Ongoing Medication Care Near Davie
Medication management is continuing care, not a one-time prescription: a thorough evaluation first, then scheduled follow-ups to track response, watch for side effects, fine-tune doses, and coordinate with any therapist or family doctor you see.
Transferring care? Your records are requested and reviewed, and your current regimen is treated as the starting point, not discarded. Decisions about what continues are made with you after evaluation.

FAQ
How far is Twelve Oaks Psychiatry from Davie?
Very close. The office at 10400 Griffin Rd, Suite 201 sits in neighboring Cooper City, generally under 10 minutes from most of Davie along Griffin Road, also marked State Road 818. Exact timing depends on your starting point and school-zone traffic.
What happens at the first appointment?
The first visit is an unhurried conversation about your history, symptoms, and goals. Bring your current medication list, and if you are transferring care, any records you have. Michael reviews everything with you and explains possible next steps before anything is decided.
My prescriber left my insurance network. Can Twelve Oaks take over my medication?
Often, yes. Bring your records and current medication list to the first visit. Michael evaluates you fully, treats your existing regimen as the starting point, and never promises a specific medication in advance; continuing anything follows evaluation, records review, and Florida prescribing rules.
Can medication follow-ups happen by telehealth?
Yes. After care is established, follow-ups and refill visits work well by secure video from anywhere in Florida. Many people alternate, coming to Cooper City occasionally and handling routine check-ins from home, and moving between formats is simple.
My medication runs out soon and I am new to Davie. How fast can I be seen?
Often the same day. Appointments can be booked up to two hours before a visit, Monday through Friday, 10am to 6pm. Arriving with your medication bottles, pharmacy information, and former prescriber’s contact details helps the evaluation and records request move quickly.
Can a teenager’s medication be managed here?
Yes. Adolescents are treated with a parent or guardian involved throughout, whether starting medication for the first time or transferring existing care. Michael explains each option by class, monitors response closely, and coordinates with pediatricians, therapists, and school supports when helpful.
What if I would rather not take medication at all?
That choice stays yours. An evaluation can end with watchful waiting, lifestyle recommendations, or a referral to a therapist rather than a prescription. Michael does not provide counseling himself, but he refers readily and coordinates so the overall plan still fits together.
Do you accept insurance for medication management?
Yes. Twelve Oaks Psychiatry accepts most major insurance plans, including Blue Cross Blue Shield, Aetna, Cigna, UnitedHealthcare, AvMed, and 200+ additional plans. Coverage varies by plan, so please confirm your benefits and in-network status with your insurer before your first visit.
Are same-day appointments available?
Often, yes. Same-day appointments are frequently open Monday through Friday, 10am to 6pm, for office and telehealth visits, and can be booked up to two hours before the visit. Calling (954) 947-1130 earlier in the day helps.
What should I do in a mental health crisis?
If you feel you might harm yourself or someone else, or you are in immediate danger, call 9-1-1 right away. For crisis support, you can reach the Suicide and Crisis Lifeline by calling or texting 988. In many Florida communities, 2-1-1 connects you to crisis information and local referrals.
