Questions we hear about Medication Management
Where is the office for in-person med checks?
7603 Davie Road Extension, Hollywood, FL 33024 — about 22 minutes from Wilton Manors.
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.
Will I get a refill without a visit?
Not as a routine. Monitoring interval is part of the prescription.
Can you help me taper?
Yes. Tapers are scheduled by drug class. Do not stop MAOIs, benzos, or paroxetine abruptly on your own.
What is GeneSight?
A pharmacogenetic panel that may adjust probabilities for certain antidepressants. It does not diagnose ADHD or depression.
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.

Wilton Manors sits in Broward County. County-level resources (crisis lines, hospital ERs, IOP programs) are discussed during Medication Management when a higher level of care is safer than outpatient titration.

How Medication Management is structured
Decide: continue, adjust, switch, or taper — one primary change when possible.
Set the next visit before the bottle runs out.
Send the prescription to a named pharmacy; document the pharmacy.
Telehealth visits verify Florida location.
Protocol elements we do not skip
Formulary alternatives offered without pretending they are identical.
Alcohol withdrawal is not managed as an anxiety refill.
SGAs: weight, A1c, lipids; AIMS on a schedule.
MAOI diet and washout rules if that class is ever used.
Next step
If you already have records from another psychiatrist, NP, or therapist, send them before Medication Management so the interview can start from data instead of from a blank page.
Start with one thorough Medication Management evaluation rather than a series of 15-minute check-ins. Book at (888) 307-2199 or online.
