Questions we hear about IV Hydration & Injectables
Party IV at home?
We do not do that.
Who supervises?
Clinical staff under the practice's medical model.
Do IVs treat depression?
No as a standalone. Treat the diagnosis.
Telehealth IV?
Impossible. Do not trust anyone who says otherwise.
Heart or kidney disease?
Often a no. We screen.
B12 shots?
When deficient or malabsorbing.
Do you offer discreet telehealth for Weston patients?
Yes. Many Weston patients prefer our secure HIPAA-compliant telehealth option for appointments from the privacy of their home or office.
Can you help with executive performance and focus issues?
Absolutely. We specialize in ADHD evaluations, cognitive performance optimization, and medication management for adults who need to perform at a high level.
Parking, hours, and video visits
South Florida heat, hurricane disruption, shift work, and multigenerational households show up in Weston presentations. IV Hydration & Injectables intake asks about those stressors explicitly.
Commute noise on I-95 and the Turnpike changes whether an in-office IV Hydration & Injectables visit is realistic this week. Telehealth is used when the clinical exam does not require the office.

If the real need is psychiatric evaluation, book that.

Next step
If IV Hydration & Injectables 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.
If you already have records from another psychiatrist, NP, or therapist, send them before IV Hydration & Injectables 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.
