Questions we hear about Medication Management
How often are visits?

What if side effects start this week?
Call the office. Do not wait for a distant follow-up if symptoms are severe. ER for emergency symptoms.

7603 Davie Road Extension, Hollywood, FL 33024 — about 28 minutes from Pompano Beach.

Yes if you are in Florida and the case is appropriate. Controlled-substance rules still apply.

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.
