How Plantation patients actually get here
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.
Parking at 7603 Davie Road Extension is on site. Plantation patients who drive 18 minutes should plan for weekday 9:00–17:00 hours; Saturday is by appointment only.
Safety if BMI or vitals are unsafe.
Decide: therapy, dietitian, med switch, anti-obesity med, or higher care.
DSM-5-TR framing for wellness weight loss
wellness weight loss still needs screening.
Patients asking for GLP-1 who also have a psych history.
Patients who want monitoring, not a challenge.
Not indicated to treat anorexia with a GLP-1.
Clinical FAQ
Hormone weight loss?
Labs if indicated. Hormones are not a fat-melting SKU.
Sleep?
Apnea and insomnia are part of weight care.
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.
How far is the office?
18 minutes from Plantation.
Telehealth?
Follow-up if you are in Florida. Exams as needed in Hollywood.
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.
