Wilton Manors FAQs for Medication Management
Do you prescribe benzodiazepines long-term?
Rarely, with a documented indication and a taper orientation. They are not a standing plan for GAD.
Do you monitor antipsychotics?
Weight, A1c, lipids, and neurologic side effects are part of the protocol.
What about pregnancy?
Tell us before a prescription is sent. Some agents need specialist coordination.
Do you prescribe stimulants?
When the evaluation supports ADHD and PDMP/safety checks pass. Not from a questionnaire alone.
Are leftover 'affordable refill' URLs a discount?
No. They are retained slugs. Billing follows insurance contracts.
How often are visits?
Tighter after a start or change; wider when stable and labs are current.
Do you provide LGBTQ+-affirming psychiatric care?
Yes. We provide competent, affirming psychiatric care for all patients. Our hormone therapy services and psychiatric evaluations are delivered with respect for every patient's identity.
Can you coordinate hormone therapy with psychiatric medication?
Absolutely. This is one of our specialties. We understand the interplay between hormone levels and mood, and manage both under one clinical roof for optimal outcomes.

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.
