Telehealth Psychiatry in Miramar, 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 Miramar, often the same day. About 92 percent of Miramar households have a broadband internet subscription, so the setup a visit needs is usually already at home. The Cooper City office stays open for in-person care. Michael Hernandez, APRN, PMHNP-BC, a board-certified psychiatric nurse practitioner, leads every visit.
Video Psychiatric Care in Miramar
The video evaluation gives up nothing in depth: mood, attention, worry, sleep, health background, and how work and family life have been running, covered in one unhurried conversation from a private spot at home.
Plain truths first: every visit requires being physically in Florida, some situations are better served at the office and Michael says so, and prescriptions follow evaluation plus Florida and federal requirements.
Why Choose Twelve Oaks Psychiatry
Continuity is the whole point here. Michael, a board-certified psychiatric nurse practitioner, is the one constant across every video and office visit, so your care never restarts because a platform changed or a company moved on.
After Miramar’s long commute days, many residents keep evaluations and follow-ups on video entirely, with the Cooper City office minutes up the road when wanted.

FAQ
Do I ever need to come to the office, and how far is it from Miramar?
Most care can stay entirely on video. When you want an in-person visit, or Michael recommends one, the office at 10400 Griffin Rd, Suite 201, Cooper City is about 7 miles north, roughly 12 to 20 minutes by Palm Avenue, Flamingo Road, or I-75.
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 Miramar. Is this that?
Close, with one honest distinction. Twelve Oaks Psychiatry is a psychiatric practice that can work fully by video, led by Michael, a board-certified psychiatric nurse practitioner, not a physician. He personally runs every evaluation, medication decision, and follow-up, on screen or in the room.
Can prescriptions come from 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.
Can video visits fit around a long commute and work day?
Yes, that is exactly what they are for. Evaluations and follow-ups can happen from home before or after work, with same-day openings often available Monday through Friday, 10am to 6pm, as long as you are physically in Florida.
Is telehealth an option for my teenager?
Yes. Teens are seen by video with a parent or guardian involved in every appointment, and after-school slots keep visits from fighting the school calendar. Michael keeps parents in the loop while giving the teen room to speak for themselves.
Can I switch between video and office visits?
Freely. Some people start on video and add office visits later, others do the reverse, and either way it is the same clinician, the same record, and the same plan. Switching takes a phone call, nothing more.
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.
