Questions we hear about Men's Testosterone Therapy
Bioidentical?
Marketing word. Monitoring still applies.
Heart risk?
We discuss it. We do not advertise TRT as cardio candy.
How close is the office?
0 minutes from Hollywood.
Bone density?
We refer when indicated.
Can I stay on my mill protocol?
Only if it is safe. Many are not.
Will TRT fix depression?
Only if hypogonadism is a real contributor. Many men need depression treatment with normal T.
Next step
If Men's Testosterone Therapy is the right next step, schedule a 60–90 minute intake with Dr. Dorothy Chatelier, DNP, FNP-BC, PMHNP-BC. Same-week telehealth follow-ups are used after the diagnostic visit when clinically appropriate.
After Men's Testosterone Therapy is scheduled, complete intake forms once. Repeating the same history at every visit is what we are trying to avoid.
