Psychiatric medication management for Coral Springs
Tapering is a procedure. Stopping paroxetine or a benzodiazepine 'cold' is not a plan.
Clinical scope of Medication Management in Broward County
Refill-only care is not offered. If you need only a refill, you still need a monitoring interval.
Telehealth medication management still requires Florida presence, identity check, and a visit note.
How Medication Management is structured
Decide: continue, adjust, switch, or taper — one primary change when possible.
Reconcile the current list, including OTC, cannabis, and hormones.
Send the prescription to a named pharmacy; document the pharmacy.
Document why a requested stimulant or benzo was declined.
What we rule in — and rule out
Bridge care after hospitalization until a stable outpatient cadence exists.
Not indicated to supply controlled substances without a supporting diagnosis and monitoring plan.
ADHD medication only after the evaluation supports ADHD over mimics.
Medication Management still has to map to a problem on the list.
Monitoring and safety in Medication Management
Hyponatremia: BMP in older adults on SSRIs when symptoms fit.
Clozapine: ANC monitoring — we refer if we cannot meet the REMS cadence.
Alcohol withdrawal is not managed as an anxiety refill.
Stimulants: BP/HR, sleep, appetite, PDMP, diversion discussion.
Clinical FAQ
Do you treat insomnia with medication only?
No. We look for apnea, circadian issues, alcohol, and psychiatric drivers.
What about pregnancy?
Tell us before a prescription is sent. Some agents need specialist coordination.
Where is the office for in-person med checks?
7603 Davie Road Extension, Hollywood, FL 33024 — about 32 minutes from Coral Springs.
Can I refuse a medication?
Always. Informed consent includes the option of no medication.
Will you take over my current list?
After a diagnostic review. We do not rubber-stamp unsafe combinations.
What is GeneSight?
A pharmacogenetic panel that may adjust probabilities for certain antidepressants. It does not diagnose ADHD or depression.
Do you work with patients dealing with trauma-related anxiety?
Yes. Our psychiatric evaluations thoroughly assess anxiety and trauma-related conditions, and we create comprehensive treatment plans that may include medication, therapy referrals, and functional testing.
Is telehealth available for Coral Springs patients?
Absolutely. Many Coral Springs patients use our secure telehealth platform, especially for follow-up medication management appointments. It saves the drive while maintaining quality of care.
Parking, hours, and video visits

Review PDMP and allergies.
Telehealth visits verify Florida location.
Evidence we actually use
Controlled-substance prescribing, when used in Medication Management, follows Florida PDMP review and a monitoring plan. Stimulants and benzodiazepines are never started from a portal message alone.
Documentation for Medication Management uses problem lists, differential diagnosis, and follow-up intervals — not marketing slogans. Visit notes are written so a covering clinician could continue care safely.
The practice does not publish fabricated star ratings. Patient stories on this site are process descriptions, not purchased testimonials.
Next step
Call (888) 307-2199 to hold an appointment for Medication Management. Mention Coral Springs so staff can plan in-office versus Florida telehealth for the first visit.
If you already have records from another psychiatrist, NP, or therapist, send them before Medication Management so the interview can start from data instead of from a blank page.

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.
