Next step
If Wellness & Weight Management 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.
After Wellness & Weight Management is scheduled, complete intake forms once. Repeating the same history at every visit is what we are trying to avoid.
