Functional psychiatry labs for Pembroke Pines patients
Dr. Dorothy Chatelier, DNP, FNP-BC, PMHNP-BC orders labs to change a decision. If a result cannot change the plan, we do not need the test.
What Functional Psychiatry & Lab Testing actually includes

Abnormal prior labs without interpretation.
Fatigue, cold intolerance, hair loss, or weight change suggesting thyroid/iron.
Failed antidepressant trials considering pharmacogenetics.
