How Wellness & Weight Management is structured
Document GLP-1 risks if used.
Telehealth for follow-up; office for exams.
Follow up; depression relapse often precedes weight relapse.
Map weight trajectory onto medication starts.
Parking, hours, and video visits
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 Wellness & Weight Management visit is realistic this week. Telehealth is used when the clinical exam does not require the office.
Do not start a crash diet in active eating disorder.
Follow up; depression relapse often precedes weight relapse.
Monitoring and safety in Wellness & Weight Management
Alcohol quantification.
GLP-1: contraindication check, follow-up GI/mood.
Sleep screen.
Do not display before/after marketing in clinic.
