Tapering is a procedure. Stopping paroxetine or a benzodiazepine 'cold' is not a plan.
Medication Management for Pembroke Pines patients
Leftover 'affordable refill' slugs are not a cash-pay promise.
Psychiatric medication management is ongoing medical treatment: indication, dose, monitoring, and an exit plan.
In-office versus Florida telehealth
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.
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.

Check labs due for the current class.
Questions we hear about Medication Management
Will you take over my current list?
After a diagnostic review. We do not rubber-stamp unsafe combinations.
Do you work with my therapist?
With consent, yes. Medication does not replace psychotherapy when both are indicated.
What labs do I need?
Depends on the drug: TSH, lithium level, A1c, etc. We will list them in the plan.
Do you prescribe benzodiazepines long-term?
Rarely, with a documented indication and a taper orientation. They are not a standing plan for GAD.
Will I get a refill without a visit?
Not as a routine. Monitoring interval is part of the prescription.
Do you monitor antipsychotics?
Weight, A1c, lipids, and neurologic side effects are part of the protocol.
How close are you to Pembroke Pines?
Our Hollywood office is approximately 10 minutes from central Pembroke Pines via Pines Boulevard or Sheridan Street. We also offer telehealth for maximum convenience.
Do you serve Century Village Pembroke Pines?
Yes, we serve many patients from Century Village and specialize in age-related mood changes, medication management for seniors, and hormone therapy.
