Pompano Beach FAQs for Psychiatric Evaluations
Where is the office?
7603 Davie Road Extension, Hollywood, FL 33024 — about 28 minutes from Pompano Beach.
How long is a psychiatric evaluation?
New evaluations are typically 60–90 minutes. Follow-up length depends on risk and how many variables changed.
How soon is follow-up?
Often 2–4 weeks after a new medication or a complex formulation; longer when stable.
Will you prescribe on visit one?
Only when the diagnosis, safety, and monitoring plan support it. Controlled substances have a higher bar.
What if I am in crisis?
Call 988 or go to an emergency department. This clinic is not an after-hours crisis line.
Is the visit confidential?
HIPAA applies, with the usual safety exceptions (imminent harm, mandated reports).
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.
