Clinical FAQ
What about emergencies?
988 or ER. Video visits are not emergency departments.
How close is the office if I need to convert?
About 18 minutes from Plantation to 7603 Davie Road Extension.
Can you send meds to my pharmacy?
Yes, a Florida pharmacy you designate.
What if my kids are home in Plantation?
We need a private room. Headphones help; a closed door is better. We will reschedule rather than take a corrupted history.
Can I do the first visit by video?
Often yes if privacy and risk allow. We may require Hollywood for complex or high-risk cases.
Can you order labs?
Yes, to draw sites near 33311.
How long is the drive from Plantation?
Our Hollywood office is approximately 15-20 minutes from Plantation via 595 or Broward Boulevard. Telehealth is also available for follow-up appointments.
Do you take a functional approach to psychiatry?
Yes. Beyond traditional medication management, we investigate root causes including hormone levels, thyroid function, and nutritional deficiencies — an approach Plantation patients particularly value.
Book Telehealth Psychiatry
If Telehealth Psychiatry 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.
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.
