Virtual anxiety treatment still names GAD vs panic vs medical mimic.
Top-rated virtual therapy language on old URLs is leftover copy; this service is medical psychiatry, which may include therapy referral.
What we rule in — and rule out
home psych evaluation still has to be a medical visit, not a chat.
Not indicated outside Florida.
Perinatal patients may use video for counseling and some follow-up; obstetric emergencies are not telehealth.
Not a replacement for sleep studies or imaging.

Plantation FAQs for Telehealth Psychiatry
Can you send meds to my pharmacy?
Yes, a Florida pharmacy you designate.
Does insurance cover telehealth?
Often; verify. Coverage is not guaranteed by this page.
Can you order labs?
Yes, to draw sites near 33311.
Is this the same as therapy?
No. This is medical psychiatric care. Therapy referrals remain separate.
What if my kids are home in Plantation?
We need a private room. Headphones help; a closed door is better. We will reschedule rather than take a corrupted history.
What if Zoom fails?
We call you. If safety is in question, we use emergency pathways.
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.
