My Patients

I have many patients currently on testosterone replacement treatment in my concierge medicine practice in Nashville. Their outcomes vary, with a wide range of clinical responses. Some experience dramatic improvements in vitality, while others see only modest improvement in vitality. In my experience, most patients continue therapy long-term, though treatment duration is based upon individual goals, benefits, and risks.

For me to prescribe testosterone for you, you must have symptoms, and you must obtain a blood test for testosterone levels.

I have taken Dr. Morgentaler’s course at Harvard Medical School CME in the past, and I will continue taking it in the future.

Treatment Options

Testosterone replacement treatment is done in the context of treatment of chronic illnesses (within the scope of my concierge medicine practice) which you choose to have treated. I do more than testosterone replacement treatment. I am a classic internist and can treat you for years.

I choose testosterone which, in my opinion, is most effective, and least expensive. The cost for me to prescribe testosterone is included in the standard visit fee. Your fee at the pharmacy will vary depending on the pharmacy and your insurance plan in Nashville.

There are now many choices for testosterone replacement treatment, and in my concierge medicine practice in Nashville, I prescribe subcutaneous testosterone cypionate.

Testosterone for Women

In off label, current thought leaders advocate for very low-dose testosterone replacement in menopausal women with diminished libido. Testosterone is a human hormone. In Nashville, in my concierge medicine practice, I have menopausal women with low libido who are responding to low dose testosterone.

Paradigm Shifts in Testosterone

In 1966, Charles Huggins, MD won the Nobel Prize in Medicine for his discovery that prostate cancer is hormonally dependent, with removal of the testes causing dramatic regression in metastatic prostate cancer. This changed the medical view of testosterone from a mainstay of male vitality to a potential driver of metastatic prostate cancer. Huggins’s work remains a foundation in androgen deprivation in advanced metastatic cancer.

During the period from 1990 to 2010, Abraham Morgentaler, MD, Harvard Medical School, did key studies which reframed testosterone replacement as potentially safe, including for men with treated prostate cancer. Morgentaler’s work led to more open prescribing after testosterone was removed as a potent risk factor of prostatic cancer in all men.

In 1997, the FDA relaxed rules for direct-to-consumer pharmaceutical advertising, opening the door for mass-media drug marketing in the US. From 2000-2010, TV, print, and online ads began to promote “Low T.” Low T has become the foundation of focused low T clinics.

The American College of Physicians recognized that symptomatic low testosterone, documented by laboratories, is an indication for testosterone replacement treatment. The American College of Physicians state that the testosterone replacement treatment should not be given in asymptomatic aging men.
