Lighthouse Point FAQs for Telehealth Psychiatry
What platform do you use?
A HIPAA-compliant video platform. You will get a link after booking.
What about emergencies?
988 or ER. Video visits are not emergency departments.
Is this the same as therapy?
No. This is medical psychiatric care. Therapy referrals remain separate.
Can you send meds to my pharmacy?
Yes, a Florida pharmacy you designate.
Will you see me in a parked car?
Only if it is private, stationary, and clinically appropriate. Driving is a no.
Is 'online psychiatrist' an MD?
Consumer language. Your clinician is a PMHNP-BC. We do not hide that.
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.
