[QUOTE="John O'Connor, post: 37004, member: 13064"] I use a local doctor that doesn't know much about TRT, but luckily is willing to learn. But if that wasn't the case I'd consider lots of options. I think Prime Body has a branch in Philadelphia. And they often advertise 1st consult is free. I'd talk to both, get full costs, and even consider Defy. Or maybe you could switch to Defy later once you get comfortable injecting yourself. From what I understand Defy is more cost effective. Do you have good insurance? Ask each doctor what their standard protocol is. How often do they recommend injections (Weekly, biweekly, E3.5D)? How many of their patients use HCG, aromatase inhibitors, etc. Just hearing those answers will tell you a lot. Have you ever had LH & FSH checked to determine if you have primary or secondary hypogonadism. Compare their list of recommended tests to Nelson's recommendations too. [url]https://www.excelmale.com/forum/showthread.php?3488-Blood-Tests-Needed-Before-and-During-Testosterone-Replacement-Therapy&highlight=blood+nelson[/url] Its good to have baselines of everything (SHBG, Estradiol Sensitive, DHEA-S, etc.) so you can compare changes as you start TRT. With a name like "Action Men's Health" they sound like they would know what they are doing. But ask them for a full list of their recommended pre/post TRT blood work, and post it here for commentary. Good luck! [/QUOTE]
