Hillsboro Beach FAQs for Telehealth Psychiatry
What about emergencies?
988 or ER. Video visits are not emergency departments.
How close is the office if I need to convert?
About 36 minutes from Hillsboro Beach to 7603 Davie Road Extension.
What platform do you use?
A HIPAA-compliant video platform. You will get a link after booking.
What if I travel to Georgia?
We cannot see you by telehealth while you are outside Florida.
Can a family member sit in?
With your consent, as collateral. Not as a substitute historian who takes over.
What if my kids are home in Hillsboro Beach?
We need a private room. Headphones help; a closed door is better. We will reschedule rather than take a corrupted history.
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.
Protocol elements we do not skip

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.
