ADHD medication titration after a real differential
Plantation patients (18 min to Hollywood) can split care: in-office labs, video titration when stable.
Medication Management for Plantation patients
Refill-only care is not offered. If you need only a refill, you still need a monitoring interval.
Psych med management includes saying no when the requested drug does not match the diagnosis.
Clinical FAQ
Will I get a refill without a visit?
Not as a routine. Monitoring interval is part of the prescription.
Where is the office for in-person med checks?
7603 Davie Road Extension, Hollywood, FL 33024 — about 18 minutes from Plantation.
What about pregnancy?
Tell us before a prescription is sent. Some agents need specialist coordination.
Will you take over my current list?
After a diagnostic review. We do not rubber-stamp unsafe combinations.
Do you monitor antipsychotics?
Weight, A1c, lipids, and neurologic side effects are part of the protocol.
Can you prescribe if I am traveling?
Only if you are physically in a state where we are licensed — currently Florida telehealth.
How long is the drive from Plantation?
Our Hollywood office is approximately 15-20 minutes from Plantation via 595 or Broward Boulevard. Telehealth is also available for follow-up appointments.
Do you take a functional approach to psychiatry?
Yes. Beyond traditional medication management, we investigate root causes including hormone levels, thyroid function, and nutritional deficiencies — an approach Plantation patients particularly value.

Telehealth visits verify Florida location.
Credentials and method
Psychology Today verification and GeneSight partnership are listed as practice credentials. They support Medication Management; they are not a diagnosis and they are not a guarantee of outcome.
Functional labs (TSH with free T4/T3, ferritin, vitamin D, sex hormones, hs-CRP) are ordered when the history for Medication Management suggests a medical contributor. Normal labs do not rule out a DSM-5-TR diagnosis.
The practice does not publish fabricated star ratings. Patient stories on this site are process descriptions, not purchased testimonials.
Monitoring and safety in Medication Management
New antidepressant: short-interval follow-up for activation and SI.
Formulary alternatives offered without pretending they are identical.
Opioid + benzo overlap is treated as a safety event.
MAOI diet and washout rules if that class is ever used.
How Plantation patients actually get here
{access}. That access pattern is why Medication Management for Plantation is written as a service-area page, not as a fake storefront.
Neighborhoods we hear from most in Plantation include Plantation Acres, Jacaranda, and the Broward Boulevard professional district. ZIP codes 33311, 33313, 33317, 33322 map to this service-area page.
Set the next visit before the bottle runs out.
Revisit the original diagnosis if two classes have failed.
Indications and differentials
Medication Management still has to map to a problem on the list.
Failed or partial response to a current agent after an adequate trial.
Perinatal prescribing only with risk-benefit counseling.
Hypnotics only after sleep differential, not as a standing nightcap.
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.
