Clinical intake for Psychiatric Evaluations in Davie
PHQ-9, GAD-7, ASRS, and MDQ are scored when the history supports them. Scores guide Psychiatric Evaluations; they do not replace it.
Psychiatric Evaluations for Davie patients
Comprehensive assessment includes past treatments, doses, durations, and why they stopped — the data that actually changes the next trial.
Mood disorder evaluation asks about duration, anhedonia, mixed features, postpartum onset, seasonality, and hypomania — because treatment diverges.
From intake to follow-up: Psychiatric Evaluations
If telehealth was used, we record why an in-office visit was or was not required.
Mental status exam is documented: appearance, speech, affect, thought process, insight, cognition, and risk.
After the visit you should be able to repeat the working diagnosis and the next three steps.
Records from other clinicians are requested with your authorization; we do not pretend collateral is optional when the history is fragmented.

Credentials and method
Informed consent for Psychiatric Evaluations covers benefits, risks, alternatives (including no medication), and the limits of telehealth. Patients can decline any lab or medication without losing access to the diagnostic formulation.
Crisis care is not provided after hours. Psychiatric Evaluations patients in acute danger are directed to 988 or an emergency department. Ongoing care resumes after medical stabilization.
Visit length for new Psychiatric Evaluations is typically 60–90 minutes. Follow-up length depends on risk, controlled substances, and how many variables changed since the last visit.
Clinical FAQ
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.
How long is a psychiatric evaluation?
New evaluations are typically 60–90 minutes. Follow-up length depends on risk and how many variables changed.
How soon is follow-up?
Often 2–4 weeks after a new medication or a complex formulation; longer when stable.
Is the visit confidential?
HIPAA applies, with the usual safety exceptions (imminent harm, mandated reports).
Do hormones cause psychiatric symptoms?
They can contribute. They rarely explain an entire syndrome by themselves. We test when the history points there.
Do you see children?
The practice is primarily adults and older adolescents, considered case-by-case.
How far are you from NSU?
Our Hollywood office is approximately 10 minutes from Nova Southeastern University's main campus, making us a convenient option for students seeking psychiatric care.
Do you treat college students from Davie?
Absolutely. We work with many college-age patients on ADHD management, anxiety, depression, and adjustment disorders common in academic settings.

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.
