GeneSight-informed trials after failed antidepressants
Florida location is verified on telehealth visits before a prescription is sent.
What Medication Management actually includes
Psych med management includes saying no when the requested drug does not match the diagnosis.
ADHD titration follows a confirmed differential. Heart rate, sleep, appetite, and diversion risk are part of the visit.
Access from Pompano Beach
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.
Parking at 7603 Davie Road Extension is on site. Pompano Beach patients who drive 28 minutes should plan for weekday 9:00–17:00 hours; Saturday is by appointment only.
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.
Cannabis and alcohol were left off the medication list as if they were not psychoactive.
What we rule in — and rule out
Failed or partial response to a current agent after an adequate trial.
Hypnotics only after sleep differential, not as a standing nightcap.
Intolerable side effects that might respond to dose change, switch, or adjunct.
Not indicated to supply controlled substances without a supporting diagnosis and monitoring plan.
Pompano Beach FAQs for Medication Management
Can I refuse a medication?
Always. Informed consent includes the option of no medication.
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.
What is PDMP?
Florida's prescription drug monitoring program. We check it before controlled substances.
What is GeneSight?
A pharmacogenetic panel that may adjust probabilities for certain antidepressants. It does not diagnose ADHD or depression.
Where is the office for in-person med checks?
7603 Davie Road Extension, Hollywood, FL 33024 — about 28 minutes from Pompano Beach.
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.
Protocol elements we do not skip
Missed labs = delayed titration.
Hyponatremia: BMP in older adults on SSRIs when symptoms fit.
MAOI diet and washout rules if that class is ever used.
New antidepressant: short-interval follow-up for activation and SI.

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.
