Telehealth medication management for Florida patients
If the diagnosis is wrong, no titration schedule will look like recovery. We will re-evaluate rather than stack drugs.
Medication Management for Plantation patients
Tapering is scheduled. Paroxetine, venlafaxine, benzodiazepines, and stimulants each have different withdrawal physics.
Telehealth medication management still requires Florida presence, identity check, and a visit note.
What we rule in — and rule out
Not indicated as a replacement for inpatient care when risk is high.
Failed or partial response to a current agent after an adequate trial.
A DSM-5-TR diagnosis that has an evidence-based pharmacologic option the patient wants to consider.
Perinatal prescribing only with risk-benefit counseling.
Questions we hear about Medication Management
What about pregnancy?
Tell us before a prescription is sent. Some agents need specialist coordination.
What is PDMP?
Florida's prescription drug monitoring program. We check it before controlled substances.
What if side effects start this week?
Call the office. Do not wait for a distant follow-up if symptoms are severe. ER for emergency symptoms.
Do you prescribe stimulants?
When the evaluation supports ADHD and PDMP/safety checks pass. Not from a questionnaire alone.
How often are visits?
Tighter after a start or change; wider when stable and labs are current.
Will I get a refill without a visit?
Not as a routine. Monitoring interval is part of the prescription.
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.

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.
