DSM-5-TR psychiatric evaluation serving Miramar
Hollywood office hours are weekdays 9:00–17:00; Saturday is by appointment.
Clinical scope of Psychiatric Evaluations in Broward County
Telehealth evaluation is appropriate when the patient is in Florida, the presentation is not an emergency, and a physical exam is not required that day.
Mental health assessment in this practice means structured interviewing plus scales. Screening is not the same as a full diagnostic formulation.
Visit flow for Psychiatric Evaluations
Safety: if risk is high, we stop the routine template and use crisis pathways.
After the visit you should be able to repeat the working diagnosis and the next three steps.
Formulation is shared in plain language: what is likely, what is possible, what we are watching.
Medical review flags thyroid, anemia, cardiac QT risk, pregnancy, and neurologic symptoms that redirect the workup.
Questions we hear about Psychiatric Evaluations
How do I prepare?
Medication list, prior psych notes, recent labs, and a timeline of symptoms. Sleep and menstrual data help.
Can I use this evaluation for a legal letter?
Only if the interview actually supports the opinion. We do not write unsupported letters.
Do you treat ADHD in adults?
Yes, with a differential that includes sleep, trauma, mood, and thyroid mimics. Childhood history still matters.
Can you evaluate psychosis?
Yes, and we will escalate to a higher level of care if outpatient treatment is unsafe.
What does 'affordable' in some URLs mean?
Leftover slugs. We do not market cheap care. We bill insurance when in-network and discuss costs before non-covered labs.
What if I am in crisis?
Call 988 or go to an emergency department. This clinic is not an after-hours crisis line.
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.
DSM-5-TR framing for initial psych consult
Eating-pattern change with medical risk (restriction, purging, electrolyte clues).
Prior diagnoses that conflict with each other or with the current mental status exam.
New or unexplained mood, anxiety, attentional, or psychotic symptoms lasting beyond a brief adjustment reaction.
Substance use that may be inducing or masking a primary psychiatric disorder.
Parking, hours, and video visits
{access}. That access pattern is why Psychiatric Evaluations for Miramar is written as a service-area page, not as a fake storefront.
Parking at 7603 Davie Road Extension is on site. Miramar patients who drive 16 minutes should plan for weekday 9:00–17:00 hours; Saturday is by appointment only.
Psychiatric review of systems covers mood, anxiety, psychosis, OCD, trauma, ADHD, sleep, eating, and substance use even if you came for only one of those.
Safety: if risk is high, we stop the routine template and use crisis pathways.
Labs, scales, and follow-up cadence
Notes are written the same day whenever possible so the record matches the visit.
We do not combine MAOIs with contraindicated agents. We do not ignore serotonin syndrome risk.
Higher level of care is recommended when outpatient Psychiatric Evaluations cannot hold the risk.
Benzodiazepines, when used, have an indication, a taper plan, and a discussion of dependence.
