Functional Psychiatry & Lab Testing for Pompano Beach patients
Functional medicine psychiatry here refuses uninterpretable catalogs.
GeneSight testing in Hollywood is optional and post-failure, not a rite of intake.
28-minute path to the Hollywood office
Parking at 7603 Davie Road Extension is on site. Pompano Beach patients who drive 28 minutes should plan for weekday 9:00–17:00 hours; Saturday is by appointment only.
Pompano Beach sits in Broward County. County-level resources (crisis lines, hospital ERs, IOP programs) are discussed during Functional Psychiatry & Lab Testing when a higher level of care is safer than outpatient titration.
South Florida heat, hurricane disruption, shift work, and multigenerational households show up in Pompano Beach presentations. Functional Psychiatry & Lab Testing intake asks about those stressors explicitly.
You were sold monthly repeat panels that do not change care.

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.
