Medication management from the Hollywood medical home
Pembroke Pines patients (12 min to Hollywood) can split care: in-office labs, video titration when stable.
What Medication Management actually includes
Hormone-mood medications are reconciled with estradiol, progesterone, and testosterone plans.
Genetic testing (pharmacogenomics) may change CYP2D6/2C19 probabilities. It is not a personality test.
Credentials and method
Controlled-substance prescribing, when used in Medication Management, follows Florida PDMP review and a monitoring plan. Stimulants and benzodiazepines are never started from a portal message alone.
Dr. Dorothy Chatelier, DNP, FNP-BC, PMHNP-BC holds DNP, FNP-BC, and PMHNP-BC credentials. Medication Management is advanced-practice psychiatric care, not a 15-minute refill mill and not unsupervised coaching.
The practice does not publish fabricated star ratings. Patient stories on this site are process descriptions, not purchased testimonials.
