What we will not order
Functional is a method (history → hypothesis → test), not a brand of IV.
Functional Psychiatry & Lab Testing for Miramar patients
Functional psychiatry labs are hypothesis-driven tests inside a psychiatric evaluation.
TSH in psychiatric evaluation is common because hypothyroidism mimics mood/cognitive complaints.
16-minute path to the Hollywood office
South Florida heat, hurricane disruption, shift work, and multigenerational households show up in Miramar presentations. Functional Psychiatry & Lab Testing intake asks about those stressors explicitly.
Neighborhoods we hear from most in Miramar include Silver Shores, Riviera Isles, and the Miramar Parkway corridor. ZIP codes 33023, 33025, 33027, 33029 map to this service-area page.
Miramar sits in Broward County. County-level resources (crisis lines, hospital ERs, IOP programs) are discussed during Functional Psychiatry & Lab Testing when a higher level of care is safer than outpatient titration.

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.
