Lauderhill FAQs for Medication Management
Will you take over my current list?
After a diagnostic review. We do not rubber-stamp unsafe combinations.
What about pregnancy?
Tell us before a prescription is sent. Some agents need specialist coordination.
Are leftover 'affordable refill' URLs a discount?
No. They are retained slugs. Billing follows insurance contracts.
Will I get a refill without a visit?
Not as a routine. Monitoring interval is part of the prescription.
Do you monitor antipsychotics?
Weight, A1c, lipids, and neurologic side effects are part of the protocol.
Can I refuse a medication?
Always. Informed consent includes the option of no medication.
Does Dr. Chatelier understand Caribbean cultural views on mental health?
Yes. Dr. Chatelier is Haitian-American and deeply understands the cultural perspectives on mental health common in Caribbean communities. She provides respectful, culturally aware psychiatric care.

Parking, hours, and video visits

If prior authorization is required, start it the same day.
Telehealth visits verify Florida location.
