Home psychiatric evaluation when the exam allows it
After hours is still 988, not a portal message.
Telehealth Psychiatry for Pembroke Pines patients
Telehealth ADHD care does not mean a stimulant from a form.
Virtual appointments still require a mental status exam — camera on when risk or diagnosis requires it.
Questions we hear about Telehealth Psychiatry
Can you order labs?
Yes, to draw sites near 33023.
What if Zoom fails?
We call you. If safety is in question, we use emergency pathways.
What if my kids are home in Pembroke Pines?
We need a private room. Headphones help; a closed door is better. We will reschedule rather than take a corrupted history.
Do you prescribe Adderall by video?
Only if the evaluation and PDMP support it, and policy allows. Not as a first-click product.
Who is on camera?
Dr. Dorothy Chatelier, DNP, FNP-BC, PMHNP-BC — not an anonymous coach.
Can you send meds to my pharmacy?
Yes, a Florida pharmacy you designate.
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.
In-office versus Florida telehealth
Parking at 7603 Davie Road Extension is on site. Pembroke Pines patients who drive 12 minutes should plan for weekday 9:00–17:00 hours; Saturday is by appointment only.
Pembroke Pines 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.
Verify insurance telehealth coverage before the visit when possible.
Do not start high-risk controlled substances on a first video visit without a supporting protocol.
DSM-5-TR framing for functional telepsych
Weather, illness, or mobility limits that still allow a private room and camera.
Not a replacement for psychotherapy groups or IOP.
Perinatal patients may use video for counseling and some follow-up; obstetric emergencies are not telehealth.
Not indicated for emergency agitation, overdose, or active SI with plan and intent that needs a room.

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.
Pembroke Pines (Broward County) has about 171,000 residents. The nearest Peace & Heart Wellness exam room is the Hollywood office, about 12 minutes from Pembroke Lakes Mall corridor and Century Village.
You need a physical neuro exam and were told the app is enough.
How Telehealth Psychiatry is structured
If video fails, call the number on file.
Same history and MSE as office, adapted to camera.
Verify insurance telehealth coverage before the visit when possible.
Do not start high-risk controlled substances on a first video visit without a supporting protocol.
Book Telehealth Psychiatry
If you already have records from another psychiatrist, NP, or therapist, send them before Telehealth Psychiatry so the interview can start from data instead of from a blank page.
Questions about insurance, labs, or whether Telehealth Psychiatry can be done by video: call (888) 307-2199 before you book so the visit type matches the clinical need.

Florida telehealth psychiatry is available to established and new patients located in Florida at the time of the visit, subject to licensure and clinical appropriateness. An in-person evaluation at the Hollywood office may be recommended when a physical exam, vital signs, or a more complete diagnostic interview is needed.
