Questions we hear about Telehealth Psychiatry
What if Zoom fails?
We call you. If safety is in question, we use emergency pathways.
Do I have to be in Florida?
Yes, at the time of the visit.
What if I travel to Georgia?
We cannot see you by telehealth while you are outside Florida.
Can a family member sit in?
With your consent, as collateral. Not as a substitute historian who takes over.
Affordable online psych URL?
Retained slug. Not a discount brand.
Will you see me in a parked car?
Only if it is private, stationary, and clinically appropriate. Driving is a no.
Do you treat anxiety related to life transitions?
Yes. Life transitions — career changes, relocations, relationship shifts — are common triggers for anxiety and depression. Our evaluations assess these factors and create targeted treatment plans.
How far is Oakland Park from your office?
Our Hollywood office is about 20 minutes from Oakland Park. Telehealth appointments are also available for follow-up medication management visits.

After Telehealth Psychiatry is scheduled, complete intake forms once. Repeating the same history at every visit is what we are trying to avoid.

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.
