Titration and monitoring — not a refill mill
Refills are tied to clinical follow-up. Portal messages do not restart stimulants or benzodiazepines.
What Medication Management actually includes
Booking a med check is booking a medical visit, not a vending machine.
Top-rated language in old keywords is ignored. Monitoring quality is the product.
What we do not do
Cash telehealth stimulant mills optimize speed. We optimize a differential and PDMP.
Hormone clinics that ignore lithium or MAOIs create preventable interactions — we reconcile.
Tapering is slower than patients want and faster than 'stay forever' clinics.
Local context for Medication Management in Broward County
Lithium or valproate was never given a level, TSH, or pregnancy counseling.
Clozapine-level monitoring was skipped after a near miss.
Hyponatremia on an SSRI in an older Hollywood patient was never checked.
How Medication Management is structured
Send the prescription to a named pharmacy; document the pharmacy.
Review PDMP and allergies.
Revisit the original diagnosis if two classes have failed.
Confirm the target symptom and the diagnosis it belongs to.
What we rule in — and rule out
med side effects help still has to map to a problem on the list.
Not indicated for out-of-state telehealth prescribing.
Not indicated as a replacement for inpatient care when risk is high.
A DSM-5-TR diagnosis that has an evidence-based pharmacologic option the patient wants to consider.
Labs, scales, and follow-up cadence
Benzodiazepines: indication, duration limit, taper language.
Informed consent stored in the chart.
Valproate: level, LFTs, CBC, pregnancy counseling.
Missed labs = delayed titration.
Questions we hear about Medication Management
Do you treat insomnia with medication only?
No. We look for apnea, circadian issues, alcohol, and psychiatric drivers.
Do you prescribe stimulants?
When the evaluation supports ADHD and PDMP/safety checks pass. Not from a questionnaire alone.
What labs do I need?
Depends on the drug: TSH, lithium level, A1c, etc. We will list them in the plan.
How often are visits?
Tighter after a start or change; wider when stable and labs are current.
Are leftover 'affordable refill' URLs a discount?
No. They are retained slugs. Billing follows insurance contracts.
Can you help me taper?
Yes. Tapers are scheduled by drug class. Do not stop MAOIs, benzos, or paroxetine abruptly on your own.
Next step
If Medication Management is the right next step, schedule a 60–90 minute intake with Dr. Dorothy Chatelier, DNP, FNP-BC, PMHNP-BC. Same-week telehealth follow-ups are used after the diagnostic visit when clinically appropriate.
Questions about insurance, labs, or whether Medication Management 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.
