Weston sits in Broward County. County-level resources (crisis lines, hospital ERs, IOP programs) are discussed during Functional Psychiatry & Lab Testing when a higher level of care is safer than outpatient titration.

Parking at 7603 Davie Road Extension is on site. Weston patients who drive 24 minutes should plan for weekday 9:00–17:00 hours; Saturday is by appointment only.

Crisis now is 988 or the ER — not the booking form. For non-urgent Functional Psychiatry & Lab Testing, use (888) 307-2199 during weekday hours.
After Functional Psychiatry & Lab Testing is scheduled, complete intake forms once. Repeating the same history at every visit is what we are trying to avoid.
