Dr. Aaron Lichtman, M.D., headquartered at a Ocala office in Ocala, focuses on cannabis evaluations for qualifying patients. Patients typically renew their certification annually, returning to the clinic or another certified provider for the renewal visit. The practice may accommodate remote follow-up visits where state law allows. The practice welcomes both new evaluations and renewals from existing program patients. Products from licensed dispensaries include flower, oils, tinctures, edibles, topicals, and concentrates depending on the retailer. Florida Statute 381.986 provides the legal framework, and the Florida Office of Medical Marijuana Use handles patient enrollment. Once certified, patients register with the Florida Office of Medical Marijuana Use portal, pay the program fee, and receive a OMMU registry ID. During the visit, the clinician discusses prior diagnoses, examines the patient, and decides whether certification is medically appropriate. Conditions evaluated commonly include cancer, glaucoma, HIV/AIDS, PTSD, ALS, Crohn's, Parkinson's, MS, epilepsy, chronic non-malignant pain, and terminal conditions.
