men's TRT without a gym-bro protocol
Dr. Dorothy Chatelier, DNP, FNP-BC, PMHNP-BC will not start testosterone because a website said you have Low T. Morning labs, repeats, and a psychiatric exam come first.
What Men's Testosterone Therapy actually includes
Energy complaints need sleep and mood assessment.
Andropause is not a DSM diagnosis. Hypogonadism and depression are.
Protocol elements we do not skip
Fertility warning documented.
Morning draw.
Informed consent.
OSA screen.
Clinical FAQ
Bioidentical?
Marketing word. Monitoring still applies.
Can I stay on my mill protocol?
Only if it is safe. Many are not.
Can TRT hurt fertility?
Yes. Exogenous testosterone can suppress sperm production. Tell us if you want children.
Will you prescribe HCG/AI automatically?
No. Indication required.
What about clots and hematocrit?
We monitor hematocrit. High counts need action, not another dose.
Telehealth?
Lab review and counseling if you are in Florida. Not a mail-order steroid service.
Do you accept insurance for Sunrise patients?
Yes, we accept most major insurance plans. Call us at (888) 307-2199 to verify your specific coverage before your first appointment.
Can I get evening or weekend telehealth appointments?
We offer flexible scheduling to accommodate work schedules. Contact our office to discuss available appointment times.

Access from Sunrise
Neighborhoods we hear from most in Sunrise include New River, Springtree, and the Flamingo Road corridor. ZIP codes 33313, 33322, 33323, 33325 map to this service-area page.
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.
Sunrise sits in Broward County. County-level resources (crisis lines, hospital ERs, IOP programs) are discussed during Men's Testosterone Therapy when a higher level of care is safer than outpatient titration.
Internet TRT plus an SSRI plus alcohol, no reconciliation.
Book Men's Testosterone Therapy
After Men's Testosterone Therapy is scheduled, complete intake forms once. Repeating the same history at every visit is what we are trying to avoid.
If you already have records from another psychiatrist, NP, or therapist, send them before Men's Testosterone Therapy so the interview can start from data instead of from a blank page.

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.
