Clinical FAQ
Sleep?
Apnea and insomnia are part of weight care.
Who is the clinician?
Dr. Dorothy Chatelier, DNP, FNP-BC, PMHNP-BC.
Do I need a dietitian?
Often yes. We refer.
Can I refuse weight as a goal?
Yes. We can treat binge-eating and mood without a scale goal.
Hormone weight loss?
Labs if indicated. Hormones are not a fat-melting SKU.
Affordable coaching URL?
Retained slug. This is not cheap coaching.
Do you serve downtown Fort Lauderdale?
Yes. Our Hollywood office is about 20 minutes from downtown Fort Lauderdale, and we offer telehealth appointments for busy downtown professionals.
Can you help with work-related anxiety and burnout?
Absolutely. We see many Fort Lauderdale professionals dealing with workplace stress, burnout, and performance anxiety. Our evaluations identify root causes and create targeted treatment plans.
Labs, scales, and follow-up cadence
No untested supplement stacks.
Informed consent for off-label metabolic uses.
Alcohol quantification.
Privacy around weighing.
Parking, hours, and video visits
ZIP 33301 is the lead postal code listed for Fort Lauderdale. Mail-order labs and pharmacy routing still use the patient's actual address, not this page's city token.
South Florida heat, hurricane disruption, shift work, and multigenerational households show up in Fort Lauderdale presentations. Wellness & Weight Management intake asks about those stressors explicitly.
Safety if BMI or vitals are unsafe.
Document GLP-1 risks if used.
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.
