Questions we hear about Medication Management
What labs do I need?
Depends on the drug: TSH, lithium level, A1c, etc. We will list them in the plan.
What is PDMP?
Florida's prescription drug monitoring program. We check it before controlled substances.
Do you work with my therapist?
With consent, yes. Medication does not replace psychotherapy when both are indicated.
How often are visits?
Tighter after a start or change; wider when stable and labs are current.
Where is the office for in-person med checks?
7603 Davie Road Extension, Hollywood, FL 33024 — about 32 minutes from Lighthouse Point.
What is GeneSight?
A pharmacogenetic panel that may adjust probabilities for certain antidepressants. It does not diagnose ADHD or depression.
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.
