Clinical FAQ
Do you prescribe HRT?
When indicated after history, labs, and risk counseling, and often in coordination with GYN. This is not a pellet mill.
Can this be telehealth?
Counseling and some follow-up, if you are in Florida. Procedures and some exams cannot.
Is brain fog always menopause?
No. Sleep, ADHD, depression, B12, and thyroid are on the list.
What is PMDD?
A DSM-5-TR diagnosis with symptoms in the luteal phase that remit after menses. Timing matters.
What labs?
Individualized: estradiol, progesterone, FSH, TSH, ferritin, vitamin D as indicated.
Do leftover affordable URLs mean cheap estrogen?
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.
Access from Pompano Beach
Pompano Beach sits in Broward County. County-level resources (crisis lines, hospital ERs, IOP programs) are discussed during Women's Hormone Therapy when a higher level of care is safer than outpatient titration.
South Florida heat, hurricane disruption, shift work, and multigenerational households show up in Pompano Beach presentations. Women's Hormone Therapy intake asks about those stressors explicitly.
Commute noise on I-95 and the Turnpike changes whether an in-office Women's Hormone Therapy visit is realistic this week. Telehealth is used when the clinical exam does not require the office.
Progesterone made you depressed and nobody changed the regimen.
Labs, scales, and follow-up cadence
Lactation: pump/dump or compatible med list.
No pellet-only practice.
Do not exceed physiologic replacement as a mood experiment.
Informed consent stored.
