Sunrise FAQs for Wellness & Weight Management
Self-esteem focus only?
Not if medical risk is present.
Can I refuse weight as a goal?
Yes. We can treat binge-eating and mood without a scale goal.
Sleep?
Apnea and insomnia are part of weight care.
How far is the office?
22 minutes from Sunrise.
Do you offer IV weight loss?
No.
Can my antipsychotic stay?
Sometimes yes with monitoring; sometimes a switch is safer. That is a risk-benefit talk.

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?

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.
