Switching to Our Clinic

Transferring your TRT care to our clinic is a straightforward process:

• • Initial consultation: Schedule a consultation where we'll review your current protocol, symptoms, and goals
• • Medical records: Provide your most recent lab work and medical records (or we can request these with your permission)
• • Assessment: We'll evaluate your current protocol and suggest optimizations if needed
• • Prescription transfer: We'll ensure a seamless transition with no gap in your treatment

We respect that you've already been on TRT and won't force protocol changes unless there are clear optimization opportunities or safety concerns. Our goal is to provide enhanced care while maintaining what's working for you.

Many patients come to us because they're not getting optimal results from their current protocol. Common issues we address include:

• • Suboptimal dosing (either too high or too low)
• • Infrequent injections leading to hormone fluctuations
• • Lack of attention to estrogen management
• • Inadequate monitoring of important health markers
• • One-size-fits-all approaches that don't account for individual differences
• • Protocols that focus only on testosterone while ignoring other hormones

During your consultation, we'll discuss your current symptoms, review your lab work, and identify specific areas for improvement. Our goal is to help you feel your best, which often requires a more nuanced approach than many clinics provide.

Our approach differs from many TRT providers in several key ways:

• • Comprehensive testing: We evaluate a broader range of hormones and health markers
• • Personalized protocols: We tailor every aspect of treatment to your specific needs
• • Frequency optimization: We typically recommend more frequent dosing for stable levels
• • Holistic approach: We address nutrition, sleep, stress, and exercise alongside hormones
• • Advanced monitoring: We track more markers and adjust more frequently when needed
• • Education focus: We ensure you understand every aspect of your treatment
• • Accessibility: Our providers are more accessible for questions between appointments

Many of our patients who transfer from other clinics report significant improvements in their symptoms and overall well-being, even on similar testosterone doses, due to our more optimized and comprehensive approach.

Our approach to continuing your current protocol depends on several factors:

• • If your current protocol is working well: We'll generally maintain what's working while perhaps suggesting minor optimizations
• • If you're experiencing issues: We'll recommend evidence-based adjustments to address your specific concerns
• • If your protocol includes medications we don't typically prescribe: We'll discuss alternatives that align with our clinical approach
• • If your protocol lacks important components: We may suggest additions to improve your results and safety

We always explain the rationale behind any recommended changes and implement them gradually when possible. Our goal is to optimize your protocol while respecting your experience and preferences.

For patients transferring their care to our clinic:

• Initial consultation: We offer a comprehensive transfer consultation at $XXX
• Insurance coverage: We can provide superbills for potential insurance reimbursement, though we don't bill insurance directly
• Lab work: We can order labs through your insurance or provide cash-pay options that are often more comprehensive than insurance-covered panels
• Medication costs: We work with several pharmacies to find the most cost-effective options for your prescriptions
• Ongoing care: Our membership model includes all follow-up consultations, prescription management, and provider access

We're transparent about all costs and will provide a clear breakdown during your consultation so you can make an informed decision about transferring your care.

If you encounter difficulties obtaining your medical records from a previous provider:

• We can still proceed: While previous records are helpful, they're not absolutely necessary
• New baseline testing: We'll conduct comprehensive testing to establish your current status
• Patient history: Your detailed account of your treatment history provides valuable information
• Medical records request: We can provide a formal medical records request that providers are legally obligated to honor in most cases
• Documentation assistance: We can help you document your request attempts if you encounter resistance

Many patients come to us with limited or no records from previous providers, and we're experienced in establishing care in these situations. Your care will not be compromised.

The timeline for transferring your care to our clinic typically follows this schedule:

• Initial consultation: Usually available within 1-2 weeks of contacting us
• Lab work: Can be completed before or after your consultation
• Protocol development: Completed within 1-3 days after consultation and lab review
• Prescription transfer: Processed within 24-48 hours of protocol finalization

For patients with urgent needs (e.g., running out of medication), we can expedite the process. From first contact to having your new prescriptions in hand typically takes 2-3 weeks, though we can often accommodate faster timelines when necessary.

If you're currently self-administering TRT without medical supervision:

• No judgment approach: We understand that many men turn to self-administration due to frustration with conventional medical options
• Honest disclosure: We encourage complete transparency about your current protocol for your safety
• Comprehensive evaluation: We'll conduct thorough testing to assess your current hormonal status and health
• Transition plan: We'll develop a medically supervised protocol that addresses your needs
• Education: We'll provide information on proper administration, monitoring, and safety

Our goal is to provide a safe, legal, and effective alternative to self-administration, with the benefits of medical expertise, quality medications, and regular monitoring. Many of our patients have successfully transitioned from self-administered to properly supervised TRT with excellent results.
