Diagnostic interview for mood, anxiety, ADHD, and psychosis
We document sleep architecture, menstrual or androgen history, thyroid clues, and substance use because they change the differential.
Clinical scope of Psychiatric Evaluations in Broward County
Lab testing in psychiatry is hypothesis-driven: TSH, ferritin, B12, folate, vitamin D, CBC, CMP, and selected hormones. We do not shotgun every biomarker on earth.
Best-practice evaluation is the one that writes a differential and a monitoring plan. Star adjectives in old keywords are marketing residue, not a ranking.
Hollywood FAQs for Psychiatric Evaluations
Do you see children?
The practice is primarily adults and older adolescents, considered case-by-case.
Do you accept insurance?
Most major plans are accepted; verify benefits before the visit. Coverage is not a clinical promise.
Can I use this evaluation for a legal letter?
Only if the interview actually supports the opinion. We do not write unsupported letters.
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 do I prepare?
Medication list, prior psych notes, recent labs, and a timeline of symptoms. Sleep and menstrual data help.
What does 'affordable' in some URLs mean?
Leftover slugs. We do not market cheap care. We bill insurance when in-network and discuss costs before non-covered labs.
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.
Labs, scales, and follow-up cadence
Pregnancy status and contraception when prescribing agents with teratogenic or lactation issues.
Higher level of care is recommended when outpatient Psychiatric Evaluations cannot hold the risk.
We do not combine MAOIs with contraindicated agents. We do not ignore serotonin syndrome risk.
Missed appointments after a high-risk visit trigger outreach, not silent discharge.
Neighborhoods and ZIPs: 33019, 33020, 33021, 33022
ZIP 33019 is the lead postal code listed for Hollywood. 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.
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.
Prior genetic testing was ordered with no interpretation, so you carry a PDF and no plan.
How Psychiatric Evaluations is structured
Follow-up is scheduled before you leave so the evaluation is not a one-off performance.
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.
Psychiatric review of systems covers mood, anxiety, psychosis, OCD, trauma, ADHD, sleep, eating, and substance use even if you came for only one of those.
DSM-5-TR framing for anxiety evaluation doctor
Perimenopausal, postpartum, PMDD, or androgen-related mood change that has not been medically reviewed.
Antidepressant trials that failed, caused mixed features, or were never given an adequate dose/duration.
Adult ADHD concern with childhood onset clues or with strong mimic risk (sleep, trauma, mood).
anxiety evaluation doctor is treated as a presenting complaint that still has to survive a differential, not as a self-diagnosis we rubber-stamp.
Book Psychiatric Evaluations
Crisis now is 988 or the ER — not the booking form. For non-urgent Psychiatric Evaluations, use (888) 307-2199 during weekday hours.
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.
