Video follow-ups for Broward County commuters
Best-practice telehealth looks boring: same note, same pharmacy send, same follow-up.
What Telehealth Psychiatry actually includes
Telepsych hormone therapy is follow-up and counseling; procedures stay in clinic or at a lab.
Virtual appointments still require a mental status exam — camera on when risk or diagnosis requires it.
Miramar FAQs for Telehealth Psychiatry
Is it encrypted?
Yes. Still avoid public Wi-Fi.
Can you order labs?
Yes, to draw sites near 33023.
Can I do the first visit by video?
Often yes if privacy and risk allow. We may require Hollywood for complex or high-risk cases.
What platform do you use?
A HIPAA-compliant video platform. You will get a link after booking.
Can a family member sit in?
With your consent, as collateral. Not as a substitute historian who takes over.
Who is on camera?
Dr. Dorothy Chatelier, DNP, FNP-BC, PMHNP-BC — not an anonymous coach.
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 affordable online psych
affordable online psych still has to be a medical visit, not a chat.

Weather, illness, or mobility limits that still allow a private room and camera.
Diagnostic evaluation when a physical exam is not required that day.
How Miramar patients actually get here

Commute noise on I-95 and the Turnpike changes whether an in-office Telehealth Psychiatry visit is realistic this week. Telehealth is used when the clinical exam does not require the office.
Same history and MSE as office, adapted to camera.
If video fails, call the number on file.

Miramar sits in Broward County. County-level resources (crisis lines, hospital ERs, IOP programs) are discussed during Telehealth Psychiatry when a higher level of care is safer than outpatient titration.
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.
Camera-off visits that cannot complete a mental status exam.
Next step
If Telehealth Psychiatry is the right next step, schedule a 60–90 minute intake with Dr. Dorothy Chatelier, DNP, FNP-BC, PMHNP-BC. Same-week telehealth follow-ups are used after the diagnostic visit when clinically appropriate.
Crisis now is 988 or the ER — not the booking form. For non-urgent Telehealth Psychiatry, use (888) 307-2199 during weekday hours.
