Medication Management for Pompano Beach patients

Hormone-mood medications are reconciled with estradiol, progesterone, and testosterone plans.

Functional psychiatry does not mean 'no medication.' It means medication plus the labs that could change the choice.

DSM-5-TR framing for Medication Management

Polypharmacy review when the list exceeds what the diagnosis can justify.

Medication Management still has to map to a problem on the list.

Failed or partial response to a current agent after an adequate trial.

Why Pompano Beach presentations look the way they do

Three benzodiazepines from three apps, no taper plan, and a PDMP that tells a story nobody reviewed.

Cannabis and alcohol were left off the medication list as if they were not psychoactive.

In-office versus Florida telehealth

Pompano Beach sits in Broward County. County-level resources (crisis lines, hospital ERs, IOP programs) are discussed during Medication Management when a higher level of care is safer than outpatient titration.

Pompano Beach (Broward County) has about 112,000 residents. The nearest Peace & Heart Wellness exam room is the Hollywood office, about 28 minutes from Pompano Beach Pier and the Atlantic Boulevard corridor.

Decide: continue, adjust, switch, or taper — one primary change when possible.

Review PDMP and allergies.

Outcomes we target — without promising them

  • Coordination with HRT/TRT so endocrine and psychotropic plans are not accidental.

  • A follow-up date before you leave the visit.

  • AIMS screening when dopamine blockers are used long-term.

  • Respect for patients who prefer the smallest effective regimen.

  • Informed consent for off-label use.

Clinical FAQ

What about pregnancy?

Tell us before a prescription is sent. Some agents need specialist coordination.

What is PDMP?

Florida's prescription drug monitoring program. We check it before controlled substances.

Do you prescribe stimulants?

When the evaluation supports ADHD and PDMP/safety checks pass. Not from a questionnaire alone.

Will you take over my current list?

After a diagnostic review. We do not rubber-stamp unsafe combinations.

How often are visits?

Tighter after a start or change; wider when stable and labs are current.

Can you prescribe if I am traveling?

Only if you are physically in a state where we are licensed — currently Florida telehealth.

What insurance do you accept for Pompano Beach patients?

We accept most major insurance plans including Aetna, Cigna, Blue Cross, United, and more. Call (888) 307-2199 to verify your specific plan before your first visit.

Can you prescribe medication at the first appointment?

After a thorough psychiatric evaluation, Dr. Chatelier may recommend medication as part of your treatment plan. Initial evaluations typically last 60-90 minutes to ensure we understand your complete picture.
