Clinical FAQ
Can I do the first visit by video?
Often yes if privacy and risk allow. We may require Hollywood for complex or high-risk cases.
Do I have to be in Florida?
Yes, at the time of the visit.
Will you see me in a parked car?
Only if it is private, stationary, and clinically appropriate. Driving is a no.
What if Zoom fails?
We call you. If safety is in question, we use emergency pathways.
Who is on camera?
Dr. Dorothy Chatelier, DNP, FNP-BC, PMHNP-BC — not an anonymous coach.
Is 'online psychiatrist' an MD?

Protocol elements we do not skip
Convert to office if video cannot complete risk assessment.
Backup phone number.
Do not use SMS for clinical decision-making.
Crisis script includes 988 and nearest ER to Hollywood.

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.
