GLP-1 questions inside a psychiatric chart
Self-esteem pages in old keywords will still get a medical exam.
Clinical scope of Wellness & Weight Management in Broward County
Top-rated language ignored.
IV weight support is not an indication we treat with drips.
In-office versus Florida telehealth
Davie sits in Broward County. County-level resources (crisis lines, hospital ERs, IOP programs) are discussed during Wellness & Weight Management when a higher level of care is safer than outpatient titration.
Commute noise on I-95 and the Turnpike changes whether an in-office Wellness & Weight Management visit is realistic this week. Telehealth is used when the clinical exam does not require the office.

Clinical FAQ
Do you offer IV weight loss?
No.
Sleep?
Apnea and insomnia are part of weight care.
Can I refuse weight as a goal?
Yes. We can treat binge-eating and mood without a scale goal.
Crisis / medical instability?
ER. Especially with restriction and electrolyte risk.
Will you weigh me every visit?
Only if it is clinically useful and not harmful to your eating-disorder recovery.
Who is the clinician?
Dr. Dorothy Chatelier, DNP, FNP-BC, PMHNP-BC.
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
After Wellness & Weight Management is scheduled, complete intake forms once. Repeating the same history at every visit is what we are trying to avoid.
Start with one thorough Wellness & Weight Management evaluation rather than a series of 15-minute check-ins. Book at (888) 307-2199 or online.

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.
