Lauderdale-by-the-Sea FAQs for Medication Management
How often are visits?
Tighter after a start or change; wider when stable and labs are current.
Will you take over my current list?
After a diagnostic review. We do not rubber-stamp unsafe combinations.

Depends on the drug: TSH, lithium level, A1c, etc. We will list them in the plan.

Can you prescribe if I am traveling?
Only if you are physically in a state where we are licensed — currently Florida telehealth.
