no. the basic physical vince mentioned can be done anywhere. i went to a cvs minute clinic type of place for mine as it would have felt a little weird to have my previous trt dr give me a physical and fill out defy's form.Do they need to be in contact with your regular doctor, or do you need to obtain something from your regular doctor to send to them?
Defy requires that you obtain a basic physical from your regular Dr, or any Dr or Nurse for that matter, as part of the application process. After that it's labs, a periodic update of that in person physical, too.
Traveling for visits isn't cheap, remember airfare, hotels, transportation, etc etc
Dr Saya consult $175
physical at walk in clinic $100
labs at labcorp $155
R/X called into my pharmacy $25 every time
I had my physical, and blood work. I'm waiting for results to come back and then I'll have the consultation with a nurse, Dr. Saya, or Dr. Crisler
There's only a few drops of T Cyp left in the vial, I've been trying to stretch what little I have left in the vial
