Coconut Creek FAQs for Women's Hormone Therapy
How close is the office?
About 32 minutes from Coconut Creek.
What is PMDD?
A DSM-5-TR diagnosis with symptoms in the luteal phase that remit after menses. Timing matters.
Do you prescribe HRT?
When indicated after history, labs, and risk counseling, and often in coordination with GYN. This is not a pellet mill.
Are you a gynecologist?
No. Dr. Dorothy Chatelier, DNP, FNP-BC, PMHNP-BC is a PMHNP-BC providing hormone-informed psychiatric care.
Is bioidentical safer?
Bioidentical describes structure. Risk depends on dose, route, and your history — not the marketing word.
Do you do pellets?
We do not run a pellet-first model. If a GYN uses them, we still require a psychiatric formulation.
Do you evaluate menopause-related mood changes?
Yes. Many Coconut Creek patients come to us specifically for the intersection of hormonal changes and mood disorders. We offer comprehensive hormone panels alongside psychiatric evaluation.
How do I get to your office from Coconut Creek?
Our Hollywood office is about 25-30 minutes via 441 or the Turnpike. First evaluations are in-person; many follow-up med checks can be done via telehealth.
