Functional psychiatry labs for Lighthouse Point patients
Hollywood interpretation plus local phlebotomy is the usual pattern.
What Functional Psychiatry & Lab Testing actually includes
Functional psychiatry labs are hypothesis-driven tests inside a psychiatric evaluation.
GeneSight testing in Hollywood is optional and post-failure, not a rite of intake.
Labs, scales, and follow-up cadence
Do not start TRT off a single afternoon T.
No 80-marker default.
Privacy of genetic data.
Morning T for men.
From intake to follow-up: Functional Psychiatry & Lab Testing
Pick the smallest panel that could change the plan.
Do not stack 12 supplements the same week as a new antidepressant without a reason.
Crisis path unchanged.
Refuse to interpret another clinic's mystery panel if it is uninterpretable — we may redraw targeted tests.
Lighthouse Point FAQs for Functional Psychiatry & Lab Testing
Can I refuse?
Yes.
Do labs replace a psychiatric diagnosis?
No.
How soon results?
Depends on the lab. We schedule a results visit.
Vitamin D religion?
We treat deficiency, not a fandom.
Will you order a huge wellness panel?
Not as a default.
Do you treat based on Instagram optimal ranges?
No. We use clinical context.
Do you offer pharmacogenetic testing?
Yes. We offer pharmacogenetic (GeneSight) testing to determine which psychiatric medications are most likely to be effective for your specific genetic makeup, reducing trial-and-error in medication selection.
What makes your evaluations comprehensive?
Our initial evaluations last 60-90 minutes and include clinical assessment, review of functional lab options, hormone screening discussion, and a personalized treatment plan — not a 15-minute med check.
In-office versus Florida telehealth
South Florida heat, hurricane disruption, shift work, and multigenerational households show up in Lighthouse Point presentations. Functional Psychiatry & Lab Testing intake asks about those stressors explicitly.
ZIP 33064 is the lead postal code listed for Lighthouse Point. Mail-order labs and pharmacy routing still use the patient's actual address, not this page's city token.
Repeat out-of-range values.
Send to a draw site near 33064 when possible.
DSM-5-TR framing for psychiatric lab testing
When a mill already drew chaos and we need clean timed labs.
psychiatric lab testing still needs a hypothesis.
Neuropathy plus metformin plus mood.
Not indicated: proving you are 'not crazy.'

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.
