Questions we hear about Men's Testosterone Therapy
Do I need to stop the gym?
No. We need you to stop unsupervised anabolics.
Depression low T pages?
We evaluate both. We do not pick a favorite syndrome for SEO.
Crisis?
988 or ER.
Heart risk?
We discuss it. We do not advertise TRT as cardio candy.
What about clots and hematocrit?
We monitor hematocrit. High counts need action, not another dose.
Do you start TRT on visit one?
Almost never. We need history and confirmatory morning labs.
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.

How Davie patients actually get here
Commute noise on I-95 and the Turnpike changes whether an in-office Men's Testosterone Therapy visit is realistic this week. Telehealth is used when the clinical exam does not require the office.
South Florida heat, hurricane disruption, shift work, and multigenerational households show up in Davie presentations. Men's Testosterone Therapy intake asks about those stressors explicitly.
Refuse to continue a mill protocol that is unsafe.
Treat depression in parallel when indicated.
Indications and differentials
Normal T with depression — treat the depression.
Second opinion after a mill start.
Patients who want monitoring, not a Forever Protocol.
Erythrocytosis on TRT.
Next step
After Men's Testosterone Therapy is scheduled, complete intake forms once. Repeating the same history at every visit is what we are trying to avoid.
If Men's Testosterone Therapy is the right next step, schedule a 60–90 minute intake with Dr. Dorothy Chatelier, DNP, FNP-BC, PMHNP-BC. Same-week telehealth follow-ups are used after the diagnostic visit when clinically appropriate.

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.
