Clinical FAQ
Can I refuse weight as a goal?
Yes. We can treat binge-eating and mood without a scale goal.
Insurance?
Verify. Metabolic meds and visits have different coverage rules.
Walk-in?
No.
Can my antipsychotic stay?
Sometimes yes with monitoring; sometimes a switch is safer. That is a risk-benefit talk.
Will you weigh me every visit?
Only if it is clinically useful and not harmful to your eating-disorder recovery.

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.
