Hollywood medical home for Hollywood TRT questions
Dr. Dorothy Chatelier, DNP, FNP-BC, PMHNP-BC will not start testosterone because a website said you have Low T. Morning labs, repeats, and a psychiatric exam come first.
Clinical scope of Men's Testosterone Therapy in Broward County

Clinical FAQ
How close is the office?
0 minutes from Hollywood.
Can TRT hurt fertility?
Yes. Exogenous testosterone can suppress sperm production. Tell us if you want children.
What about clots and hematocrit?
We monitor hematocrit. High counts need action, not another dose.
Bioidentical?
Marketing word. Monitoring still applies.
Are you a urologist?
No. PMHNP-BC with hormone-informed psychiatry. We refer when urology is needed.
Will you prescribe HCG/AI automatically?
No. Indication required.
Men's Testosterone Therapy versus a generic template visit
We will lose the patient who wants 2000 ng/dL 'because bro science.' That is acceptable.
Telehealth cream mills skip MSE. We do not.
Psychiatry-only care may ignore hypogonadism. We check when the history fits.
Visit flow for Men's Testosterone Therapy
Screen OSA.

Add LH/FSH, prolactin, TSH as indicated.
