Low testosterone, also known as low T or hypogonadism, is a condition where the body does not produce enough testosterone. Testosterone is the primary male sex hormone and plays a crucial role in vitality, energy, strength, muscle mass, bone density, mood, libido, and more.
Some common signs and symptoms of low T include:
If you experience multiple symptoms consistently, it may indicate an underlying testosterone deficiency requiring medical treatment.

By leveraging the latest medical research and technologies, our goal is to help patients restore their vitality, get back to thriving, and improve quality of life.
The first step is advanced testing to accurately diagnose testosterone deficiency.
We measure total testosterone and free testosterone blood levels, which indicate how much circulating hormone is available to cells and tissues. Results below normal ranges often signify hypogonadism requiring treatment.
In addition to lab testing, we thoroughly assess symptom severity using evidence-based questionnaires like ADAM (Androgen Deficiency in Aging Males) and AMS (Aging Males' Symptoms) scales. This helps gauge treatment effectiveness over time.
Other relevant lab tests check key health markers impacted by testosterone:
Understanding the full health picture allows properly tailored and safer testosterone therapy.
Once diagnosed, we offer flexible testosterone replacement tailored to each patient's physiology and lifestyle for optimal improvements.

Testosterone injections - The most effective TRT, testosterone shots are typically administered weekly. This allows for steady hormone levels. Injections include:
Testosterone gels - Topical gels supply testosterone through skin absorption daily. Brands include Androgel and Testim.
Testosterone pellets - Bio-identical hormone pellets implanted under the skin continually release testosterone over several months.
Oral testosterone capsules - Andriol testocaps provide systematic testosterone via oral intake.
We thoughtfully determine which option (or dual options) makes the most clinical sense based on medical history and test results.
