GETTING STARTED
Upon receiving your Request for a Consultation visit, a member of our staff will contact you to obtain general contact information, as well as asking you a few screening questions to make sure that you are a candidate of testosterone replacement therapy. They will then instruct you on the following:
1) GETTING BASELINE LABS
we will mail you a lab form to take your your lab of choice. If you do not have insurance, we also are able to get you discounted lab fees through Discounted Labs (affiliated with Quest Labs).
the labs we require include: Total Testosterone, Free Testosterone, Estradiol, SHBG, LH, TSH, Free T4, Free T3, CBC, and PSA
PLEASE NOTE - Testosterone Labs may take anywhere between 1-3 wks to complete. Please ask your lab what to expect as far as their time frame.
2) COMPLETION OF ONLINE HRT CONSULTATION FORM AND GENERAL MEDICAL HISTORY FORM
Our office will provide you with access to our online Patient Portal to access these forms
Once Dr. Garcia has reviewed your lab results and the online forms, we will contact you to arrange a consultation visit with Dr. Manuel Garcia. Consultation visits are approximately 45 minutes long. Consultation visits can be billed to your insurance (if we participate with them)
During your Consultation, Dr Garcia will review your medical history with you, along with your current labs. He will also discuss the risks and benefits of both Testosterone Pellet Therapy, Testosterone Microdosing (Injections), SERMs, along with the costs of each therapy.
If after your Consultation Visit you wish to proceed with Testosterone Pellet Therapy, a separate visit will be arranged for the insertion of the pellets (approx 45min)
If after your Consultation Visit you wish to proceed with Testosterone Microdosing, Dr. Garcia will provide you with instructions on how to draw-up the testosterone and how to self-administer it. He will also have your testosterone to be shipped to your home.
If after your Consultation Visit you wish to proceed with Enclomiphene (SERMs), we will manage the monthly prescriptions for Enclomiphene to be shipped to your address
