Testosterone Replacement Therapy for Men
At OptiGenics, we focus exclusively on hormone replacement therapy (HRT). Our approach to Testosterone Replacement Therapy (TRT) is what we call “Precision Medicine.” We believe that each of our patients deserves customized treatment. Each patient receives a comprehensive evaluation, an individually-tailored treatment regimen, and ongoing adjustment of that treatment to optimize its effect. We don’t use chemically altered hormones. Nor do we subscribe to those “one size fits all” hormonal imbalance programs followed by most physicians. Every patient is unique and each body responds differently, even to the same dosage. Our philosophy is that the path to the best hormonal health means balancing bioidentical hormone replacement and anti-oxidant therapy with proper nutrition and exercise.
Our focused approach to Testosterone Replacement is convenient, physiological, and unobtrusive:
We use no patches, shots or large globs of gel. Testosterone is delivered in a small amount of cream that is easily absorbed into one arm and once applied, leaves no trace.
We may use human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) if appropriate, to stimulate your testicles to produce your own testosterone again. If you are a candidate, this is a substitute for the testosterone cream.
We use no traditional intramuscular injections (shots). Our system therefore, causes few side effect symptoms like highs and lows just before and after scheduled injections.
We evaluate each individual patient exhaustively. Our assessment process, including blood tests, physical exams, and complete medical histories is much more comprehensive than simply relying on saliva tests or symptoms alone.
We make time to inform you about the risks and benefits of testosterone replacement, giving you detailed information relating to your particular medical/family history and lifestyle. During the initial consultation, our patients spend on average an hour of face-to-face time with their physician.
We monitor blood levels and symptoms continuously, to ensure that an optimal amount of hormones are being absorbed by your unique metabolism. We also work with you monthly to bi-monthly until your regimen is steady. Then we adjust doses as your needs change with age.
We replace all hormones showing weakened production due to age because in the long term, all are important to your health.
We monitor your complete, personal hormonal system, not just testosterone. We also consider and make HRT adjustments based on how hormones affect one another in your body. In addition, we periodically monitor how your doses of hormone are affecting your cholesterol, PSA, blood counts and blood sugar levels.
All hormones for your specific treatment are delivered monthly from MedQuest Pharmacy to your door.
