More about Richard
What we do

Six kinds of care, one familiar face.

Most people arrive for one thing and discover we can help with three. Everything below is handled in-house, by a provider who already knows your full history — in the office, at your home, or by telehealth.

Treatment for low testosterone, erectile dysfunction and low libido — starting with real lab work, not a questionnaire, and reviewed against everything else you're taking.

House calls

We still make home visits.

Every service we offer can happen at your kitchen table instead of ours — psychiatry, therapy, family medicine, weight loss, hormone therapy and Botox — across Cutler Bay, Palmetto Bay and the surrounding Miami-Dade area. Very few practices in South Florida still do this.

How house calls work
Why patients stay

Care that actually looks you in the eye.

The calm waiting area at Face to Face Psychiatry in Cutler Bay, Florida Weekday & evening appointments

The name is not decoration. Too much of mental health care has become a seven-minute video call with whoever is next in the queue. Here you see the same provider every visit, for as long as the visit needs to take.

Book your first visit
  1. 1

    One provider for mind and body

    Your antidepressant, your blood pressure and your A1c are not separate conversations. Being dual board certified means we can see all of it at once — and catch the interactions a split-up care team misses.

  2. 2

    Appointments that start on time

    The schedule is kept deliberately small, and appointments run most weekdays as well as evenings — so getting seen doesn't mean taking a day off work.

  3. 3

    In-person in Cutler Bay, or telehealth anywhere in Florida

    Come to the office when it helps to be in the room. Take the appointment from home when it doesn't. Both are the same provider and the same standard of care.

  4. 4

    Plain language, and a plan you agreed to

    You'll leave knowing what you're taking, why, what it should feel like in two weeks, and what to do if it doesn't.

Conditions we treat

If it affects how you feel, it belongs in the room.

We are licensed to evaluate and prescribe for every mental health condition, and to manage the primary care conditions that so often travel with them.

Don't see yours? It almost certainly still fits. Send us a message and we'll tell you honestly whether we're the right practice for it.

Rooted in Cutler Bay. Open to all of Florida.

Patients come to us from Cutler Bay, Palmetto Bay, Homestead, Kendall, Pinecrest and Richmond Heights — and from anywhere in the state by telehealth. Wherever you start from, the first step is the same short conversation.

We are all broken in some way — me included. Let me help you. I do not turn away patients, and I will help in a morally and ethically correct way.
