Clinical FAQ
What about emergencies?
988 or ER. Video visits are not emergency departments.
Do you record the visit?
We document a note. We do not post visits.
Is it encrypted?
Yes. Still avoid public Wi-Fi.
Do you prescribe Adderall by video?
Only if the evaluation and PDMP support it, and policy allows. Not as a first-click product.
Affordable online psych URL?
Retained slug. Not a discount brand.
What if my kids are home in Sunrise?
We need a private room. Headphones help; a closed door is better. We will reschedule rather than take a corrupted history.
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.

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.
