Refills are tied to clinical follow-up. Portal messages do not restart stimulants or benzodiazepines.
Clinical scope of Medication Management in Broward County
Leftover 'affordable refill' slugs are not a cash-pay promise.

Clinical FAQ
Do you treat insomnia with medication only?
No. We look for apnea, circadian issues, alcohol, and psychiatric drivers.
What is GeneSight?
A pharmacogenetic panel that may adjust probabilities for certain antidepressants. It does not diagnose ADHD or depression.
Do you prescribe stimulants?
When the evaluation supports ADHD and PDMP/safety checks pass. Not from a questionnaire alone.
Can you help me taper?
Yes. Tapers are scheduled by drug class. Do not stop MAOIs, benzos, or paroxetine abruptly on your own.
Do you work with my therapist?
With consent, yes. Medication does not replace psychotherapy when both are indicated.
What labs do I need?
Depends on the drug: TSH, lithium level, A1c, etc. We will list them in the plan.
Do you provide LGBTQ+-affirming psychiatric care?
Yes. We provide competent, affirming psychiatric care for all patients. Our hormone therapy services and psychiatric evaluations are delivered with respect for every patient's identity.
Can you coordinate hormone therapy with psychiatric medication?
Absolutely. This is one of our specialties. We understand the interplay between hormone levels and mood, and manage both under one clinical roof for optimal outcomes.
How Dr. Dorothy Chatelier, DNP, FNP-BC, PMHNP-BC practices Medication Management
HIPAA-compliant records, encrypted telehealth, and a single Hollywood office at 7603 Davie Road Extension keep Medication Management identifiable to one medical home instead of a rotating locum panel.
Informed consent for Medication Management covers benefits, risks, alternatives (including no medication), and the limits of telehealth. Patients can decline any lab or medication without losing access to the diagnostic formulation.
Hormone-informed psychiatry means estradiol, progesterone, testosterone, thyroid, and cortisol are considered when the history for Medication Management points there — not as a default panel on every patient.
Protocol elements we do not skip
Formulary alternatives offered without pretending they are identical.
Opioid + benzo overlap is treated as a safety event.
Clozapine: ANC monitoring — we refer if we cannot meet the REMS cadence.
Benzodiazepines: indication, duration limit, taper language.
Parking, hours, and video visits
ZIP 33305 is the lead postal code listed for Wilton Manors. Mail-order labs and pharmacy routing still use the patient's actual address, not this page's city token.
Commute noise on I-95 and the Turnpike changes whether an in-office Medication Management visit is realistic this week. Telehealth is used when the clinical exam does not require the office.
Reconcile the current list, including OTC, cannabis, and hormones.
Telehealth visits verify Florida location.
From intake to follow-up: Medication Management
Revisit the original diagnosis if two classes have failed.
Document why a requested stimulant or benzo was declined.
Counsel on onset, alcohol, driving, pregnancy, and overdose risk.
Set the next visit before the bottle runs out.
Next step
If Medication Management is the right next step, schedule a 60–90 minute intake with Dr. Dorothy Chatelier, DNP, FNP-BC, PMHNP-BC. Same-week telehealth follow-ups are used after the diagnostic visit when clinically appropriate.
Request a Medication 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.

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.
