Miramar FAQs for Telehealth Psychiatry
What about emergencies?
988 or ER. Video visits are not emergency departments.
Do I have to be in Florida?
Yes, at the time of the visit.
Will you see me in a parked car?
Only if it is private, stationary, and clinically appropriate. Driving is a no.
Can you send meds to my pharmacy?
Yes, a Florida pharmacy you designate.
What if my kids are home in Miramar?
We need a private room. Headphones help; a closed door is better. We will reschedule rather than take a corrupted history.
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.

Next step
Crisis now is 988 or the ER — not the booking form. For non-urgent Telehealth Psychiatry, use (888) 307-2199 during weekday hours.
After Telehealth Psychiatry is scheduled, complete intake forms once. Repeating the same history at every visit is what we are trying to avoid.
