Sleep, cortisol clues, and the scale
IV drips are not a weight-loss indication. We will say no.
Clinical scope of Wellness & Weight Management in Broward County
Holistic weight care means whole-person, not unregulated.
Sleep weight wellness: apnea and insomnia are metabolic.
In-office versus Florida telehealth
Pompano Beach sits in Broward County. County-level resources (crisis lines, hospital ERs, IOP programs) are discussed during Wellness & Weight Management when a higher level of care is safer than outpatient titration.
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.
Document GLP-1 risks if used.
Safety if BMI or vitals are unsafe.
Questions we hear about Wellness & Weight Management
Insurance?
Verify. Metabolic meds and visits have different coverage rules.
Can my antipsychotic stay?
Sometimes yes with monitoring; sometimes a switch is safer. That is a risk-benefit talk.
Telehealth?
Follow-up if you are in Florida. Exams as needed in Hollywood.
Crisis / medical instability?
ER. Especially with restriction and electrolyte risk.
Do you prescribe GLP-1s?
When medically appropriate and after eating-disorder screening. Not as a cosmetic product.
Can I refuse weight as a goal?
Yes. We can treat binge-eating and mood without a scale goal.
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.

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.
