Questions we hear about IV Hydration & Injectables
Eating disorder?
IVs are not a workaround for not eating.
Infection risk?
Real. Aseptic technique required.
Who supervises?
Clinical staff under the practice's medical model.
Heart or kidney disease?
Often a no. We screen.
Telehealth IV?
Impossible. Do not trust anyone who says otherwise.
Where?
Clinical setting in Hollywood, 18 min from Plantation.
How long is the drive from Plantation?
Our Hollywood office is approximately 15-20 minutes from Plantation via 595 or Broward Boulevard. Telehealth is also available for follow-up appointments.
Do you take a functional approach to psychiatry?
Yes. Beyond traditional medication management, we investigate root causes including hormone levels, thyroid function, and nutritional deficiencies — an approach Plantation patients particularly value.
18-minute path to the Hollywood office
Plantation sits in Broward County. County-level resources (crisis lines, hospital ERs, IOP programs) are discussed during IV Hydration & Injectables when a higher level of care is safer than outpatient titration.
South Florida heat, hurricane disruption, shift work, and multigenerational households show up in Plantation presentations. IV Hydration & Injectables intake asks about those stressors explicitly.
Commute noise on I-95 and the Turnpike changes whether an in-office IV Hydration & Injectables visit is realistic this week. Telehealth is used when the clinical exam does not require the office.
You needed electrolytes from vomiting — that is ER/urgent care, not a brand lounge.

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.
