Telehealth medication management for Florida patients
If the diagnosis is wrong, no titration schedule will look like recovery. We will re-evaluate rather than stack drugs.
What Medication Management actually includes
Mood-stabilizer adjustment uses levels, kidney/thyroid labs, and teratogenicity counseling when relevant.
ADHD titration follows a confirmed differential. Heart rate, sleep, appetite, and diversion risk are part of the visit.
In-office versus Florida telehealth
South Florida heat, hurricane disruption, shift work, and multigenerational households show up in Davie presentations. Medication Management intake asks about those stressors explicitly.
{access}. That access pattern is why Medication Management for Davie is written as a service-area page, not as a fake storefront.
Revisit the original diagnosis if two classes have failed.
Review PDMP and allergies.
12-minute path to the Hollywood office
ZIP 33314 is the lead postal code listed for Davie. Mail-order labs and pharmacy routing still use the patient's actual address, not this page's city token.
Davie (Broward County) has about 105,000 residents. The nearest Peace & Heart Wellness exam room is the Hollywood office, about 12 minutes from Nova Southeastern University and Broward College's Davie campus.
Davie 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.
Three benzodiazepines from three apps, no taper plan, and a PDMP that tells a story nobody reviewed.
Protocol elements we do not skip
Informed consent stored in the chart.
Stimulants: BP/HR, sleep, appetite, PDMP, diversion discussion.
MAOI diet and washout rules if that class is ever used.
SGAs: weight, A1c, lipids; AIMS on a schedule.
What we rule in — and rule out
ADHD medication only after the evaluation supports ADHD over mimics.
Polypharmacy review when the list exceeds what the diagnosis can justify.
Taper request that requires a medical schedule.
Bridge care after hospitalization until a stable outpatient cadence exists.
Clinical FAQ
Can you help me taper?
Yes. Tapers are scheduled by drug class. Do not stop MAOIs, benzos, or paroxetine abruptly on your own.
What about pregnancy?
Tell us before a prescription is sent. Some agents need specialist coordination.
What is PDMP?
Florida's prescription drug monitoring program. We check it before controlled substances.
How often are visits?
Tighter after a start or change; wider when stable and labs are current.
Do you prescribe benzodiazepines long-term?
Rarely, with a documented indication and a taper orientation. They are not a standing plan for GAD.
Can medication management be telehealth?
Yes if you are in Florida and the case is appropriate. Controlled-substance rules still apply.
How far are you from NSU?
Our Hollywood office is approximately 10 minutes from Nova Southeastern University's main campus, making us a convenient option for students seeking psychiatric care.
Do you treat college students from Davie?
Absolutely. We work with many college-age patients on ADHD management, anxiety, depression, and adjustment disorders common in academic settings.
Schedule with Dr. Dorothy Chatelier, DNP, FNP-BC, PMHNP-BC
Start with one thorough Medication Management evaluation rather than a series of 15-minute check-ins. Book at (888) 307-2199 or online.
After Medication Management is scheduled, complete intake forms once. Repeating the same history at every visit is what we are trying to avoid.

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.
