Public Wi-Fi at a café as the 'clinic.'

Questions we hear about Telehealth Psychiatry
Can you send meds to my pharmacy?
Yes, a Florida pharmacy you designate.
Affordable online psych URL?
Retained slug. Not a discount brand.
Is this the same as therapy?
No. This is medical psychiatric care. Therapy referrals remain separate.
Do you record the visit?
We document a note. We do not post visits.
How close is the office if I need to convert?
About 28 minutes from Pompano Beach to 7603 Davie Road Extension.
What if Zoom fails?
We call you. If safety is in question, we use emergency pathways.
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.
In-office versus Florida telehealth
Pompano Beach sits in Broward County. County-level resources (crisis lines, hospital ERs, IOP programs) are discussed during Telehealth Psychiatry when a higher level of care is safer than outpatient titration.
Commute noise on I-95 and the Turnpike changes whether an in-office Telehealth Psychiatry visit is realistic this week. Telehealth is used when the clinical exam does not require the office.
Record the platform used and time in / time out.
Send prescriptions only to a legitimate pharmacy.
Access from Pompano Beach
South Florida heat, hurricane disruption, shift work, and multigenerational households show up in Pompano Beach presentations. Telehealth Psychiatry intake asks about those stressors explicitly.
ZIP 33060 is the lead postal code listed for Pompano Beach. Mail-order labs and pharmacy routing still use the patient's actual address, not this page's city token.
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.
Hormone pellets discussed by video with no labs.

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.
