Questions we hear about Women's Hormone Therapy
Is bioidentical safer?
Bioidentical describes structure. Risk depends on dose, route, and your history — not the marketing word.
Is this anti-aging?
No.
How close is the office?
About 32 minutes from Lighthouse Point.
Do leftover affordable URLs mean cheap estrogen?
No.
Are you a gynecologist?
No. Dr. Dorothy Chatelier, DNP, FNP-BC, PMHNP-BC is a PMHNP-BC providing hormone-informed psychiatric care.
What about breast cancer risk?
We discuss it. Personal history may require oncology/GYN before estrogen.
Do you offer pharmacogenetic testing?
Yes. We offer pharmacogenetic (GeneSight) testing to determine which psychiatric medications are most likely to be effective for your specific genetic makeup, reducing trial-and-error in medication selection.
What makes your evaluations comprehensive?
Our initial evaluations last 60-90 minutes and include clinical assessment, review of functional lab options, hormone screening discussion, and a personalized treatment plan — not a 15-minute med check.
Protocol elements we do not skip
No pellet-only practice.
Lactation: pump/dump or compatible med list.
Informed consent stored.
Mood scales at baseline and follow-up.

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.
