Remote medication management when you are in Florida
Best-practice telehealth looks boring: same note, same pharmacy send, same follow-up.
Telehealth Psychiatry for Cooper City patients
Remote medication management still uses PDMP and labs.
Virtual appointments still require a mental status exam — camera on when risk or diagnosis requires it.
Cooper City FAQs for Telehealth Psychiatry
Can you order labs?
Yes, to draw sites near 33328.
Is this the same as therapy?
No. This is medical psychiatric care. Therapy referrals remain separate.
Can I do the first visit by video?
Often yes if privacy and risk allow. We may require Hollywood for complex or high-risk cases.
What if Zoom fails?
We call you. If safety is in question, we use emergency pathways.
Do you prescribe Adderall by video?
Only if the evaluation and PDMP support it, and policy allows. Not as a first-click product.
Who is on camera?
Dr. Dorothy Chatelier, DNP, FNP-BC, PMHNP-BC — not an anonymous coach.
Is Cooper City close to your office?
Very close — our Hollywood office at 7603 Davie Road Extension is about 10 minutes from Cooper City via Stirling Road or Griffin Road.
Do you work with families?
Yes. We provide psychiatric evaluations and medication management for adults, and can coordinate care with family therapists for a comprehensive approach.
14-minute path to the Hollywood office
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.

Commute noise on I-95 and the Turnpike changes whether an in-office Telehealth Psychiatry visit is realistic this week. Telehealth is used when the clinical exam does not require the office.
Record the platform used and time in / time out.
Do not start high-risk controlled substances on a first video visit without a supporting protocol.
Book Telehealth Psychiatry

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.
