Next step
Call (888) 307-2199 to hold an appointment for Massage Therapy. Mention Pembroke Pines so staff can plan in-office versus Florida telehealth for the first visit.
If you already have records from another psychiatrist, NP, or therapist, send them before Massage Therapy 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.
