Questions we hear about Men's Testosterone Therapy

Will TRT fix depression?

Only if hypogonadism is a real contributor. Many men need depression treatment with normal T.

What about clots and hematocrit?

We monitor hematocrit. High counts need action, not another dose.

How close is the office?

24 minutes from Weston.

Can I stay on my mill protocol?

Only if it is safe. Many are not.

Are you a urologist?

No. PMHNP-BC with hormone-informed psychiatry. We refer when urology is needed.

Bioidentical?

Marketing word. Monitoring still applies.

Do you offer discreet telehealth for Weston patients?

Yes. Many Weston patients prefer our secure HIPAA-compliant telehealth option for appointments from the privacy of their home or office.

Can you help with executive performance and focus issues?

Absolutely. We specialize in ADHD evaluations, cognitive performance optimization, and medication management for adults who need to perform at a high level.

How Weston patients actually get here

Parking at 7603 Davie Road Extension is on site. Weston patients who drive 24 minutes should plan for weekday 9:00–17:00 hours; Saturday is by appointment only.

Commute noise on I-95 and the Turnpike changes whether an in-office Men's Testosterone Therapy visit is realistic this week. Telehealth is used when the clinical exam does not require the office.

Coordinate with urology when prostate questions exceed scope.

Screen OSA.

Next step

Start with one thorough Men's Testosterone Therapy evaluation rather than a series of 15-minute check-ins. Book at (888) 307-2199 or online.

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.

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.
