60–90 minute psychiatric evaluation in Hollywood, serving Cooper City
Telehealth is a setting, not a different standard of diagnosis.
Clinical scope of Psychiatric Evaluations in Broward County
Initial consults at this clinic are scheduled as 60–90 minutes because a 20-minute slot cannot hold a reliable differential.
Eating-disorder psychiatric evaluation looks at restriction, binge-purge, body image, electrolytes, and when a higher level of care is safer than outpatient Psychiatric Evaluations.

From intake to follow-up: Psychiatric Evaluations
Medical review flags thyroid, anemia, cardiac QT risk, pregnancy, and neurologic symptoms that redirect the workup.
Follow-up is scheduled before you leave so the evaluation is not a one-off performance.
Psychiatric review of systems covers mood, anxiety, psychosis, OCD, trauma, ADHD, sleep, eating, and substance use even if you came for only one of those.
Scales are chosen to match the hypothesis — we do not print every questionnaire in the building.

Clinical FAQ
Do you replace my therapist?
No. Psychiatric evaluation and psychotherapy are complementary.
Can I use this evaluation for a legal letter?
Only if the interview actually supports the opinion. We do not write unsupported letters.
Can you evaluate psychosis?
Yes, and we will escalate to a higher level of care if outpatient treatment is unsafe.
What does 'affordable' in some URLs mean?
Leftover slugs. We do not market cheap care. We bill insurance when in-network and discuss costs before non-covered labs.
How do I prepare?
Medication list, prior psych notes, recent labs, and a timeline of symptoms. Sleep and menstrual data help.
What labs might you order?
Hypothesis-driven: TSH with free T4, ferritin, vitamin D, B12, folate, CBC, CMP, and selected hormones. Not every patient needs every test.
Is Cooper City close to your office?
Very close — our Hollywood office at 7603 Davie Road Extension is about 10 minutes from Cooper City via Stirling Road or Griffin Road.
Do you work with families?
Yes. We provide psychiatric evaluations and medication management for adults, and can coordinate care with family therapists for a comprehensive approach.
