In-office versus Florida telehealth
ZIP 33023 is the lead postal code listed for Miramar. Mail-order labs and pharmacy routing still use the patient's actual address, not this page's city token.

How Functional Psychiatry & Lab Testing is structured
Treat, refer, or watch — with a date.
Refuse to interpret another clinic's mystery panel if it is uninterpretable — we may redraw targeted tests.

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.
