    Clinics and docs

    New to this site. Tons of good info.
    Just starting to look for a HRT program and want to do it the right way. 40 years old now and body is feeling every day of it.
    I looked at some of the clinics but a little turned off by the sales tactics. Not sure they have my best interests.
    I live in Vegas and I would like some recommendations for a good local doctor.


    Thanks!

    although they are in it for themselves as well....if i had the money, i wouldnt start out trying to find a doctor in this current health care system....depending on your time and insurance....sometimes youre even better off with the clinic anyway

    What are you looking to do?
    And why do you want an HRT program?
    Answer those questions and you should get some good guidance.

    If you have insurance, stay with an endocrinologist. But then again, it all comes back to what you are looking for.

    Hard to say which is the better choice. The clinic will probably treat you more aggressively and may be easier to get stuff done...less hassle. You'd need to be able to exercise some judgement about how far you'd want to go with treatment options with the clinic approach...maybe just injectible test and hcg . I understand that the clinics will try to sell you a lot of stuff if they can. This assumes that you can afford to pay the clinic and the meds. as health insurance doesn't usually cover the clinic approach.

    An endocrinologist or urologist will likely be more conservative in treatment approach and getting to where you want to be will take longer. Heck, we have guys here being treated by specialists who still can't get hcg to go along with the test. they are already prescribed.

    Maybe someone in Las Vegas on the Forum will have a few doctor options for you.
