How North Miami Beach patients actually get here
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.
South Florida heat, hurricane disruption, shift work, and multigenerational households show up in North Miami Beach presentations. Telehealth Psychiatry intake asks about those stressors explicitly.

Access from North Miami Beach
Neighborhoods we hear from most in North Miami Beach include Eastern Shores, Fulford, and the U.S. 1 commercial strip. ZIP codes 33160, 33162, 33169, 33179 map to this service-area page.

North Miami Beach FAQs for Telehealth Psychiatry
Is this the same as therapy?
No. This is medical psychiatric care. Therapy referrals remain separate.
Will you see me in a parked car?
Only if it is private, stationary, and clinically appropriate. Driving is a no.
Can you send meds to my pharmacy?
Yes, a Florida pharmacy you designate.
How close is the office if I need to convert?
About 24 minutes from North Miami Beach to 7603 Davie Road Extension.
What if Zoom fails?
We call you. If safety is in question, we use emergency pathways.
What about emergencies?
988 or ER. Video visits are not emergency departments.
Can North Miami Beach residents use your Hollywood office?
Yes. Our Hollywood office is about 15 minutes from North Miami Beach via I-95. We also offer telehealth for routine medication management and follow-up appointments.
Do you understand immigration-related mental health challenges?
Yes. We see many patients dealing with adjustment stress, anxiety related to immigration experiences, and intergenerational trauma. Our evaluations consider these cultural and social factors alongside clinical symptoms.
Protocol elements we do not skip
No prescribing if location cannot be established.
End visit if another person is coaching answers off-camera in a way that corrupts history.
Do not use SMS for clinical decision-making.
Tech test before first visit when possible.
Next step
After Telehealth Psychiatry is scheduled, complete intake forms once. Repeating the same history at every visit is what we are trying to avoid.
If you already have records from another psychiatrist, NP, or therapist, send them before Telehealth Psychiatry so the interview can start from data instead of from a blank page.

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.
