Clinical FAQ
Is binge-eating an eating disorder?
Binge-eating disorder is a DSM-5-TR diagnosis. We screen for it.
Telehealth?
Follow-up if you are in Florida. Exams as needed in Hollywood.
Do you prescribe GLP-1s?
When medically appropriate and after eating-disorder screening. Not as a cosmetic product.
Crisis / medical instability?
ER. Especially with restriction and electrolyte risk.
Supplements?
Only if evidence and safety support them. No mystery stacks.
Do you offer IV weight loss?
No.
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.
Parking, hours, and video visits
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.
ZIP 33313 is the lead postal code listed for Sunrise. Mail-order labs and pharmacy routing still use the patient's actual address, not this page's city token.
Set behavior metrics, not only pounds.
Refer out when the case is primarily endocrine or bariatric.
Book Wellness & Weight Management
If Wellness & Weight Management 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.
After Wellness & Weight Management is scheduled, complete intake forms once. Repeating the same history at every visit is what we are trying to avoid.
