20-minute path to the Hollywood office
Commute noise on I-95 and the Turnpike changes whether an in-office Wellness & Weight Management visit is realistic this week. Telehealth is used when the clinical exam does not require the office.
Aventura sits in Miami-Dade County. County-level resources (crisis lines, hospital ERs, IOP programs) are discussed during Wellness & Weight Management when a higher level of care is safer than outpatient titration.
Parking at 7603 Davie Road Extension is on site. Aventura patients who drive 20 minutes should plan for weekday 9:00–17:00 hours; Saturday is by appointment only.
You commute 20 minutes and eat in the car; the plan assumed a leisurely kitchen.
Schedule with Dr. Dorothy Chatelier, DNP, FNP-BC, PMHNP-BC
Call (888) 307-2199 to hold an appointment for Wellness & Weight Management. Mention Aventura so staff can plan in-office versus Florida telehealth for the first visit.
After Wellness & Weight Management is scheduled, complete intake forms once. Repeating the same history at every visit is what we are trying to avoid.

Florida telehealth psychiatry is available to established and new patients located in Florida at the time of the visit, subject to licensure and clinical appropriateness. An in-person evaluation at the Hollywood office may be recommended when a physical exam, vital signs, or a more complete diagnostic interview is needed.
