GeneSight-informed trials after failed antidepressants
Refills are tied to clinical follow-up. Portal messages do not restart stimulants or benzodiazepines.
What Medication Management actually includes
Telehealth medication management still requires Florida presence, identity check, and a visit note.
Sleep medication management asks whether the drug is treating insomnia or hiding apnea and alcohol.
What we rule in — and rule out
Perinatal prescribing only with risk-benefit counseling.
Not indicated to supply controlled substances without a supporting diagnosis and monitoring plan.
Hypnotics only after sleep differential, not as a standing nightcap.
Not indicated as a replacement for inpatient care when risk is high.
How Medication Management is structured
Reconcile the current list, including OTC, cannabis, and hormones.
Set the next visit before the bottle runs out.
Confirm the target symptom and the diagnosis it belongs to.
Decide: continue, adjust, switch, or taper — one primary change when possible.
Parking, hours, and video visits
Neighborhoods we hear from most in Dania Beach include Downtown Dania, the marina district, and US-1. ZIP codes 33004 map to this service-area page.
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.
Counsel on onset, alcohol, driving, pregnancy, and overdose risk.
Set the next visit before the bottle runs out.
Dania Beach FAQs for Medication Management
Do you prescribe benzodiazepines long-term?
Rarely, with a documented indication and a taper orientation. They are not a standing plan for GAD.
How often are visits?
Tighter after a start or change; wider when stable and labs are current.
Where is the office for in-person med checks?
7603 Davie Road Extension, Hollywood, FL 33024 — about 10 minutes from Dania Beach.
Do you prescribe stimulants?
When the evaluation supports ADHD and PDMP/safety checks pass. Not from a questionnaire alone.
Can I refuse a medication?
Always. Informed consent includes the option of no medication.
What is GeneSight?
A pharmacogenetic panel that may adjust probabilities for certain antidepressants. It does not diagnose ADHD or depression.
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.
Labs, scales, and follow-up cadence
QTc risk: ECG when combining high-risk agents.
Opioid + benzo overlap is treated as a safety event.
Informed consent stored in the chart.

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.
