Book Wellness & Weight Management
Start with one thorough Wellness & Weight Management evaluation rather than a series of 15-minute check-ins. Book at (888) 307-2199 or online.
If you already have records from another psychiatrist, NP, or therapist, send them before Wellness & Weight Management so the interview can start from data instead of from a blank page.

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.
