Hallandale Beach FAQs for Psychiatric Evaluations
Where is the office?
7603 Davie Road Extension, Hollywood, FL 33024 — about 12 minutes from Hallandale Beach.
What labs might you order?
Hypothesis-driven: TSH with free T4, ferritin, vitamin D, B12, folate, CBC, CMP, and selected hormones. Not every patient needs every test.
Will you prescribe on visit one?
Only when the diagnosis, safety, and monitoring plan support it. Controlled substances have a higher bar.
Do you diagnose on the first visit?
Usually we can state a working diagnosis and differential after the first complete interview. Some presentations need collateral, labs, or a second visit.
How do I prepare?
Medication list, prior psych notes, recent labs, and a timeline of symptoms. Sleep and menstrual data help.
Is this a psychiatrist (MD/DO)?
Care is provided by Dr. Dorothy Chatelier, DNP, FNP-BC, PMHNP-BC — a board-certified psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner. She diagnoses and prescribes within Florida APRN scope. She is not an MD psychiatrist.
How close is Hallandale Beach to your office?
Our Hollywood office is only about 10 minutes from Hallandale Beach via US-1 or I-95. We're very convenient for Hallandale residents.
Do you work with patients from diverse cultural backgrounds?
Yes. Our practice serves South Florida's diverse communities with culturally aware psychiatric care. Dr. Chatelier's multicultural background informs her compassionate, evidence-based approach.
How Psychiatric Evaluations is structured
Plan includes psychotherapy referral, medication or not, labs, and a follow-up date.
Before the visit: intake forms, medication list, prior labs. Incomplete forms shrink the diagnostic hour.
Mental status exam is documented: appearance, speech, affect, thought process, insight, cognition, and risk.
If telehealth was used, we record why an in-office visit was or was not required.
Parking, hours, and video visits
ZIP 33009 is the lead postal code listed for Hallandale Beach. Mail-order labs and pharmacy routing still use the patient's actual address, not this page's city token.
Commute noise on I-95 and the Turnpike changes whether an in-office Psychiatric Evaluations visit is realistic this week. Telehealth is used when the clinical exam does not require the office.
Mental status exam is documented: appearance, speech, affect, thought process, insight, cognition, and risk.
Records from other clinicians are requested with your authorization; we do not pretend collateral is optional when the history is fragmented.
DSM-5-TR framing for psychosis evaluation
A request for a second opinion before a major medication change or a disability form.
Not indicated solely to obtain a letter that the interview does not support.
New or unexplained mood, anxiety, attentional, or psychotic symptoms lasting beyond a brief adjustment reaction.
psychosis evaluation is treated as a presenting complaint that still has to survive a differential, not as a self-diagnosis we rubber-stamp.
Schedule with Dr. Dorothy Chatelier, DNP, FNP-BC, PMHNP-BC
Start with one thorough Psychiatric Evaluations evaluation rather than a series of 15-minute check-ins. Book at (888) 307-2199 or online.
If you already have records from another psychiatrist, NP, or therapist, send them before Psychiatric Evaluations so the interview can start from data instead of from a blank page.
