IV 'weight support' marketing vs actual indications
Pompano Beach food environment (shift work, late restaurants, hurricane stockpiling) is history, not moral failure.
Wellness & Weight Management for Pompano Beach patients
Sustainable wellness plan = behaviors + labs + meds review.
Holistic weight care means whole-person, not unregulated.
Clinical FAQ
Crisis / medical instability?
ER. Especially with restriction and electrolyte risk.
Self-esteem focus only?
Not if medical risk is present.
Can I refuse weight as a goal?
Yes. We can treat binge-eating and mood without a scale goal.
Exercise?
Dosed. Not a punishment.
Insurance?
Verify. Metabolic meds and visits have different coverage rules.
Do you offer IV weight loss?
No.
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.
Parking, hours, and video visits
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.
Commute noise on I-95 and the Turnpike changes whether an in-office Wellness & Weight Management visit is realistic this week. Telehealth is used when the clinical exam does not require the office.
Sleep, shift work, and Pompano Beach food access.
Set behavior metrics, not only pounds.
What we rule in — and rule out
Second opinion after a spa program.
Binge-eating or night-eating.
OSA plus weight plus mood.
Not indicated as cosmetic rapid loss.
Labs, scales, and follow-up cadence
Alcohol quantification.
Informed consent for off-label metabolic uses.
Eating-disorder screen every new patient in this service line.
GLP-1: contraindication check, follow-up GI/mood.
How Wellness & Weight Management is structured
Stop dangerous 'wellness' products.
Screen restriction, binge, purge, laxatives.
Telehealth for follow-up; office for exams.
Labs as indicated.
Next step
Questions about insurance, labs, or whether Wellness & Weight Management can be done by video: call (888) 307-2199 before you book so the visit type matches the clinical need.
After Wellness & Weight Management is scheduled, complete intake forms once. Repeating the same history at every visit is what we are trying to avoid.
