Side-effect management that names the actual syndrome
If the diagnosis is wrong, no titration schedule will look like recovery. We will re-evaluate rather than stack drugs.
What Medication Management actually includes
ADHD titration follows a confirmed differential. Heart rate, sleep, appetite, and diversion risk are part of the visit.
Antidepressant management includes adequate dose/duration, activation screening, and suicide-risk follow-up after initiation.
Access from Lauderdale-by-the-Sea
Parking at 7603 Davie Road Extension is on site. Lauderdale-by-the-Sea patients who drive 28 minutes should plan for weekday 9:00–17:00 hours; Saturday is by appointment only.

Labs, scales, and follow-up cadence

How Medication Management is structured
Share the plan with the therapist when consent exists.
Revisit the original diagnosis if two classes have failed.
If prior authorization is required, start it the same day.

Book Medication Management
Call (888) 307-2199 to hold an appointment for Medication Management. Mention Lauderdale-by-the-Sea so staff can plan in-office versus Florida telehealth for the first visit.
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.

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.
