Pompano Beach FAQs for Wellness & Weight Management
Is binge-eating an eating disorder?
Binge-eating disorder is a DSM-5-TR diagnosis. We screen for it.
Can my antipsychotic stay?
Sometimes yes with monitoring; sometimes a switch is safer. That is a risk-benefit talk.
Crisis / medical instability?
ER. Especially with restriction and electrolyte risk.
Insurance?
Verify. Metabolic meds and visits have different coverage rules.
Is this a weight-loss spa?
No. It is psychiatric and metabolic overlap care.
Will you weigh me every visit?
Only if it is clinically useful and not harmful to your eating-disorder recovery.
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.
