Clinical FAQ
What about emergencies?
988 or ER. Video visits are not emergency departments.
Do you record the visit?
We document a note. We do not post visits.
Will you see me in a parked car?
Only if it is private, stationary, and clinically appropriate. Driving is a no.
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.
Affordable online psych URL?
Retained slug. Not a discount brand.
Can I do the first visit by video?
Often yes if privacy and risk allow. We may require Hollywood for complex or high-risk cases.
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.
