Clinical FAQ
Do you see children?
The practice is primarily adults and older adolescents, considered case-by-case.
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.
Do hormones cause psychiatric symptoms?
They can contribute. They rarely explain an entire syndrome by themselves. We test when the history points there.
Is GeneSight required?
No. It is considered after failed medication trials or significant side effects.
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.
Where is the office?
7603 Davie Road Extension, Hollywood, FL 33024 — about 22 minutes from Oakland Park.
Do you treat anxiety related to life transitions?
Yes. Life transitions — career changes, relocations, relationship shifts — are common triggers for anxiety and depression. Our evaluations assess these factors and create targeted treatment plans.
How far is Oakland Park from your office?
Our Hollywood office is about 20 minutes from Oakland Park. Telehealth appointments are also available for follow-up medication management visits.
