Dr. Dorothy Chatelier, DNP, FNP-BC, PMHNP-BC.

Next step
Call (888) 307-2199 to hold an appointment for Wellness & Weight Management. Mention Margate so staff can plan in-office versus Florida telehealth for the first visit.
After Wellness & Weight Management is scheduled, complete intake forms once. Repeating the same history at every visit is what we are trying to avoid.

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.
