How much does the first visit cost?
Your first visit is completely free. This includes a testosterone check done on-site with same-day results, a body composition scan, and a consultation with a board-certified physician. No charge, no commitment.
How long does the first visit take?
About fifteen minutes. Walk in, get your testosterone checked, do a body comp scan, sit down with the doctor. You'll have your results the same day.
Do you accept insurance for testosterone therapy?
Yes. We accept most major insurance plans including Blue Cross Blue Shield, Aetna, UnitedHealthcare, Cigna, Humana, and Medicare. Coverage depends on your plan and whether you meet the clinical criteria for testosterone therapy. We'll verify your benefits before your visit so there are no surprises.
What if my insurance doesn't cover testosterone therapy?
Our all-inclusive cash program is $199 per month. This covers your testosterone injections, doctor visits, full lab panels, and body composition scans. The price never increases and there are no hidden fees. We accept HSA and FSA cards, so most patients pay with pre-tax dollars — which effectively brings the monthly cost into the $130–$160 range depending on your tax bracket. Many of our patients prefer this option because it's simpler and avoids the delays and paperwork of insurance.
What's included in the $199 per month cash program?
Everything. Testosterone injections, doctor visits, full lab panels (total testosterone, free testosterone, estradiol, hematocrit, SHBG, metabolic markers), and body composition scans. There are no add-on fees, no medication billed separately, and the price never increases.
Who is the doctor?
Our clinic is led by a board-certified internal medicine physician who is fellowship-trained in functional medicine and hormone optimization. He also works as a physician, which gives him a unique perspective on how testosterone therapy affects the entire body, not just hormone levels.
How is this different from other testosterone clinics?
Most testosterone clinics check one number (total testosterone), hand you a standard dose, and send you home. We run a comprehensive panel including free testosterone, SHBG, estradiol, hematocrit, and metabolic markers. Our protocols are personalized to your labs, your symptoms, and your goals, and we monitor you consistently. Every treatment plan is built or personally reviewed and adjusted by Dr. Abdullah, our medical director, including visits handled by our nurse practitioner.
Can I switch from another testosterone clinic?
Absolutely. Many of our patients switched from other clinics. We make the transition easy. Book a free testosterone check and we'll take it from there.
Do I have to come in every week?
For optimal results and consistent monitoring, we recommend weekly in-clinic injections. Most visits take five minutes or less. We respect your time.
How quickly will I feel a difference on TRT?
Most men notice changes in energy, sleep quality, and morning function within 2–4 weeks. Body composition (muscle, fat distribution) and strength take 8–12 weeks. Full benefits typically emerge by month four, after the first dose calibration. If you don't feel changes by week six, that's a signal to adjust the protocol, not to wait longer.
Is TRT safe long-term?
When properly monitored, yes. The known risks, elevated hematocrit (red blood cell concentration), estrogen elevation, and prostate-related changes, are well-understood and managed through routine bloodwork. Our protocol checks the relevant markers every 6 weeks at first, then quarterly. The much greater risk for most men is leaving suboptimal levels untreated for years.
Will TRT affect my fertility?
Yes, exogenous testosterone suppresses natural production and reduces sperm count. If you're planning to have children in the next 1–3 years, we discuss alternatives like enclomiphene or hCG-paired protocols before starting. Tell us at your first visit. Fertility can be preserved with the right approach.
Injection vs. cream, which is right?
Injections (testosterone cypionate) are the most common and produce the most stable serum levels with the simplest dosing. Topicals are useful when injections aren't preferred or when starting low. We discuss both at your visit and choose what fits your schedule and life.
What if my testosterone is "normal" but I feel terrible?
"Normal" range is wide (often 250–950 ng/dL) and doesn't account for free testosterone, SHBG, or symptoms. Many men feel terrible at 350 ng/dL who feel themselves at 700. We treat people, not lab numbers, but we also don't prescribe TRT to men with normal levels and clear non-hormonal causes. The free visit sorts that out.
Semaglutide vs. tirzepatide, what's the difference?
Tirzepatide (Zepbound, Mounjaro) targets two receptors (GLP-1 and GIP) and tends to produce greater weight loss with similar tolerability. Semaglutide (Ozempic, Wegovy) targets GLP-1 only and has a longer track record. We start most patients on whichever is appropriate for their goals and budget.
Will I gain the weight back when I stop?
Most patients regain a portion if they stop without lifestyle infrastructure in place. The protocol pairs medication with strength training, protein-prioritized eating, and sleep optimization, so the loss is sustainable past the medication.
Can I take TRT and GLP-1 together?
Yes, they're complementary. TRT builds and preserves muscle while GLP-1 drives fat loss. Used together with proper monitoring, the body composition outcomes are better than either alone. We bundle this combo at $349/month.
Is ED always a hormone issue?
No. ED has four main drivers: vascular (blood flow), neurogenic (nerve signaling), hormonal (testosterone, prolactin, thyroid), and psychogenic (stress, performance anxiety). Most cases are mixed. The first step is figuring out which apply, then mapping treatment to cause, not symptom.
What is shockwave therapy and does it work?
Shockwave (or softwave) therapy uses focused acoustic energy to stimulate microvessel growth in penile tissue. Evidence supports meaningful improvement in mild-to-moderate vasculogenic ED. It's a 6-session series and works best as an adjunct to medication, not always a replacement.
Does insurance cover this?
Insurance can cover the office visit and diagnostic labs when clinical criteria are met. Most of our medications are sourced through a licensed compounding pharmacy and are not billed through insurance, our $199/month cash price covers the medication, monitoring, follow-ups, and physician time. We'll verify your specific benefits at your free visit.
Can I do this remotely / by telehealth?
Yes for follow-ups and most ongoing care. We require an in-person visit at intake when possible, Texas regulations and good medicine both support this. If you're far from Southlake, ask about our hybrid intake protocol.
How do I cancel if I don't like it?
Email or call. There's no annual contract. You stop being billed the next cycle. We'll provide records to your next provider on request.
Are you accepting new patients?
Yes. Same-week appointments are typically available. The free visit is the first step, we'll know if we're a fit by the end of those 15 minutes.
