Telehealth Psychiatry for Plantation patients
Telehealth psychiatry is a delivery setting for medical psychiatric care, limited to Florida presence.
Home evaluation is allowed when the environment is private and the presentation is not an emergency.
Clinical FAQ
Is this the same as therapy?
No. This is medical psychiatric care. Therapy referrals remain separate.
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.
Can a family member sit in?
With your consent, as collateral. Not as a substitute historian who takes over.
What platform do you use?
A HIPAA-compliant video platform. You will get a link after booking.
Is it encrypted?
Yes. Still avoid public Wi-Fi.
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.
