Questions we hear about Men's Testosterone Therapy
What about clots and hematocrit?
We monitor hematocrit. High counts need action, not another dose.
Depression low T pages?
We evaluate both. We do not pick a favorite syndrome for SEO.
Sleep apnea?
We screen. Treating apnea can change T and mood without TRT.
Can TRT hurt fertility?
Yes. Exogenous testosterone can suppress sperm production. Tell us if you want children.
Heart risk?
We discuss it. We do not advertise TRT as cardio candy.
Do I need to stop the gym?
No. We need you to stop unsupervised anabolics.
Can I do all appointments via telehealth?
After an initial evaluation (which we recommend in-person for the most thorough assessment), most follow-up appointments can be conducted via our secure telehealth platform.
How do you ensure privacy?
All appointments and records are HIPAA-compliant. Telehealth sessions use encrypted video, and we never share patient information without explicit consent.

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.
