Yes! We are a telemedicine clinic. All our visits are done virtually. This allows us to work around your schedule, providing both convenience and privacy.
No, we do not accept insurance, we are a cash-pay-only clinic. Our practice is not contracted with any insurance companies.
Many of our services are not covered by insurance or there are high copays or deductibles. By not accepting insurance we are able to keep our costs down and expand our services to everyone. For example, traditional lab values state testosterone is normal between 300-900. This is a huge range, and most men feel awful way before they go below 300. But typically, insurance will not cover testosterone replacement therapy unless a man has a level below 300. A similar situation occurs with some weight loss options.
Being a cash-pay clinic allows our provider to spend the necessary time with each patient. We will also respond to your calls or messages in a timely fashion. We know your time is valuable and treat you as such. Also, you will know your out-of-pocket expenses upfront and can plan accordingly with no surprise costs.
We currently accept all debit or credit cards and Zelle
The initial visit will consist of a thorough review of your goals of treatment, medical history, current medications, and any other pertinent factors when determining the best course of treatment for you.
Absolutely! There is a lot of misinformation about testosterone and testosterone replacement. There are many research studies showing its safety.
Does testosterone cause prostate cancer?
No. The metabolites of testosterone, dihydrotestosterone, and estrone, cause prostate enlargement. The expert in prostate cancer, Dr. Morgantaler from Harvard, has proven that low testosterone levels actually contribute to prostate cancer.
No. However, if a man has had prostate cancer that is completely removed surgically, and no longer has any prostate cancer cells, then it could be considered according to Dr. Morgantaler the expert in prostate cancer.
No. We do not treat men solely for athletics. Our goal is to replace testosterone in men with low levels to improve the symptoms of low testosterone that happen with aging. We strive to prevent age-related diseases.
This depends on how obese you are, when you start treatment, your diet, how much you exercise, and if you use weights while exercising. Typically, people should notice their belly fat diminish after the first year of treatment, but it could be sooner.
Will my testicles shrink while I take the testosterone?
Yes, to some extent. Testicles shrink normally with age, with lower testosterone production. As testosterone replacement therapy takes over the testicles won’t produce as much testosterone. This is not permanent, it is most commonly only a cosmetic concern.
Maybe. Most men find that they do not. Sometimes there may be an underlying cause of a patient’s ED such as a vascular disease. Leriche Syndrome also referred to as aortoiliac occlusive disease affects the blood vessels that supply the penis and may be the cause or even diabetes. If you have a history of vascular disease, you may benefit from seeing a vascular specialist. Many times, a patient’s blood pressure medication can be contributing to the problem. If so, switching to a medication that is least likely to cause ED would be beneficial.
Yes. Actually, many men end up weaning off anti-depressant medications which are actually causing low libido.
No. We evaluate your blood counts before starting therapy. Testosterone can raise your blood count and produce what is known as a “secondary erythrocytosis” which is not harmful. This is similar to the high blood counts of people living at high altitudes. In cases such as these, phlebotomy is not routinely recommended. However, having elevated hemoglobin or hematocrit at baseline may warrant a referral to hematology for diagnoses such as hemochromatosis or polycythemia vera. We would not recommend Testosterone therapy in those individuals unless hematology gives clearance.
