How Dr. Dorothy Chatelier, DNP, FNP-BC, PMHNP-BC practices Functional Psychiatry & Lab Testing
Controlled-substance prescribing, when used in Functional Psychiatry & Lab Testing, follows Florida PDMP review and a monitoring plan. Stimulants and benzodiazepines are never started from a portal message alone.
Isabel Cartilla coordinates intake paperwork and lab logistics so the 60–90 minute Functional Psychiatry & Lab Testing visit is spent on the clinical interview rather than on form-filling.
The practice does not publish fabricated star ratings. Patient stories on this site are process descriptions, not purchased testimonials.

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.
