In-office versus Florida telehealth
Margate sits in Broward County. County-level resources (crisis lines, hospital ERs, IOP programs) are discussed during Wellness & Weight Management when a higher level of care is safer than outpatient titration.
Commute noise on I-95 and the Turnpike changes whether an in-office Wellness & Weight Management visit is realistic this week. Telehealth is used when the clinical exam does not require the office.
Set behavior metrics, not only pounds.
Telehealth for follow-up; office for exams.
