Plantation FAQs for Wellness & Weight Management
Affordable coaching URL?
Retained slug. This is not cheap coaching.
How far is the office?
18 minutes from Plantation.
Can I refuse weight as a goal?
Yes. We can treat binge-eating and mood without a scale goal.
Can my antipsychotic stay?
Sometimes yes with monitoring; sometimes a switch is safer. That is a risk-benefit talk.
Do I need a dietitian?
Often yes. We refer.
Insurance?
Verify. Metabolic meds and visits have different coverage rules.
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.
Protocol elements we do not skip

Privacy around weighing.

Next step
Request a Wellness & Weight Management visit by calling (888) 307-2199 or using the booking form. Bring current medications, prior labs, and a list of what has already been tried.
After Wellness & Weight Management is scheduled, complete intake forms once. Repeating the same history at every visit is what we are trying to avoid.

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.
