If the diagnosis is wrong, no titration schedule will look like recovery. We will re-evaluate rather than stack drugs.

Questions we hear about Medication Management
What labs do I need?
Depends on the drug: TSH, lithium level, A1c, etc. We will list them in the plan.
Can you help me taper?
Yes. Tapers are scheduled by drug class. Do not stop MAOIs, benzos, or paroxetine abruptly on your own.
Can medication management be telehealth?
Yes if you are in Florida and the case is appropriate. Controlled-substance rules still apply.
How often are visits?
Tighter after a start or change; wider when stable and labs are current.
What if side effects start this week?
Call the office. Do not wait for a distant follow-up if symptoms are severe. ER for emergency symptoms.
What about pregnancy?
Tell us before a prescription is sent. Some agents need specialist coordination.
How close are you to Pembroke Pines?
Our Hollywood office is approximately 10 minutes from central Pembroke Pines via Pines Boulevard or Sheridan Street. We also offer telehealth for maximum convenience.
Do you serve Century Village Pembroke Pines?
Yes, we serve many patients from Century Village and specialize in age-related mood changes, medication management for seniors, and hormone therapy.
How Medication Management is structured
Send the prescription to a named pharmacy; document the pharmacy.
Review PDMP and allergies.
Set the next visit before the bottle runs out.
Confirm the target symptom and the diagnosis it belongs to.
Schedule with Dr. Dorothy Chatelier, DNP, FNP-BC, PMHNP-BC
After Medication Management is scheduled, complete intake forms once. Repeating the same history at every visit is what we are trying to avoid.
If Medication Management 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.
