Functional Psychiatry & Lab Testing for Lighthouse Point patients
Lab testing psych in Hollywood includes interpretation.

Clinical FAQ
Telehealth results?
If you are in Florida.
Can labs be wrong?
Yes. We repeat when needed.
Is GeneSight required?
No.
How soon results?
Depends on the lab. We schedule a results visit.
Iron?
Ferritin when the story fits.
Genetic privacy?
We treat it as sensitive data.
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.
Access from Lighthouse Point
Lighthouse Point sits in Broward County. County-level resources (crisis lines, hospital ERs, IOP programs) are discussed during Functional Psychiatry & Lab Testing when a higher level of care is safer than outpatient titration.
{access}. That access pattern is why Functional Psychiatry & Lab Testing for Lighthouse Point is written as a service-area page, not as a fake storefront.
Parking at 7603 Davie Road Extension is on site. Lighthouse Point patients who drive 32 minutes should plan for weekday 9:00–17:00 hours; Saturday is by appointment only.
B12 deficiency missed for years of 'treatment-resistant depression.'
In-office versus Florida telehealth
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.
Lighthouse Point (Broward County) has about 10,500 residents. The nearest Peace & Heart Wellness exam room is the Hollywood office, about 32 minutes from Lighthouse Point Yacht Club and the Venetian Waterway.

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.
