Clinical FAQ
How far is the office?
28 minutes from Pompano Beach.
Crisis / medical instability?
ER. Especially with restriction and electrolyte risk.
Insurance?
Verify. Metabolic meds and visits have different coverage rules.
Will you weigh me every visit?
Only if it is clinically useful and not harmful to your eating-disorder recovery.
Do you offer IV weight loss?
No.
Can my antipsychotic stay?
Sometimes yes with monitoring; sometimes a switch is safer. That is a risk-benefit talk.
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.

Book Wellness & Weight Management
Request a Wellness & Weight Management visit by calling (888) 307-2199 or using the booking form. Bring current medications, prior labs, and a list of what has already been tried.
If you already have records from another psychiatrist, NP, or therapist, send them before Wellness & Weight Management so the interview can start from data instead of from a blank page.
