Telehealth Psychiatrist in Broward County, FL

Video visits anywhere in Florida

Broward County is home base for One Stop Psychiatry. Our only office is on North Ocean Boulevard in Fort Lauderdale, a short drive for most of the county. You can see us in the office, or by secure video from home, work or anywhere else in Florida.

Many patients mix the two: an in-person first visit, then video follow-ups that fit around a commute on I-95 or the Turnpike. Either way, you see the same providers and get the same treatment plan.

Request a telehealth visit or call (754) 270-6322, Monday to Saturday, 9 AM to 5 PM.
