Lighthouse Point FAQs for Functional Psychiatry & Lab Testing
Can I refuse?
Yes.
How soon results?
Depends on the lab. We schedule a results visit.
Adrenal fatigue?
Not a diagnosis we sell.
Office for interpretation?
32 min from Lighthouse Point if in-person.
Telehealth results?
If you are in Florida.
What if labs are normal?
We still treat the psychiatric diagnosis if it is there.
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.
What we rule in — and rule out
Not indicated: curiosity panels.
Neuropathy plus metformin plus mood.
Fatigue, cold intolerance, hair loss, or weight change suggesting thyroid/iron.
When a mill already drew chaos and we need clean timed labs.
