Hallandale Beach FAQs for Women's Hormone Therapy
Can I refuse HRT?
Yes.

No. Dr. Dorothy Chatelier, DNP, FNP-BC, PMHNP-BC is a PMHNP-BC providing hormone-informed psychiatric care.
Is this anti-aging?
No.
Will you check thyroid?
Yes when the history fits. Fatigue and mood are not 'just estrogen' by default.
