Pompano Beach FAQs for Wellness & Weight Management
Crisis / medical instability?
ER. Especially with restriction and electrolyte risk.

Do you offer IV weight loss?
No.
Is binge-eating an eating disorder?
Binge-eating disorder is a DSM-5-TR diagnosis. We screen for it.

Not if medical risk is present.

Verify. Metabolic meds and visits have different coverage rules.

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.

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.
