36-minute path to the Hollywood office
Hillsboro Beach sits in Broward County. County-level resources (crisis lines, hospital ERs, IOP programs) are discussed during Wellness & Weight Management when a higher level of care is safer than outpatient titration.
Parking at 7603 Davie Road Extension is on site. Hillsboro Beach patients who drive 36 minutes should plan for weekday 9:00–17:00 hours; Saturday is by appointment only.
Commute noise on I-95 and the Turnpike changes whether an in-office Wellness & Weight Management visit is realistic this week. Telehealth is used when the clinical exam does not require the office.
You commute 36 minutes and eat in the car; the plan assumed a leisurely kitchen.
Questions we hear about Wellness & Weight Management
Do you offer IV weight loss?
No.
Telehealth?
Follow-up if you are in Florida. Exams as needed in Hollywood.
Is binge-eating an eating disorder?
Binge-eating disorder is a DSM-5-TR diagnosis. We screen for it.
Sleep?
Apnea and insomnia are part of weight care.
Do you prescribe GLP-1s?
When medically appropriate and after eating-disorder screening. Not as a cosmetic product.
Self-esteem focus only?
Not if medical risk is present.
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.
How Wellness & Weight Management is structured
Set behavior metrics, not only pounds.
Telehealth for follow-up; office for exams.
Do not start a crash diet in active eating disorder.
Stop dangerous 'wellness' products.

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.
