18-minute path to the Hollywood office
Plantation sits in Broward County. County-level resources (crisis lines, hospital ERs, IOP programs) are discussed during Men's Testosterone Therapy when a higher level of care is safer than outpatient titration.
Neighborhoods we hear from most in Plantation include Plantation Acres, Jacaranda, and the Broward Boulevard professional district. ZIP codes 33311, 33313, 33317, 33322 map to this service-area page.
Parking at 7603 Davie Road Extension is on site. Plantation patients who drive 18 minutes should plan for weekday 9:00–17:00 hours; Saturday is by appointment only.
PSA was never discussed.
Clinical FAQ
What about clots and hematocrit?
We monitor hematocrit. High counts need action, not another dose.
Do you start TRT on visit one?
Almost never. We need history and confirmatory morning labs.
Heart risk?
We discuss it. We do not advertise TRT as cardio candy.
Bone density?
We refer when indicated.
Telehealth?
Lab review and counseling if you are in Florida. Not a mail-order steroid service.
Walk-in Low T test?
Not here. Scheduled evaluation.
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.

Next step
If you already have records from another psychiatrist, NP, or therapist, send them before Men's Testosterone Therapy so the interview can start from data instead of from a blank page.
After Men's Testosterone Therapy is scheduled, complete intake forms once. Repeating the same history at every visit is what we are trying to avoid.
