Pompano Beach FAQs for Men's Testosterone Therapy
Do you start TRT on visit one?
Almost never. We need history and confirmatory morning labs.
Do I need to stop the gym?
No. We need you to stop unsupervised anabolics.
Sleep apnea?
We screen. Treating apnea can change T and mood without TRT.
Heart risk?
We discuss it. We do not advertise TRT as cardio candy.
Bone density?
We refer when indicated.
How close is the office?
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.

28-minute path to the Hollywood office
Commute noise on I-95 and the Turnpike changes whether an in-office Men's Testosterone Therapy visit is realistic this week. Telehealth is used when the clinical exam does not require the office.
South Florida heat, hurricane disruption, shift work, and multigenerational households show up in Pompano Beach presentations. Men's Testosterone Therapy intake asks about those stressors explicitly.
Neighborhoods we hear from most in Pompano Beach include Old Pompano, Cresthaven, and the beach barrier island. ZIP codes 33060, 33062, 33064, 33069 map to this service-area page.
Insurance denied TRT because the workup was incomplete — which was the clinic's job.
Schedule with Dr. Dorothy Chatelier, DNP, FNP-BC, PMHNP-BC
After Men's Testosterone Therapy is scheduled, complete intake forms once. Repeating the same history at every visit is what we are trying to avoid.
If you already have records from another psychiatrist, NP, or therapist, send them before Men's Testosterone Therapy so the interview can start from data instead of from a blank page.

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.
