Clinical FAQ
Can I refuse weight as a goal?
Yes. We can treat binge-eating and mood without a scale goal.
Insurance?
Verify. Metabolic meds and visits have different coverage rules.
Do I need a dietitian?
Often yes. We refer.
Crisis / medical instability?
ER. Especially with restriction and electrolyte risk.
Do you prescribe GLP-1s?
When medically appropriate and after eating-disorder screening. Not as a cosmetic product.
Telehealth?
Follow-up if you are in Florida. Exams as needed in Hollywood.
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.
Parking, hours, and video visits
South Florida heat, hurricane disruption, shift work, and multigenerational households show up in Pembroke Pines presentations. Wellness & Weight Management intake asks about those stressors explicitly.
ZIP 33023 is the lead postal code listed for Pembroke Pines. Mail-order labs and pharmacy routing still use the patient's actual address, not this page's city token.
Diagnose psychiatric conditions that drive intake.
Refer out when the case is primarily endocrine or bariatric.
Schedule with Dr. Dorothy Chatelier, DNP, FNP-BC, PMHNP-BC
After Wellness & Weight Management is scheduled, complete intake forms once. Repeating the same history at every visit is what we are trying to avoid.
Call (888) 307-2199 to hold an appointment for Wellness & Weight Management. Mention Pembroke Pines so staff can plan in-office versus Florida telehealth for the first visit.

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.
