Access from Sunrise
Commute noise on I-95 and the Turnpike changes whether an in-office Massage Therapy visit is realistic this week. Telehealth is used when the clinical exam does not require the office.
Sunrise sits in Broward County. County-level resources (crisis lines, hospital ERs, IOP programs) are discussed during Massage Therapy when a higher level of care is safer than outpatient titration.
Sunrise (Broward County) has about 96,000 residents. The nearest Peace & Heart Wellness exam room is the Hollywood office, about 22 minutes from Sawgrass Mills and the Amerant Bank Arena district.

Schedule with Dr. Dorothy Chatelier, DNP, FNP-BC, PMHNP-BC
Request a Massage Therapy 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.
After Massage Therapy is scheduled, complete intake forms once. Repeating the same history at every visit is what we are trying to avoid.

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.
