Diagnostic interview for mood, anxiety, ADHD, and psychosis
Insurance verification happens before the visit so the evaluation itself is clinical time.
Clinical scope of Psychiatric Evaluations in Broward County
Initial consults at this clinic are scheduled as 60–90 minutes because a 20-minute slot cannot hold a reliable differential.
Comprehensive assessment includes past treatments, doses, durations, and why they stopped — the data that actually changes the next trial.

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.
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.
Fifteen-minute visits never reached sleep, thyroid, or a manic-screen, so the diagnosis keeps sliding.
Indications and differentials
Antidepressant trials that failed, caused mixed features, or were never given an adequate dose/duration.
New or unexplained mood, anxiety, attentional, or psychotic symptoms lasting beyond a brief adjustment reaction.
Prior diagnoses that conflict with each other or with the current mental status exam.
Perimenopausal, postpartum, PMDD, or androgen-related mood change that has not been medically reviewed.

{access}. That access pattern is why Psychiatric Evaluations for Hollywood is written as a service-area page, not as a fake storefront.
If telehealth was used, we record why an in-office visit was or was not required.
Labs are ordered when they could change management, not to decorate the chart.
Questions we hear about Psychiatric Evaluations
Do you accept insurance?
Most major plans are accepted; verify benefits before the visit. Coverage is not a clinical promise.
Do hormones cause psychiatric symptoms?
They can contribute. They rarely explain an entire syndrome by themselves. We test when the history points there.
Do you replace my therapist?
No. Psychiatric evaluation and psychotherapy are complementary.
What if I am in crisis?
Call 988 or go to an emergency department. This clinic is not an after-hours crisis line.
Is the visit confidential?
HIPAA applies, with the usual safety exceptions (imminent harm, mandated reports).
Do you see children?
The practice is primarily adults and older adolescents, considered case-by-case.
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.
Visit flow for Psychiatric Evaluations
If telehealth was used, we record why an in-office visit was or was not required.
Opening 10 minutes: chief concern, safety, and what you want the evaluation to decide.
Formulation is shared in plain language: what is likely, what is possible, what we are watching.
Medical review flags thyroid, anemia, cardiac QT risk, pregnancy, and neurologic symptoms that redirect the workup.
Schedule with Dr. Dorothy Chatelier, DNP, FNP-BC, PMHNP-BC
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.
Questions about insurance, labs, or whether Psychiatric Evaluations can be done by video: call (888) 307-2199 before you book so the visit type matches the clinical need.

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.
