Medication management from the Hollywood medical home
Polypharmacy is treated as a risk to be justified, not a badge of complexity.
Medication Management for Oakland Park patients
Genetic testing (pharmacogenomics) may change CYP2D6/2C19 probabilities. It is not a personality test.
Psychiatric medication management is ongoing medical treatment: indication, dose, monitoring, and an exit plan.
Labs, scales, and follow-up cadence
Clozapine: ANC monitoring — we refer if we cannot meet the REMS cadence.
Missed labs = delayed titration.
Lithium: level, TSH, creatinine, pregnancy test as indicated.
QTc risk: ECG when combining high-risk agents.
From intake to follow-up: Medication Management
Telehealth visits verify Florida location.
Set the next visit before the bottle runs out.
If prior authorization is required, start it the same day.
Revisit the original diagnosis if two classes have failed.
Indications and differentials
ADHD medication only after the evaluation supports ADHD over mimics.
A DSM-5-TR diagnosis that has an evidence-based pharmacologic option the patient wants to consider.
Hypnotics only after sleep differential, not as a standing nightcap.
Perinatal prescribing only with risk-benefit counseling.
22-minute path to the Hollywood office
Commute noise on I-95 and the Turnpike changes whether an in-office Medication Management visit is realistic this week. Telehealth is used when the clinical exam does not require the office.
Oakland Park (Broward County) has about 45,000 residents. The nearest Peace & Heart Wellness exam room is the Hollywood office, about 22 minutes from Downtown Oakland Park and the Dixie Highway arts corridor.
South Florida heat, hurricane disruption, shift work, and multigenerational households show up in Oakland Park presentations. Medication Management intake asks about those stressors explicitly.
Lithium or valproate was never given a level, TSH, or pregnancy counseling.
Clinical FAQ
Do you work with my therapist?
With consent, yes. Medication does not replace psychotherapy when both are indicated.
Do you prescribe stimulants?
When the evaluation supports ADHD and PDMP/safety checks pass. Not from a questionnaire alone.
What about pregnancy?
Tell us before a prescription is sent. Some agents need specialist coordination.
Where is the office for in-person med checks?
7603 Davie Road Extension, Hollywood, FL 33024 — about 22 minutes from Oakland Park.
What is PDMP?
Florida's prescription drug monitoring program. We check it before controlled substances.
Can I refuse a medication?
Always. Informed consent includes the option of no medication.
Do you treat anxiety related to life transitions?
Yes. Life transitions — career changes, relocations, relationship shifts — are common triggers for anxiety and depression. Our evaluations assess these factors and create targeted treatment plans.
How far is Oakland Park from your office?
Our Hollywood office is about 20 minutes from Oakland Park. Telehealth appointments are also available for follow-up medication management visits.
Schedule with Dr. Dorothy Chatelier, DNP, FNP-BC, PMHNP-BC
If you already have records from another psychiatrist, NP, or therapist, send them before Medication Management so the interview can start from data instead of from a blank page.
Request a Medication Management visit by calling (888) 307-2199 or using the booking form. Bring current medications, prior labs, and a list of what has already been tried.
