Refills are tied to clinical follow-up. Portal messages do not restart stimulants or benzodiazepines.
Clinical scope of Medication Management in Broward County
Mood-stabilizer adjustment uses levels, kidney/thyroid labs, and teratogenicity counseling when relevant.
Sleep medication management asks whether the drug is treating insomnia or hiding apnea and alcohol.
Clinical FAQ
Do you prescribe benzodiazepines long-term?
Rarely, with a documented indication and a taper orientation. They are not a standing plan for GAD.
What about pregnancy?
Tell us before a prescription is sent. Some agents need specialist coordination.
Do you work with my therapist?
With consent, yes. Medication does not replace psychotherapy when both are indicated.
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.
Are leftover 'affordable refill' URLs a discount?
No. They are retained slugs. Billing follows insurance contracts.
What is GeneSight?
A pharmacogenetic panel that may adjust probabilities for certain antidepressants. It does not diagnose ADHD or depression.
Do you accept insurance for Sunrise patients?
Yes, we accept most major insurance plans. Call us at (888) 307-2199 to verify your specific coverage before your first appointment.
Can I get evening or weekend telehealth appointments?
We offer flexible scheduling to accommodate work schedules. Contact our office to discuss available appointment times.

Credentials and method
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.
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.
GeneSight pharmacogenetic testing is available when prior antidepressant trials failed or side effects were limiting. Results are probabilistic, not deterministic.
Monitoring and safety in Medication Management
MAOI diet and washout rules if that class is ever used.
Hyponatremia: BMP in older adults on SSRIs when symptoms fit.
Clozapine: ANC monitoring — we refer if we cannot meet the REMS cadence.
Benzodiazepines: indication, duration limit, taper language.
Parking, hours, and video visits
Parking at 7603 Davie Road Extension is on site. Sunrise patients who drive 22 minutes should plan for weekday 9:00–17:00 hours; Saturday is by appointment only.
{access}. That access pattern is why Medication Management for Sunrise is written as a service-area page, not as a fake storefront.
If side effects appear, do not wait for the next quarterly slot — tighten follow-up.
If prior authorization is required, start it the same day.
Book Medication Management
After Medication Management is scheduled, complete intake forms once. Repeating the same history at every visit is what we are trying to avoid.
Questions about insurance, labs, or whether Medication Management can be done by video: call (888) 307-2199 before you book so the visit type matches the clinical need.
