Clinical FAQ
Can you send meds to my pharmacy?
Yes, a Florida pharmacy you designate.
What if Zoom fails?
We call you. If safety is in question, we use emergency pathways.
What if my kids are home in Sunrise?
We need a private room. Headphones help; a closed door is better. We will reschedule rather than take a corrupted history.
Is it encrypted?
Yes. Still avoid public Wi-Fi.
Will you see me in a parked car?
Only if it is private, stationary, and clinically appropriate. Driving is a no.
Who is on camera?
Dr. Dorothy Chatelier, DNP, FNP-BC, PMHNP-BC — not an anonymous coach.
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.
How Sunrise patients actually get here
Commute noise on I-95 and the Turnpike changes whether an in-office Telehealth Psychiatry visit is realistic this week. Telehealth is used when the clinical exam does not require the office.
Parking at 7603 Davie Road Extension is on site. Sunrise patients who drive 22 minutes should plan for weekday 9:00–17:00 hours; Saturday is by appointment only.
If video fails, call the number on file.

Labs, scales, and follow-up cadence
Same documentation time standards.
Minors: guardian presence rules.
End visit if another person is coaching answers off-camera in a way that corrupts history.
Emergency address confirmed (where EMS would go).
What we rule in — and rule out
Follow-up medication management for a known patient in Florida.
Not a replacement for psychotherapy groups or IOP.
Not indicated outside Florida.
Patients in Sunrise for whom 22 minutes plus parking is the barrier.
Next step
Start with one thorough Telehealth Psychiatry evaluation rather than a series of 15-minute check-ins. Book at (888) 307-2199 or online.
If Telehealth Psychiatry 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.

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.
