Telehealth Psychiatry in Davie, FL
Twelve Oaks Psychiatry provides telehealth psychiatry for adults and adolescents: full psychiatric evaluation, psychiatric medication management, and follow-ups by secure video from home in Davie, often the same day. Nearly 95 percent of Davie households hold a broadband internet subscription, so the connection is rarely the obstacle. The Cooper City office next door handles in-person visits. Michael Hernandez, APRN, PMHNP-BC, a board-certified psychiatric nurse practitioner, leads every visit.
Video Psychiatric Care in Davie
Over video, the evaluation keeps its full shape: mood, attention, worry, sleep, health history, and the demands of school or work, discussed without hurry from whatever private spot at home works for you.
The honest boundaries: you must be physically in Florida for each visit, Michael will say when an office visit serves you better, and prescriptions follow evaluation and Florida and federal requirements.

FAQ
Do I ever need to come to the office, and how far is it from Davie?
Most care can run entirely by video. When an office visit is preferred or recommended, Twelve Oaks sits at 10400 Griffin Rd, Suite 201 in neighboring Cooper City, generally under 10 minutes from most of Davie via Griffin Road.
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 Davie. Is this that?
Close, with one honest distinction. This is online psychiatric care led by Michael, a board-certified psychiatric nurse practitioner rather than a physician. He handles every video evaluation personally, manages medication when appropriate, and stays your clinician across every follow-up.
Can prescriptions be written from a video appointment?
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.
Can college students use telehealth between campus and home?
Yes, as long as they are physically in Florida at visit time. Students around Davie often book video visits between classes or from an apartment, and adults of every age are welcome. Coverage under a parent’s insurance plan is worth confirming first.
Does video work for teen psychiatric care?
Yes. Teens are seen by video with a parent or guardian involved in each appointment, just as in the office. After-school video slots are popular with Davie families, and Michael keeps parents informed while giving teens room to speak.
What if Michael thinks video is not enough for my situation?
He tells you directly. Certain situations call for an in-person evaluation, and when that is the case, the Cooper City office is the next step rather than a referral elsewhere. Your care continues with the same clinician either way.
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.
