Medication management from the Hollywood medical home
Polypharmacy is treated as a risk to be justified, not a badge of complexity.
What Medication Management actually includes
Refill-only care is not offered. If you need only a refill, you still need a monitoring interval.
Functional psychiatry does not mean 'no medication.' It means medication plus the labs that could change the choice.
DSM-5-TR framing for mood stabilizer adjustment
Failed or partial response to a current agent after an adequate trial.
Perinatal prescribing only with risk-benefit counseling.
Intolerable side effects that might respond to dose change, switch, or adjunct.
A DSM-5-TR diagnosis that has an evidence-based pharmacologic option the patient wants to consider.
Visit flow for Medication Management
Share the plan with the therapist when consent exists.
Review PDMP and allergies.
No-show after a high-risk start triggers outreach.
Counsel on onset, alcohol, driving, pregnancy, and overdose risk.

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.
