Schedule with Dr. Dorothy Chatelier, DNP, FNP-BC, PMHNP-BC
Start with one thorough Functional Psychiatry & Lab Testing evaluation rather than a series of 15-minute check-ins. Book at (888) 307-2199 or online.
If you already have records from another psychiatrist, NP, or therapist, send them before Functional Psychiatry & Lab Testing so the interview can start from data instead of from a blank page.
