Hillsboro Beach FAQs for Wellness & Weight Management
Walk-in?
No.
Will you weigh me every visit?
Only if it is clinically useful and not harmful to your eating-disorder recovery.
Is this a weight-loss spa?
No. It is psychiatric and metabolic overlap care.
Insurance?
Verify. Metabolic meds and visits have different coverage rules.
Can my antipsychotic stay?
Sometimes yes with monitoring; sometimes a switch is safer. That is a risk-benefit talk.
Do you offer IV weight loss?
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.
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
Privacy around weighing.
Sleep screen.
Medication list vs weight curve.
Eating-disorder screen every new patient in this service line.
Parking, hours, and video visits
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.

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.
