Exercise and depression: prescription vs punishment
Leftover coaching/affordable slugs are not our clinical method.
Wellness & Weight Management for Plantation patients
Hormone weight loss is a maybe after labs — not a product name.
Affordable coaching leftover slug: this is medical care.
How Wellness & Weight Management is structured
Do not start a crash diet in active eating disorder.
Involve family only with consent.
Follow up; depression relapse often precedes weight relapse.
Refer out when the case is primarily endocrine or bariatric.
Access from Plantation
ZIP 33311 is the lead postal code listed for Plantation. Mail-order labs and pharmacy routing still use the patient's actual address, not this page's city token.
Commute noise on I-95 and the Turnpike changes whether an in-office Wellness & Weight Management visit is realistic this week. Telehealth is used when the clinical exam does not require the office.
Plantation sits in Broward County. County-level resources (crisis lines, hospital ERs, IOP programs) are discussed during Wellness & Weight Management when a higher level of care is safer than outpatient titration.
IV vitamin drips promised fat loss.
Clinical FAQ
Can I refuse weight as a goal?
Yes. We can treat binge-eating and mood without a scale goal.
Hormone weight loss?
Labs if indicated. Hormones are not a fat-melting SKU.
Do you prescribe GLP-1s?
When medically appropriate and after eating-disorder screening. Not as a cosmetic product.
Affordable coaching URL?
Retained slug. This is not cheap coaching.
Is binge-eating an eating disorder?
Binge-eating disorder is a DSM-5-TR diagnosis. We screen for it.
Do you offer IV weight loss?
No.
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.
How Plantation patients actually get here
ZIP 33311 is the lead postal code listed for Plantation. Mail-order labs and pharmacy routing still use the patient's actual address, not this page's city token.
South Florida heat, hurricane disruption, shift work, and multigenerational households show up in Plantation presentations. Wellness & Weight Management intake asks about those stressors explicitly.
Decide: therapy, dietitian, med switch, anti-obesity med, or higher care.
Safety if BMI or vitals are unsafe.
What we rule in — and rule out
Not indicated as cosmetic rapid loss.
Depression/anxiety driving intake or inactivity.
OSA plus weight plus mood.
Metabolic syndrome plus psychiatric illness.
Book Wellness & Weight Management
After Wellness & Weight Management is scheduled, complete intake forms once. Repeating the same history at every visit is what we are trying to avoid.
Start with one thorough Wellness & Weight Management evaluation rather than a series of 15-minute check-ins. Book at (888) 307-2199 or online.

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.
