North Miami Beach (Miami-Dade County) has about 43,000 residents. The nearest Peace & Heart Wellness exam room is the Hollywood office, about 24 minutes from Oleta River State Park and the 163rd Street corridor.

Parking at 7603 Davie Road Extension is on site. North Miami Beach patients who drive 24 minutes should plan for weekday 9:00–17:00 hours; Saturday is by appointment only.

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.
