Side-effect management that names the actual syndrome
Missed monitoring labs pause titration. That is safety, not punishment.
Clinical scope of Medication Management in Broward County
Genetic testing (pharmacogenomics) may change CYP2D6/2C19 probabilities. It is not a personality test.
Side-effect visits are diagnostic: we name the mechanism when we can.
Miramar FAQs for Medication Management
What about pregnancy?
Tell us before a prescription is sent. Some agents need specialist coordination.
Do you monitor antipsychotics?
Weight, A1c, lipids, and neurologic side effects are part of the protocol.
Are leftover 'affordable refill' URLs a discount?
No. They are retained slugs. Billing follows insurance contracts.
Can you help me taper?
Yes. Tapers are scheduled by drug class. Do not stop MAOIs, benzos, or paroxetine abruptly on your own.
Will I get a refill without a visit?
Not as a routine. Monitoring interval is part of the prescription.
Do you work with my therapist?
With consent, yes. Medication does not replace psychotherapy when both are indicated.
Do you understand Caribbean mental health perspectives?
Yes. Dr. Chatelier is Haitian-American and deeply understands the cultural nuances that affect mental health care in Caribbean communities. We provide culturally sensitive psychiatric treatment.
Is your office accessible from Miramar?
Our Hollywood office is about 15 minutes from Miramar via Miramar Parkway. We also offer telehealth appointments for added convenience.

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.
