Clinical FAQ
Do you offer IV weight loss?
No.
Do I need a dietitian?
Often yes. We refer.
Supplements?
Only if evidence and safety support them. No mystery stacks.
How far is the office?
36 minutes from Hillsboro Beach.
Is this a weight-loss spa?
No. It is psychiatric and metabolic overlap care.
Do you prescribe GLP-1s?
When medically appropriate and after eating-disorder screening. Not as a cosmetic product.
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.

Diagnose psychiatric conditions that drive intake.

What we rule in — and rule out
OSA plus weight plus mood.
Patients who want monitoring, not a challenge.
Not indicated to treat anorexia with a GLP-1.
Patients asking for GLP-1 who also have a psych history.
Book Wellness & Weight Management

Request a Wellness & Weight Management visit by calling (888) 307-2199 or using the booking form. Bring current medications, prior labs, and a list of what has already been tried.

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.
