Our Services in Fort Lauderdale

Medical Marijuana Evaluations

DocMJ provides medical marijuana evaluations for Fort Lauderdale patients who may qualify under Florida law. During the visit, a certified physician reviews your condition, symptoms, medical history, and eligibility. If you qualify, the physician enters your recommendation into the Florida Medical Marijuana Use Registry so you can continue the state application process.

Florida Medical Marijuana Card Certification

DocMJ helps qualified patients understand the steps required to apply for a Florida medical marijuana card after physician approval. The certification process includes the doctor evaluation, registry entry, state application, and card processing through Florida’s medical marijuana program. Patients receive clear instructions so they know what happens after the visit.

Renewal Visits

Florida medical marijuana recommendations must be renewed to keep treatment access active. DocMJ supports returning Fort Lauderdale patients with renewal appointments that review current symptoms, treatment response, and ongoing eligibility. Eligible renewal patients may be able to complete follow-up care through secure telemedicine where Florida law allows.

Telemedicine Follow-Up Appointments

DocMJ offers secure telemedicine follow-up appointments for eligible returning patients where permitted by law. This option helps patients continue care without making an unnecessary office visit. Telemedicine visits still follow DocMJ’s medical standards, with physician oversight, patient privacy, and compliance built into the appointment process.

Online Mental Health Counseling

DocMJ also provides online mental health counseling for patients seeking support with anxiety, depression, PTSD, stress, or related emotional concerns. Counseling is separate from medical marijuana certification, but it gives patients access to additional professional support through a private online setting.

Why Choose Us

Fort Lauderdale patients choose DocMJ because the process is physician-led, medically focused, and built for people who want clear answers before moving forward. Since 2016, DocMJ has helped patients understand whether they may qualify, what documentation may be useful, and how Florida’s medical marijuana process works after a physician evaluation.

Our team focuses on responsible care, plain-language guidance, and patient support before, during, and after the appointment. That matters for patients who may be concerned about cost, medical records, appointment availability, employer questions, or how soon they can access treatment after approval.

Local FAQs

“How do I get a medical marijuana card in Fort Lauderdale?”

You start by scheduling an evaluation with a certified medical marijuana physician. The doctor reviews your qualifying condition, symptoms, and medical history. If you qualify, your physician enters your recommendation into the Florida Medical Marijuana Use Registry so you can continue the state application process.

“Where is DocMJ located in Fort Lauderdale?”

DocMJ Fort Lauderdale is located at 1919 NE 45th St, Suite 117, Fort Lauderdale, FL 33308. The local phone number is (754) 290-5858. Appointment hours are Monday through Friday, 9am to 5pm.

“Do I need medical records for my Fort Lauderdale appointment?”

Medical records can help support your evaluation, especially if they document a qualifying condition. Patients should bring any available records that relate to their symptoms, diagnosis, or treatment history. The physician uses the evaluation to determine whether medical marijuana is appropriate under Florida law.

“Can I buy medical marijuana the same day I am approved?”

Some qualified patients may be able to shop the same day their recommendation is entered into the registry. Timing depends on physician approval, registry processing, and completion of the required state steps. Purchases must be made through licensed Florida Medical Marijuana Treatment Centers.

“Does DocMJ offer telemedicine in Fort Lauderdale?”

DocMJ offers secure telemedicine follow-up appointments for eligible returning patients where permitted by Florida law. New patients should expect an in-person evaluation with a qualified physician. Renewal patients can ask whether telemedicine is available for their specific appointment.

“What conditions may qualify for medical marijuana in Florida?”

Florida qualifying conditions include PTSD, cancer, epilepsy, glaucoma, HIV/AIDS, Crohn’s disease, Parkinson’s disease, multiple sclerosis, ALS, chronic muscle spasms, and chronic nonmalignant pain connected to a qualifying condition. Florida also allows physicians to evaluate certain comparable conditions. The physician determines eligibility based on the patient’s medical situation.

“What happens if I do not qualify?”

DocMJ offers a money-back guarantee if a patient does not qualify. This helps reduce the financial concern many patients have before scheduling. The physician still must follow Florida law and determine whether the patient meets the requirements for a medical marijuana recommendation.
