[QUOTE="pnwXLmale, post: 79928, member: 16254"] I just moved to the Portland area about a month ago and am seeing Dr. Straight from Full Potential Men's clinic in Tigard. Too early for me to recommend them and I am on the fence about whether I will be continuing there or switching to Defy Medical. Pros: - Dr. Straight is nice and takes his time with you - Dr's stated intention is to get my T levels to the top of range - Prescribed Test Cyp, HCG and Anastrozole Cons: - Cost is 250 for initial consult and then 200/mo. going forward - Dr seems rather aggressive with AI - initially prescribed me 2.5 mg/wk - Dr. seems a bit out of touch with current best practices (from what I have read at least) My current protocol from the Doctor is: - 180 mg Testosterone Cypionate (90 mg e3.5) (started with 300 mg 'Loading Dose' on first day of TRT lol) - 1.25 mg Anastrozole 24 hours post T injection - 1000 iu HCG weekly (500 iu e3.5, 24 hours prior to injection) I have been on since 7/18, so just over one month in. Before starting his protocol I did as much research as I could and modified my protocol to: - 50 mg Test eod (175/wk) - .5 mg Anastrozole eod (with T injection) - 250 iu HCG eod (along with T injection) With this protocol so far I have noticed good improvements in libido, morning wood, strength gains in gym and sporadically increased energy (esp @ gym). The reason I am considering switching to defy is a)seems that Dr. Saya is much more knowledgeable and current and b)from what I have read, Defy is more affordable. Here's [URL="https://www.excelmale.com/forum/showthread.php?11409-First-post-started-TRT-8-days-ago-questions-about-protocol-and-Primary-diagnosis"]my original post from a few weeks ago[/URL] with more detail about why I started TRT, initial labs, etc. Be sure to check out CoastWatchers comment about this doc being a T-mill - may make this an easy decision to go with Defy instead, unless you're in a hurry to get started and/or will be modifying protocol anyways (they will get you on in less than a week from 1st appointment, whereas Defy may take a month or more from what I have read).
