Clinical FAQ
Do you prescribe Adderall by video?
Only if the evaluation and PDMP support it, and policy allows. Not as a first-click product.
What if my kids are home in Lauderhill?
We need a private room. Headphones help; a closed door is better. We will reschedule rather than take a corrupted history.
What if I travel to Georgia?
We cannot see you by telehealth while you are outside Florida.
Will you see me in a parked car?
Only if it is private, stationary, and clinically appropriate. Driving is a no.
Can you send meds to my pharmacy?
Yes, a Florida pharmacy you designate.
What if Zoom fails?
We call you. If safety is in question, we use emergency pathways.
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.
