HELP!! Need NYC/NJ Dr. with experience

[jersey juice]

Guys I got a problem, I've been off now for 5 1/2 months and my test levels are at 195. My physician wants to send me to a urologist (sp) and as you all know how conventional docs deal with these kinds of problems. First off I'm 25 so this is a major problem and the depression that comes & goes is making me & everyone around me nuts. Do any of you guys have a doc in this area of North/Central Jersey or NYC who is good with these types of problems? I live in N. Jersey but I'll drive an hour if I have to. Shoot me a PM if you can help recommend someone with experience or who's helped any of you, I really appreciate it bros!!

Find an endocronologist with knowledge of hormone replacement therapy. Don't be afraid to interview more than one doctor. Dr. Scruggs at NEW HOPE MED in california will be able to help as well but will be more expensive then finding one locally.

JJ,

Primary doctors will defer to the opinion of a specialist such as a urologist before allowing a patient to go on testosterone replacement therapy. There are several reasons for this, among which is an issue of liability/malpractice. There's nothing wrong with being referred to a specialist. In fact, that's a good move on your doctor's part.

Rickson is correct--interview your doctors. Also, take part in finding a cure for what's ailing you. In other words, suggest HRT (H. replace't. thrpy) to your doctor as an option. Discuss it with him/her.

If you find a doctor who makes you uncomfortable, or who doesn't consider several options to your problem, then find another. Just make sure YOU are aware that the problem might have other solutions besides HRT. For example, if you're already a muscular guy, many docs might be hesitant to start you on injectible testosterone; they might suggest Androgel.

There have been low profile debates on whether a person who has low test levels due to steroid use should be prescribed injectible testosterone. I have not followed these debates. If you search the web, you might find some more information.

Let us know how it goes...Best of luck.

It seems like there are alot of these HRT posts today. I'm curious why these guys would have low test levels so young, like at 25? Is it from doing too many cycles or staying on gear for long periods of time? Or is it that these guys had a natural disposition toward low test. and the gear just spead the process up? (Kinda like hair loss)

If I can't post this just delete it but...in NYC I recommend:

Mount Sinai Medical Center
1176 5th Ave, New York, NY 10029-6503
(212) 241-5995

I rather not send you to an actual doctor although I do know of a few. As posted earlier interview as many doctors as it takes for you to find one you are comfortable with and you can trust.

Edit: Ask for Endocrinology and Metabolism
