Telehealth medication management for Florida patients
You should be able to name the drug, the target symptom, the main risks, and the next lab date.
What Medication Management actually includes
Best-practice med management is boring: lists, labs, and dates.
Side-effect visits are diagnostic: we name the mechanism when we can.
Labs, scales, and follow-up cadence
New antidepressant: short-interval follow-up for activation and SI.
Alcohol withdrawal is not managed as an anxiety refill.
MAOI diet and washout rules if that class is ever used.
Lithium: level, TSH, creatinine, pregnancy test as indicated.
24-minute path to the Hollywood office
Commute noise on I-95 and the Turnpike changes whether an in-office Medication Management visit is realistic this week. Telehealth is used when the clinical exam does not require the office.
Weston sits in Broward County. County-level resources (crisis lines, hospital ERs, IOP programs) are discussed during Medication Management when a higher level of care is safer than outpatient titration.
Parking at 7603 Davie Road Extension is on site. Weston patients who drive 24 minutes should plan for weekday 9:00–17:00 hours; Saturday is by appointment only.
You were started on two changes at once, so nobody knows which drug caused the rash.
Questions we hear about Medication Management
What about pregnancy?
Tell us before a prescription is sent. Some agents need specialist coordination.
Will I get a refill without a visit?
Not as a routine. Monitoring interval is part of the prescription.
Can a PMHNP-BC prescribe psychiatric medication in Florida?
Yes. Dr. Chatelier is a board-certified psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner. Prescribing is within Florida APRN scope, with monitoring.
How often are visits?
Tighter after a start or change; wider when stable and labs are current.
Are leftover 'affordable refill' URLs a discount?
No. They are retained slugs. Billing follows insurance contracts.
Can I refuse a medication?
Always. Informed consent includes the option of no medication.
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.
Visit flow for Medication Management
Reconcile the current list, including OTC, cannabis, and hormones.
Set the next visit before the bottle runs out.
Decide: continue, adjust, switch, or taper — one primary change when possible.
No-show after a high-risk start triggers outreach.
Indications and differentials
Need for metabolic or neurologic monitoring on an existing antipsychotic or mood stabilizer.
antipsychotic monitoring still has to map to a problem on the list.
Not indicated to supply controlled substances without a supporting diagnosis and monitoring plan.
Bridge care after hospitalization until a stable outpatient cadence exists.
Book Medication Management
If you already have records from another psychiatrist, NP, or therapist, send them before Medication Management so the interview can start from data instead of from a blank page.
Start with one thorough Medication Management evaluation rather than a series of 15-minute check-ins. Book at (888) 307-2199 or online.

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.
