Clinical scope of Medication Management in Broward County
Tapering is scheduled. Paroxetine, venlafaxine, benzodiazepines, and stimulants each have different withdrawal physics.
Side-effect visits are diagnostic: we name the mechanism when we can.
In-office versus Florida telehealth
South Florida heat, hurricane disruption, shift work, and multigenerational households show up in Miramar presentations. Medication Management intake asks about those stressors explicitly.
Miramar (Broward County) has about 135,000 residents. The nearest Peace & Heart Wellness exam room is the Hollywood office, about 16 minutes from Miramar Town Center and the Miami-Dade county line.
Review PDMP and allergies.
No-show after a high-risk start triggers outreach.

Opioid + benzo overlap is treated as a safety event.
Benzodiazepines: indication, duration limit, taper language.
QTc risk: ECG when combining high-risk agents.
Visit flow for Medication Management

Counsel on onset, alcohol, driving, pregnancy, and overdose risk.
Check labs due for the current class.
Decide: continue, adjust, switch, or taper — one primary change when possible.
Miramar FAQs for Medication Management
Will you take over my current list?
After a diagnostic review. We do not rubber-stamp unsafe combinations.
Will I get a refill without a visit?
Not as a routine. Monitoring interval is part of the prescription.
What is GeneSight?
A pharmacogenetic panel that may adjust probabilities for certain antidepressants. It does not diagnose ADHD or depression.
Can I refuse a medication?
Always. Informed consent includes the option of no medication.
Do you prescribe stimulants?
When the evaluation supports ADHD and PDMP/safety checks pass. Not from a questionnaire alone.
Where is the office for in-person med checks?
7603 Davie Road Extension, Hollywood, FL 33024 — about 16 minutes from Miramar.
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.
