Adult psychiatric evaluation for Hollywood patients
Patients driving from Hollywood (0 min) can complete the first evaluation in Hollywood or, when clinically appropriate, by Florida telehealth.
Psychiatric Evaluations for Hollywood patients
Screening appointments can triage; they do not replace a full evaluation when bipolar, psychosis, or perinatal risk is on the table.
Perinatal mood evaluation includes pregnancy, postpartum, lactation, and medication teratogenicity counseling — not a generic depression template.
Access from Hollywood
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.
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.
South Florida heat, hurricane disruption, shift work, and multigenerational households show up in Hollywood presentations. Psychiatric Evaluations intake asks about those stressors explicitly.
Stimulants were started before a bipolar-spectrum history was taken. That sequence is unsafe; the evaluation has to undo it carefully.
Clinical FAQ
Do you see children?
The practice is primarily adults and older adolescents, considered case-by-case.
What if I am in crisis?
Call 988 or go to an emergency department. This clinic is not an after-hours crisis line.
How soon is follow-up?
Often 2–4 weeks after a new medication or a complex formulation; longer when stable.
Will you prescribe on visit one?
Only when the diagnosis, safety, and monitoring plan support it. Controlled substances have a higher bar.
Where is the office?
7603 Davie Road Extension, Hollywood, FL 33024 — about 0 minutes from Hollywood.
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.
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.
Protocol elements we do not skip
Pregnancy status and contraception when prescribing agents with teratogenic or lactation issues.
If GeneSight is used, results are filed with the limitation statement in the note.
Safety screen every visit: SI/HI, psychosis, inability to care for self, and intoxication.
Patients can request a copy of the formulation; mystery diagnoses are not a clinical style.
Indications and differentials
Prior diagnoses that conflict with each other or with the current mental status exam.
Family history of bipolar disorder or psychosis that changes how aggressively we screen.
Eating-pattern change with medical risk (restriction, purging, electrolyte clues).
Perimenopausal, postpartum, PMDD, or androgen-related mood change that has not been medically reviewed.
How Hollywood patients actually get here
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.
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.
After the visit you should be able to repeat the working diagnosis and the next three steps.
Safety: if risk is high, we stop the routine template and use crisis pathways.
Next step
After Psychiatric Evaluations is scheduled, complete intake forms once. Repeating the same history at every visit is what we are trying to avoid.
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.
