GeneSight-informed trials after failed antidepressants
We measure what the drug can harm: sodium, TSH, lipids, A1c, weight, AIMS, pregnancy — class by class.
What Medication Management actually includes
Sleep medication management asks whether the drug is treating insomnia or hiding apnea and alcohol.
Antipsychotic monitoring is metabolic and neurologic, not just 'mood better / worse.'
Monitoring and safety in Medication Management
Stimulants: BP/HR, sleep, appetite, PDMP, diversion discussion.
Alcohol withdrawal is not managed as an anxiety refill.
QTc risk: ECG when combining high-risk agents.
Formulary alternatives offered without pretending they are identical.
How Pompano Beach patients actually get here
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.
Neighborhoods we hear from most in Pompano Beach include Old Pompano, Cresthaven, and the beach barrier island. ZIP codes 33060, 33062, 33064, 33069 map to this service-area page.
Review PDMP and allergies.
Telehealth visits verify Florida location.
From intake to follow-up: Medication Management
If side effects appear, do not wait for the next quarterly slot — tighten follow-up.
Reconcile the current list, including OTC, cannabis, and hormones.
Telehealth visits verify Florida location.

28-minute path to the Hollywood office
Neighborhoods we hear from most in Pompano Beach include Old Pompano, Cresthaven, and the beach barrier island. ZIP codes 33060, 33062, 33064, 33069 map to this service-area page.
South Florida heat, hurricane disruption, shift work, and multigenerational households show up in Pompano Beach presentations. Medication Management intake asks about those stressors explicitly.
Pompano Beach sits in Broward County. County-level resources (crisis lines, hospital ERs, IOP programs) are discussed during Medication Management when a higher level of care is safer than outpatient titration.
Sleeping pills masked untreated sleep apnea.
What we rule in — and rule out
Not indicated as a replacement for inpatient care when risk is high.
Intolerable side effects that might respond to dose change, switch, or adjunct.
Need for metabolic or neurologic monitoring on an existing antipsychotic or mood stabilizer.
Polypharmacy review when the list exceeds what the diagnosis can justify.
Next step
Crisis now is 988 or the ER — not the booking form. For non-urgent Medication Management, use (888) 307-2199 during weekday hours.
After Medication 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.
