Med checks with a problem list, not a clipboard
Hollywood patients (0 min to Hollywood) can split care: in-office labs, video titration when stable.
What Medication Management actually includes
Telehealth medication management still requires Florida presence, identity check, and a visit note.
Antidepressant management includes adequate dose/duration, activation screening, and suicide-risk follow-up after initiation.
How Medication Management is structured
If prior authorization is required, start it the same day.
Share the plan with the therapist when consent exists.
Decide: continue, adjust, switch, or taper — one primary change when possible.
Confirm the target symptom and the diagnosis it belongs to.
Labs, scales, and follow-up cadence
Missed labs = delayed titration.
Lithium: level, TSH, creatinine, pregnancy test as indicated.
Valproate: level, LFTs, CBC, pregnancy counseling.
Stimulants: BP/HR, sleep, appetite, PDMP, diversion discussion.
Indications and differentials
Not indicated as a replacement for inpatient care when risk is high.
Taper request that requires a medical schedule.
A DSM-5-TR diagnosis that has an evidence-based pharmacologic option the patient wants to consider.
Antidepressants only after bipolar-spectrum screening.
Access from Hollywood
South Florida heat, hurricane disruption, shift work, and multigenerational households show up in Hollywood presentations. Medication Management intake asks about those stressors explicitly.
Neighborhoods we hear from most in Hollywood include Hollywood Beach, Hollywood Hills, Emerald Hills, and the Davie Road Extension corridor. ZIP codes 33019, 33020, 33021, 33022 map to this service-area page.
Commute noise on I-95 and the Turnpike changes whether an in-office Medication Management visit is realistic this week. Telehealth is used when the clinical exam does not require the office.
Antipsychotic weight gain and A1c were never measured.
Hollywood FAQs for Medication Management
How often are visits?
Tighter after a start or change; wider when stable and labs are current.
Are leftover 'affordable refill' URLs a discount?
No. They are retained slugs. Billing follows insurance contracts.
Can you prescribe if I am traveling?
Only if you are physically in a state where we are licensed — currently Florida telehealth.
Will I get a refill without a visit?
Not as a routine. Monitoring interval is part of the prescription.
What labs do I need?
Depends on the drug: TSH, lithium level, A1c, etc. We will list them in the plan.
What is PDMP?
Florida's prescription drug monitoring program. We check it before controlled substances.
Where is your Hollywood office?
Our office is located at 7603 Davie Road Extension, Hollywood, FL 33024. We're easily accessible from I-95, the Turnpike, and US-441.
Do you serve Hollywood Beach residents?
Yes! We serve all Hollywood neighborhoods including Hollywood Beach, Hollywood Hills, Emerald Hills, and surrounding areas.
Book Medication Management
If you already have records from another psychiatrist, NP, or therapist, send them before Medication Management so the interview can start from data instead of from a blank page.
After Medication Management is scheduled, complete intake forms once. Repeating the same history at every visit is what we are trying to avoid.

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.
