Clinical FAQ
Crisis?
988 or ER. Especially for postpartum psychosis.
What labs?
Individualized: estradiol, progesterone, FSH, TSH, ferritin, vitamin D as indicated.
Do you prescribe HRT?
When indicated after history, labs, and risk counseling, and often in coordination with GYN. This is not a pellet mill.
Do you work with my OB/GYN?
With consent.
How close is the office?
About 28 minutes from Margate.
Do you treat postpartum depression?
We evaluate and treat. Postpartum psychosis is an emergency.
Do you treat older adults from Margate?
Yes. We specialize in mood changes related to aging, medication management for complex cases, and hormone replacement therapy for both men and women experiencing age-related hormonal decline.
What's the best way to reach you from Margate?
Drive time is about 25 minutes via 441 or the Turnpike. Many Margate patients choose telehealth for routine follow-ups and in-person visits for initial evaluations.
How Women's Hormone Therapy is structured
Coordinate with GYN/PCP.
Set monitoring: bleeding, mood scales, BP, labs.
Complete psychiatric evaluation standards (safety, bipolar screen, substances).
Write the plan so the patient can repeat the risks.
Parking, hours, and video visits
Margate sits in Broward County. County-level resources (crisis lines, hospital ERs, IOP programs) are discussed during Women's Hormone Therapy when a higher level of care is safer than outpatient titration.
Commute noise on I-95 and the Turnpike changes whether an in-office Women's Hormone Therapy visit is realistic this week. Telehealth is used when the clinical exam does not require the office.
Do not start estrogen and a new antidepressant on the same day without a reason.
Document lactation plans.

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