Questions we hear about Men's Testosterone Therapy
Telehealth?
Lab review and counseling if you are in Florida. Not a mail-order steroid service.
Are you a urologist?
No. PMHNP-BC with hormone-informed psychiatry. We refer when urology is needed.
What about clots and hematocrit?
We monitor hematocrit. High counts need action, not another dose.
Affordable testosterone URL?
Retained slug. Not a mill coupon.
Can TRT hurt fertility?
Yes. Exogenous testosterone can suppress sperm production. Tell us if you want children.
How close is the office?
28 minutes from Lauderdale-by-the-Sea.
Are psychiatric services available near Lauderdale-by-the-Sea?
While we're not located in Lauderdale-by-the-Sea, our Hollywood office is about 25 minutes away, and our telehealth platform makes follow-up care extremely convenient for coastal residents.
Do you address seasonal mood changes?
Yes. Seasonal affective patterns, including reverse SAD (summer-related), are recognized in our evaluations. Florida's unique climate patterns can affect mood differently than northern states.
In-office versus Florida telehealth

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.
