About this condition

How schizophrenia & psychosis is evaluated and treated

Structured, supportive care including symptom management, medication review, and functional recovery goals.

Care for Weston patients begins with a full psychiatric evaluation: current symptoms and how long they have lasted, psychiatric and medical history, medications and supplements, sleep, substance use, family history, and the daily stressors specific to work, school, and family life. From there we discuss a diagnosis in plain language and build a treatment plan together.

When medication is appropriate, options, expected benefits, side effects, and monitoring are reviewed at each visit. When helpful, care is coordinated with therapy, primary care, or other specialists, and laboratory or psychological testing may be recommended.

Getting to care from Weston

Weston connects through I-75 and the Turnpike, roughly 50 minutes to the office depending on the Miami-Dade merge. Weston's large Spanish-speaking and Latin American community means most appointments here are requested in Spanish.

Hybrid care is typical: an in-person evaluation, then Spanish-language telehealth follow-ups that avoid the I-75 corridor at peak hours. For schizophrenia and psychotic disorders specifically, that means symptom review and medication monitoring stay on schedule without Weston patients rearranging a whole workday. Appointments are available in English and Spanish, and records can be shared with your primary care physician or therapist in Weston on request.
