You should be cautious. "Normal" and "In Range" don't mean the same thing, but many doctors use the terms interchangeably. One can be in range on a lab test and feel miserable. For example, your lab has a lower limit for total testosterone of 348, that is in range. I can assure you that a patient with a reading of 349, in range, is going to be hypogonadal. This happens with all sorts of tests all the time.

Thyroid is is often under-tested. Doctors accept TSH as the beginning and the end of their workup. You need to capture T3, T4, rT3, and a thyroid antibody panel to tell the complete story. You should check your lab report and confirm those were run. He tested DHT and DHEA? If so, sharing those values, along with the thyroid results would generate a number of questions you can pose.
