Secure telepsychiatry from a Hollywood medical home

Clinical scope of Telehealth Psychiatry in Broward County
Digital mental health without a chart is not this clinic.

Order labs to a draw site near 33064 when indicated.

Clinical FAQ
Is it encrypted?
Yes. Still avoid public Wi-Fi.
How close is the office if I need to convert?
About 32 minutes from Lighthouse Point to 7603 Davie Road Extension.
Is 'online psychiatrist' an MD?
Consumer language. Your clinician is a PMHNP-BC. We do not hide that.
Do you prescribe Adderall by video?
Only if the evaluation and PDMP support it, and policy allows. Not as a first-click product.
Does insurance cover telehealth?
Often; verify. Coverage is not guaranteed by this page.
Do I have to be in Florida?
Yes, at the time of the visit.
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.

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.
