Book your evaluationWhy patients in Southfield use telehealth for this
Southfield is full of licensed professionals — nurses, teachers, accountants, attorneys, social workers, agents — and the question they bring to a certification visit usually isn't about their employer. It's about their licence. Professional boards set their own conduct standards, and those sit apart from both state cannabis law and any workplace drug policy. A physician can tell you whether you meet Michigan's clinical criteria. They cannot tell you what your board will make of it, and that is worth finding out before you register rather than afterwards.
There's a second thing worth saying plainly. People don't arrive at a conversation about pain on equal footing — Black patients in particular have long been more likely to have symptoms discounted or under-treated, and anyone who has had that experience tends to walk into a new physician's appointment braced to argue for themselves. You shouldn't have to. This evaluation works by you describing your history and the physician taking that account seriously. They may still conclude that certification isn't right for you. If so, they'll give you the reason, and the reason will be a clinical one.

Who actually issues the card
We don't. The Michigan Cannabis Regulatory Agency (CRA) does. Michigan's medical marijuana program is administered by the Cannabis Regulatory Agency, which took over the functions previously handled under LARA. The state — not this clinic — issues the registry card and sets its own processing times. If the physician certifies you, we file the certification on your behalf — but we can't promise a date, and nobody who tells you otherwise can either.
Questions from Southfield patients
I hold a Michigan professional licence. Does registering affect it?
We won't guess at that, and you shouldn't accept a guess. Licensing boards set conduct standards independently of the state cannabis program and of your employer. Check with your board or a licence-defence attorney before you register. The physician's role here is limited to the clinical question.
I commute into Southfield for work but live elsewhere. Which address matters?
Your Michigan residence, not your workplace. The registry requires proof of Michigan residency in whatever form the state currently specifies. Where you work has no bearing on eligibility either way.
Will the physician take my word about my symptoms?
Your account of your own history is the primary evidence in this evaluation — there is no imaging and no lab work involved. They'll ask follow-up questions because that is how a history is taken, not because they doubt you. If they decide you don't meet Michigan's criteria, they'll tell you why.
I'm in the office from eight to six. When can I actually book this?
Evening windows are available and shown live when you book. The visit runs about fifteen minutes. Have your medication list and your Michigan residency documentation to hand before you start.

This page is general health information, not medical advice, and reading it does not create a physician–patient relationship. Certification under the Michigan Medical Marihuana Act (MCL 333.26421 et seq.) requires a qualifying condition, determined by a licensed physician exercising independent clinical judgement. No one can promise you will qualify, and your fee pays for the physician's time and judgement rather than for any particular outcome. Michigan's program rules change; confirm current requirements with the Michigan Cannabis Regulatory Agency (CRA). Cannabis remains a Schedule I controlled substance under federal law, and a state registry card does not change federal law, override an employer's policy, or affect federally regulated testing requirements. In a medical emergency call 911. For mental health crisis support, call or text 988.
