Medication management from the Hollywood medical home
Deerfield Beach patients (36 min to Hollywood) can split care: in-office labs, video titration when stable.
Medication Management for Deerfield Beach patients
Side-effect visits are diagnostic: we name the mechanism when we can.
Antipsychotic monitoring is metabolic and neurologic, not just 'mood better / worse.'
In-office versus Florida telehealth
ZIP 33064 is the lead postal code listed for Deerfield Beach. Mail-order labs and pharmacy routing still use the patient's actual address, not this page's city token.
Parking at 7603 Davie Road Extension is on site. Deerfield Beach patients who drive 36 minutes should plan for weekday 9:00–17:00 hours; Saturday is by appointment only.
Telehealth visits verify Florida location.
Document why a requested stimulant or benzo was declined.
Evidence we actually use
Crisis care is not provided after hours. Medication Management patients in acute danger are directed to 988 or an emergency department. Ongoing care resumes after medical stabilization.
The practice is women-owned and Haitian-led. Dr. Dorothy Chatelier, DNP, FNP-BC, PMHNP-BC documents cultural context — including stigma in Caribbean and Latin American families — during Medication Management rather than treating it as an afterthought.
Care is structured around validated instruments (PHQ-9, GAD-7, ASRS, MDQ) plus a clinical interview. Scores inform Medication Management; they do not replace it.
How Medication Management is structured
Share the plan with the therapist when consent exists.
Telehealth visits verify Florida location.
Confirm the target symptom and the diagnosis it belongs to.
Document why a requested stimulant or benzo was declined.
Monitoring and safety in Medication Management
New antidepressant: short-interval follow-up for activation and SI.
MAOI diet and washout rules if that class is ever used.
SGAs: weight, A1c, lipids; AIMS on a schedule.
Hyponatremia: BMP in older adults on SSRIs when symptoms fit.
Clinical FAQ
Do you treat insomnia with medication only?
No. We look for apnea, circadian issues, alcohol, and psychiatric drivers.
Will I get a refill without a visit?
Not as a routine. Monitoring interval is part of the prescription.
Where is the office for in-person med checks?
7603 Davie Road Extension, Hollywood, FL 33024 — about 36 minutes from Deerfield Beach.
Can I refuse a medication?
Always. Informed consent includes the option of no medication.
Will you take over my current list?
After a diagnostic review. We do not rubber-stamp unsafe combinations.
Can medication management be telehealth?
Yes if you are in Florida and the case is appropriate. Controlled-substance rules still apply.
Can seasonal residents establish psychiatric care with you?
Yes. We offer initial evaluations for seasonal visitors and can continue care via telehealth when patients return to their home state, subject to licensing requirements.
Do you treat depression related to isolation?
Absolutely. Isolation-related depression is common in coastal communities, especially among retirees and seasonal residents. Our evaluations identify contributing factors including hormonal changes and social disconnection.
What we rule in — and rule out
Not indicated for out-of-state telehealth prescribing.
ADHD medication only after the evaluation supports ADHD over mimics.
Intolerable side effects that might respond to dose change, switch, or adjunct.
Antidepressants only after bipolar-spectrum screening.
Next step
Crisis now is 988 or the ER — not the booking form. For non-urgent Medication Management, use (888) 307-2199 during weekday hours.
If you already have records from another psychiatrist, NP, or therapist, send them before Medication Management so the interview can start from data instead of from a blank page.

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.
