Supervising Physician
for Florida NPs

Written protocols and real physician availability for Florida nurse practitioners — especially in aesthetics, IV therapy, and weight loss, where supervision is still required.

Supervision for the practices
autonomy left behind

Florida opened an autonomous-practice pathway for qualifying primary care nurse practitioners — but it did not cover everyone. NPs practicing in aesthetics, IV hydration, medical weight loss, and most specialty areas still practice under a written protocol with a supervising physician. If that's your practice, the quality of your supervising physician relationship shapes everything from compliance to confidence.

Dr. William Starsiak, DO owns and runs an Indianapolis clinic spanning primary care, aesthetics, IV therapy, and medical weight loss — the exact fields where Florida NPs most often need supervision. He provides written protocols, chart review, quality documentation, and direct phone and text access, handled remotely where Florida rules permit.

Florida NP Supervision — FAQs

Do Florida NPs still need a supervising physician?

Most do. Florida's autonomous-practice registration covers only qualifying primary care NPs — aesthetics, IV therapy, weight loss, and most specialty NPs still require a written protocol with a supervising physician.

Can supervision be handled remotely?

Yes — protocols, chart review, and availability are handled remotely across Florida where the rules permit.

Why a physician who owns an aesthetics practice?

Because he knows the treatments you offer firsthand — Fotona lasers, injectables, body contouring, IV therapy — and reviews your charts with a working clinician's eye, not a stranger's.

Dr. Starsiak also collaborates in Texas; Ohio and Indiana are currently waitlisted.
