Sleep medication management that does not skip apnea
Crisis plus a medication question is still a crisis: 988 or ER first.
Medication Management for Hollywood patients
Antipsychotic monitoring is metabolic and neurologic, not just 'mood better / worse.'
Mood-stabilizer adjustment uses levels, kidney/thyroid labs, and teratogenicity counseling when relevant.
Access from Hollywood
Parking at 7603 Davie Road Extension is on site. Hollywood patients who drive 0 minutes should plan for weekday 9:00–17:00 hours; Saturday is by appointment only.
Commute noise on I-95 and the Turnpike changes whether an in-office Medication Management visit is realistic this week. Telehealth is used when the clinical exam does not require the office.
Neighborhoods we hear from most in Hollywood include Hollywood Beach, Hollywood Hills, Emerald Hills, and the Davie Road Extension corridor. ZIP codes 33019, 33020, 33021, 33022 map to this service-area page.
A previous clinic used 'med check' as a 6-minute billing event.
Questions we hear about Medication Management
Do you work with my therapist?
With consent, yes. Medication does not replace psychotherapy when both are indicated.
What if side effects start this week?
Call the office. Do not wait for a distant follow-up if symptoms are severe. ER for emergency symptoms.
How often are visits?
Tighter after a start or change; wider when stable and labs are current.
Do you prescribe benzodiazepines long-term?
Rarely, with a documented indication and a taper orientation. They are not a standing plan for GAD.
Will you take over my current list?
After a diagnostic review. We do not rubber-stamp unsafe combinations.
Will I get a refill without a visit?
Not as a routine. Monitoring interval is part of the prescription.
Where is your Hollywood office?
Our office is located at 7603 Davie Road Extension, Hollywood, FL 33024. We're easily accessible from I-95, the Turnpike, and US-441.
Do you serve Hollywood Beach residents?
Yes! We serve all Hollywood neighborhoods including Hollywood Beach, Hollywood Hills, Emerald Hills, and surrounding areas.
DSM-5-TR framing for hormone mood meds
Failed or partial response to a current agent after an adequate trial.
Perinatal prescribing only with risk-benefit counseling.
Intolerable side effects that might respond to dose change, switch, or adjunct.
ADHD medication only after the evaluation supports ADHD over mimics.
From intake to follow-up: Medication Management
If side effects appear, do not wait for the next quarterly slot — tighten follow-up.
Telehealth visits verify Florida location.
Check labs due for the current class.
Share the plan with the therapist when consent exists.
Protocol elements we do not skip
New antidepressant: short-interval follow-up for activation and SI.
Informed consent stored in the chart.
Alcohol withdrawal is not managed as an anxiety refill.
Valproate: level, LFTs, CBC, pregnancy counseling.

Clinician: Dr. Dorothy Chatelier, DNP, FNP-BC, PMHNP-BC, Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner. Last medical review: 2026-09-21.
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.
