Credentials and method
Functional labs (TSH with free T4/T3, ferritin, vitamin D, sex hormones, hs-CRP) are ordered when the history for Functional Psychiatry & Lab Testing suggests a medical contributor. Normal labs do not rule out a DSM-5-TR diagnosis.
HIPAA-compliant records, encrypted telehealth, and a single Hollywood office at 7603 Davie Road Extension keep Functional Psychiatry & Lab Testing identifiable to one medical home instead of a rotating locum panel.
