Questions we hear about Medication Management
Do you treat insomnia with medication only?
No. We look for apnea, circadian issues, alcohol, and psychiatric drivers.
What about pregnancy?
Tell us before a prescription is sent. Some agents need specialist coordination.
Do you prescribe stimulants?
When the evaluation supports ADHD and PDMP/safety checks pass. Not from a questionnaire alone.
Are leftover 'affordable refill' URLs a discount?
No. They are retained slugs. Billing follows insurance contracts.
Can you help me taper?
Yes. Tapers are scheduled by drug class. Do not stop MAOIs, benzos, or paroxetine abruptly on your own.
Will I get a refill without a visit?
Not as a routine. Monitoring interval is part of the prescription.
How close is your office to Dania Beach?
Extremely close — our Hollywood office is approximately 5-10 minutes from Dania Beach. We're one of the nearest psychiatric practices for Dania Beach residents.
Is the practice large or small?
We're a focused private practice where you work directly with Dr. Chatelier, DNP — not a large clinic. This ensures continuity of care and a strong therapeutic relationship.
DSM-5-TR framing for Medication Management
Bridge care after hospitalization until a stable outpatient cadence exists.
Perinatal prescribing only with risk-benefit counseling.
Antidepressants only after bipolar-spectrum screening.
Hypnotics only after sleep differential, not as a standing nightcap.
What changes if Medication Management is done thoroughly
Translation of insurance formularies into clinical options, not the other way around.
Taper schedules with expected withdrawal vs relapse distinctions.
Prior-authorization support that still tells the truth about medical necessity.
Stimulant holidays or dose-timing changes when appetite and sleep demand it.
Metabolic monitoring for antipsychotics (weight, A1c, lipids).
Parking, hours, and video visits
Parking at 7603 Davie Road Extension is on site. Dania Beach patients who drive 10 minutes should plan for weekday 9:00–17:00 hours; Saturday is by appointment only.
Dania Beach sits in Broward County. County-level resources (crisis lines, hospital ERs, IOP programs) are discussed during Medication Management when a higher level of care is safer than outpatient titration.
If side effects appear, do not wait for the next quarterly slot — tighten follow-up.
Confirm the target symptom and the diagnosis it belongs to.
Next step
After Medication Management is scheduled, complete intake forms once. Repeating the same history at every visit is what we are trying to avoid.
Crisis now is 988 or the ER — not the booking form. For non-urgent Medication Management, use (888) 307-2199 during weekday hours.
