Medication management from the Hollywood medical home
Missed monitoring labs pause titration. That is safety, not punishment.
What Medication Management actually includes
Top-rated language in old keywords is ignored. Monitoring quality is the product.
Best-practice med management is boring: lists, labs, and dates.
From intake to follow-up: Medication Management
Set the next visit before the bottle runs out.
Document why a requested stimulant or benzo was declined.
Revisit the original diagnosis if two classes have failed.
Send the prescription to a named pharmacy; document the pharmacy.
Protocol elements we do not skip
Opioid + benzo overlap is treated as a safety event.
Lithium: level, TSH, creatinine, pregnancy test as indicated.
Hyponatremia: BMP in older adults on SSRIs when symptoms fit.
Formulary alternatives offered without pretending they are identical.
Dania Beach FAQs for Medication Management
How often are visits?
Tighter after a start or change; wider when stable and labs are current.
What labs do I need?
Depends on the drug: TSH, lithium level, A1c, etc. We will list them in the plan.
What is PDMP?
Florida's prescription drug monitoring program. We check it before controlled substances.
Are leftover 'affordable refill' URLs a discount?
No. They are retained slugs. Billing follows insurance contracts.
Do you monitor antipsychotics?
Weight, A1c, lipids, and neurologic side effects are part of the protocol.
Can you prescribe if I am traveling?
Only if you are physically in a state where we are licensed — currently Florida telehealth.
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.
10-minute path to the Hollywood office
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.
Dania Beach (Broward County) has about 32,000 residents. The nearest Peace & Heart Wellness exam room is the Hollywood office, about 10 minutes from Dania Beach Pier and the antique district.

What we rule in — and rule out
Antidepressants only after bipolar-spectrum screening.

Taper request that requires a medical schedule.

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.
