GLP-1 questions inside a psychiatric chart
IV drips are not a weight-loss indication. We will say no.
What Wellness & Weight Management actually includes
Wellness weight loss on this site means psychiatric-metabolic care, not a boot camp.
Sustainable wellness plan = behaviors + labs + meds review.
Plantation FAQs for Wellness & Weight Management
Can I refuse weight as a goal?
Yes. We can treat binge-eating and mood without a scale goal.
Sleep?
Apnea and insomnia are part of weight care.
Hormone weight loss?
Labs if indicated. Hormones are not a fat-melting SKU.
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.
Walk-in?
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.

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.
