Medication Management for Miramar patients

Antipsychotic monitoring is metabolic and neurologic, not just 'mood better / worse.'
Labs, scales, and follow-up cadence
Hyponatremia: BMP in older adults on SSRIs when symptoms fit.
Opioid + benzo overlap is treated as a safety event.
QTc risk: ECG when combining high-risk agents.
Valproate: level, LFTs, CBC, pregnancy counseling.

South Florida heat, hurricane disruption, shift work, and multigenerational households show up in Miramar presentations. Medication Management intake asks about those stressors explicitly.
Miramar sits in Broward County. County-level resources (crisis lines, hospital ERs, IOP programs) are discussed during Medication Management when a higher level of care is safer than outpatient titration.
ZIP 33023 is the lead postal code listed for Miramar. Mail-order labs and pharmacy routing still use the patient's actual address, not this page's city token.

Miramar FAQs for Medication Management
How often are visits?
Tighter after a start or change; wider when stable and labs are current.
Can I refuse a medication?
Always. Informed consent includes the option of no medication.
Can medication management be telehealth?
Yes if you are in Florida and the case is appropriate. Controlled-substance rules still apply.
Can you help me taper?
Yes. Tapers are scheduled by drug class. Do not stop MAOIs, benzos, or paroxetine abruptly on your own.
Do you work with my therapist?
With consent, yes. Medication does not replace psychotherapy when both are indicated.
What is PDMP?
Florida's prescription drug monitoring program. We check it before controlled substances.
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.
