Davie Road Extension.
What if I travel to Georgia?
We cannot see you by telehealth while you are outside Florida.
What if Zoom fails?
We call you. If safety is in question, we use emergency pathways.
Will you see me in a parked car?
Only if it is private, stationary, and clinically appropriate. Driving is a no.
Can a family member sit in?
With your consent, as collateral. Not as a substitute historian who takes over.
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.

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.
