Credentials and method

Florida telehealth for Wellness & Weight Management requires the patient to be physically in Florida at the time of the visit. Crossing a state line mid-treatment can pause prescribing until licensure allows.
Care is structured around validated instruments (PHQ-9, GAD-7, ASRS, MDQ) plus a clinical interview. Scores inform Wellness & Weight Management; they do not replace it.
