How Cooper City patients actually get here
Cooper City sits in Broward County. County-level resources (crisis lines, hospital ERs, IOP programs) are discussed during Massage Therapy when a higher level of care is safer than outpatient titration.
Parking at 7603 Davie Road Extension is on site. Cooper City patients who drive 14 minutes should plan for weekday 9:00–17:00 hours; Saturday is by appointment only.
Aftercare: hydration, dizziness precautions.
Refer to Dr. Dorothy Chatelier, DNP, FNP-BC, PMHNP-BC if the real need is a psychiatric evaluation.
