How Dr. Dorothy Chatelier, DNP, FNP-BC, PMHNP-BC practices Wellness & Weight Management
Crisis care is not provided after hours. Wellness & Weight Management patients in acute danger are directed to 988 or an emergency department. Ongoing care resumes after medical stabilization.
The Hollywood office is the only brick-and-mortar site. Wellness & Weight Management for Lauderhill is service-area care from that office plus telehealth — not a separate clinic in every city.
Hormone-informed psychiatry means estradiol, progesterone, testosterone, thyroid, and cortisol are considered when the history for Wellness & Weight Management points there — not as a default panel on every patient.
Next step
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.
Crisis now is 988 or the ER — not the booking form. For non-urgent Wellness & Weight Management, use (888) 307-2199 during weekday hours.
