Telehealth ADHD care after a real differential

Clinical scope of Telehealth Psychiatry in Broward County
Home evaluation is allowed when the environment is private and the presentation is not an emergency.
Leftover affordable-online slugs are not a discount product.
Questions we hear about Telehealth Psychiatry
Affordable online psych URL?
Retained slug. Not a discount brand.
Do you record the visit?
We document a note. We do not post visits.
Can you send meds to my pharmacy?
Yes, a Florida pharmacy you designate.
What platform do you use?
A HIPAA-compliant video platform. You will get a link after booking.
What if my kids are home in Lighthouse Point?
We need a private room. Headphones help; a closed door is better. We will reschedule rather than take a corrupted history.
What about emergencies?
988 or ER. Video visits are not emergency departments.
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.
