Medication management from the Hollywood medical home
Tapering is a procedure. Stopping paroxetine or a benzodiazepine 'cold' is not a plan.
What Medication Management actually includes
Psychiatric medication management is ongoing medical treatment: indication, dose, monitoring, and an exit plan.
Genetic testing (pharmacogenomics) may change CYP2D6/2C19 probabilities. It is not a personality test.
Protocol elements we do not skip
Formulary alternatives offered without pretending they are identical.
Benzodiazepines: indication, duration limit, taper language.
Missed labs = delayed titration.
QTc risk: ECG when combining high-risk agents.
Access from Pembroke Pines
Parking at 7603 Davie Road Extension is on site. Pembroke Pines patients who drive 12 minutes should plan for weekday 9:00–17:00 hours; Saturday is by appointment only.
Commute noise on I-95 and the Turnpike changes whether an in-office Medication Management visit is realistic this week. Telehealth is used when the clinical exam does not require the office.
Pembroke Pines sits in Broward County. County-level resources (crisis lines, hospital ERs, IOP programs) are discussed during Medication Management when a higher level of care is safer than outpatient titration.
Cannabis and alcohol were left off the medication list as if they were not psychoactive.
From intake to follow-up: Medication Management
Telehealth visits verify Florida location.
Counsel on onset, alcohol, driving, pregnancy, and overdose risk.
Send the prescription to a named pharmacy; document the pharmacy.
If prior authorization is required, start it the same day.
What we rule in — and rule out
Bridge care after hospitalization until a stable outpatient cadence exists.
Antidepressants only after bipolar-spectrum screening.
Not indicated for out-of-state telehealth prescribing.
ADHD medication only after the evaluation supports ADHD over mimics.

Parking at 7603 Davie Road Extension is on site. Pembroke Pines patients who drive 12 minutes should plan for weekday 9:00–17:00 hours; Saturday is by appointment only.
Confirm the target symptom and the diagnosis it belongs to.
Decide: continue, adjust, switch, or taper — one primary change when possible.

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.
