Telehealth Psychiatry in Dania Beach, FL
Twelve Oaks Psychiatry provides telehealth psychiatry for adults and adolescents: psychiatric evaluation, psychiatric medication management, and follow-ups by secure video from home in Dania Beach, often the same day. Nearly nine in ten Dania Beach households have a broadband internet subscription, and the connection a visit needs is already there. The Cooper City office covers in-person visits. Michael Hernandez, APRN, PMHNP-BC, a board-certified psychiatric nurse practitioner, leads every visit.
Video Psychiatric Care in Dania Beach
A video evaluation covers the same ground as an office visit: mood, attention, anxiety, sleep, health history, and what daily life has been asking of you, in one unhurried conversation held from a private space at home.
The limits are stated plainly: be physically in Florida for each visit, expect an office visit when Michael recommends one, and prescriptions follow evaluation and Florida and federal requirements.
Why Choose Twelve Oaks Psychiatry
The clinician on your screen is the same person who can greet you at the office door. Michael, a board-certified psychiatric nurse practitioner, holds every video visit himself, and your care lives with him, not an app.
Dania Beach residents often run evaluations and follow-ups entirely by video around irregular work schedules, keeping the Cooper City office for the days an in-person visit appeals.

FAQ
Do I ever need to come to the office, and how far is it from Dania Beach?
Most care can happen entirely by video. When you would rather be seen in person, or Michael recommends it, the office at 10400 Griffin Rd, Suite 201, Cooper City is about 9 miles west, usually 15 to 20 minutes by car.
What do I need for a video visit?
A phone, tablet, or computer with a camera, a private space to talk, and being physically in Florida at the time of the visit. A secure link is sent before the appointment, and for teen visits a parent or guardian joins as well.
I searched for an online psychiatrist in Dania Beach. Is this that?
Close, with one honest distinction. Twelve Oaks Psychiatry provides online psychiatric care, and the clinician is Michael, a board-certified psychiatric nurse practitioner, not a physician. He personally completes every video evaluation, manages medication when appropriate, and follows your care visit after visit.
Can medication be prescribed through a video visit?
Many psychiatric medications can be prescribed and managed through video visits, with prescriptions sent electronically to a Florida pharmacy. Prescribing decisions follow a full evaluation and Florida and federal prescribing requirements, some medications carry additional rules for video visits, and no medication is guaranteed in advance.
Does telehealth work for teenagers?
Yes. Adolescents complete video visits with a parent or guardian involved, present or available during each appointment. Michael paces the conversation for the teen’s age, keeps parents informed about the plan, and coordinates with therapists or pediatricians when that helps.
What happens if video is not the right fit for me?
Michael says so, plainly and early. Some situations are simply served better in person, and when that is true he recommends an office visit in Cooper City instead. Nothing about your care resets; the same clinician continues it in the room.
Is a video visit private?
Video visits are held over HIPAA-compliant video, and you choose the private space you join from. Michael meets with you alone, what you discuss stays part of your confidential record, and headphones can add another layer of privacy in a busy household.
Does insurance cover telehealth visits?
Yes. Twelve Oaks Psychiatry accepts most major insurance plans, including Blue Cross Blue Shield, Aetna, Cigna, UnitedHealthcare, AvMed, and 200+ additional plans. Telehealth coverage varies by plan, so please confirm your benefits and in-network status with your insurer before your first video visit.
Are same-day video appointments available?
Often, yes. Same-day appointments are frequently open Monday through Friday, 10am to 6pm, for video and office visits alike, 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.
