Lighthouse Point FAQs for Wellness & Weight Management
Supplements?
Only if evidence and safety support them. No mystery stacks.
Sleep?
Apnea and insomnia are part of weight care.
Do you offer IV weight loss?
No.
Will you weigh me every visit?
Only if it is clinically useful and not harmful to your eating-disorder recovery.
Is this a weight-loss spa?
No. It is psychiatric and metabolic overlap care.
Crisis / medical instability?
ER. Especially with restriction and electrolyte risk.
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
Commute noise on I-95 and the Turnpike changes whether an in-office Wellness & Weight Management visit is realistic this week. Telehealth is used when the clinical exam does not require the office.
South Florida heat, hurricane disruption, shift work, and multigenerational households show up in Lighthouse Point presentations. Wellness & Weight Management intake asks about those stressors explicitly.
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.
Binge episodes are secret in a Lighthouse Point household.

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.
