How To Find a New Dr.

I met a doc after having searched for one for long long time. After a few checks he informed I would have late hypo. Nothing special to find out. As per him the best treatmend is to take Andriol!

Previously one put me on Testoviron for several weeks. So I commented Andriol would not have any effect, which today I can confirm.

Can you tell me a web site to find a doc in Asia or if not available in Europe? If one is known to you you also may indicate his details please!

Thank you for your hlep!
 
Go to this site and send Nick O'Hara Smith an Email asking him this question. I am sure he may know someone. His link is on the left side.

Thanks, Bruce.

Dr Swale:

I've spoken to my Family doctor (Who diagnosed me with hypogonadism) about HCG for my atrophying testes. She said "no, not safe" she refered me to a urologist who said the same thing. The urologist said the longest he would prescribe HCG would be 6 months. The long term effects they say are not known / proven. Can you provide anything that I can take back to them to maybe change their minds? I researched hypogonadism and shared the AACE guidelines with my Family Med doctor and she told me that this was excellent stuff. Told me she would incorporate it in the future.

So I guess I'm saying she is not closed minded. But I am concerned about HCG use. The atrophy biz makes me feel a bit like I'm going through puberty in reverse. I'm not interested in fertility. (Age 47, 2 kids, wife in menopause) so its really just a cosmetic thing. Androgel works great for me so I'm not interested in messing that up either. Right now the only thing being offered is testicular implants. Which I've wrapped my mind around but still....

Anyhow, thanks for anything you can provide that might help.

SWALE is not here anymore but maybe this link will help and you need to tell them your not doing 2500 IU's your talking about doing a low 250 IU's dose the 2 days before your next shot if your on shots or every 3rd day on gels.

I need a new GP, its hard to find a good GP it seems, they all try and give you minimal quality service to make you come back again or if there busy they brush you off, so they can make more money wich is a joke.
My GP wont run requested tests for example DHEA and ACTH saying its an endocrinologists job and then he starts making excuses saying I would need to go to the head patholigist office and crap, if this is how far he goes to try protect himself from a lawsuit then hes beyond neurotic.

Even asking for a standard blood test he askes me to come back tommorow so he can do it, or when I asked for a copy of the letter from my urologist visit he said he would photocopy them tommorow, ffs all he had to do was get his secretary to photocopy it.

I be polite and he makes excuses, I get huffy and he stands up and starts leading me to leave the room. :mad:
I pay doctors for a service, fair enough they have ethics, and special secret medical board and insurance rules they need to abide by but its getting beyond the joke.

I cant wait to see my oncologist's reaction when I tell him I got rid of my GP and Urologist, hes gonna think hes next.


I dont know how to go about it, I am thinking of just rocking upto like 5 doctors in 1 day asking them all for an ACTH test, and telling them about my heartburn wich has progressed to dull chest pain. Then just going backto the one who seemed most intelligent and the least hung up on medical ethics.

Anyone got any other ideas?
btw I have an anti aging doctor, I need a regular GP who I can see without an apointment thats all, and who will do his job.

What state do you live in or do you live in the US. Still the best thing you can do it get one of your Dr.'s to let Dr. John treat you over the phone he dose this all over the world.

I sympathize with you. I've had to put up with the same bullshit.
 
It's difficult to see any doctor without an appointment. This kind of service is usually limited to an urgent care center or emergency room. If you have an antiaging doc and want an adrenal test, why aren't you getting the test ordered from that physican.

The following group will set you up for the testing and consult with the referring physican on the results.

I have used them for a comprehensive estrogen evaluation.

I live in Australia.

My anti-aging doctor is by apointment, just as busy as a specialist, so usually a 1 month wait.
 
Can anybody recommend a good Doctor between Santa Barbara and Santa Monica. I live in Santa Barbara but would be willing to drive to Los Angeles to deal with a highly recommend Doc.
 
Anybody recommend a good doc for HRT in San francisco Bay area?
I have hashimotos, along, with adrenal fatigue, low Test. levels, so I need someone
knowledgeable in all areas. A Doctor Joel Lopez's name keeps popping up on the different lists, but he is a M.D. and N.P. who uses Bio-identical hormones along with herbal remedies. For example he says he will use Arimidex and HC , but prefers naturals herbal support first. Plus, uses HCG but alone and not with TRT. No insurance, but takes credit cards. But i'm most impressed by Marianco, who is a couple hours away, but is a little more expensive, plus cash or check only :( Any suggestions?

Hello
I am new to this board. I live in the Charlotte NC area, I am 45 and just got a shocking lab test back. My serum testosterone is real low, 122. My family doctor said "yeah, its real low". He has no idea how to deal with it, other than giving me a referral. Before I keep paying for many visits to find the right Doctor, I am hoping someone knows of a well versed Physician in my area or online. Any help would really appreciated.

Thanks

If you don't mind driving a couple of hours, try Livingwell Integrative Healthcare in Easley SC. You can find it on Google. It's just down I-85 from Charlotte. Dr Caldwell is a life-extension guy, specializing in bio-identical hormones. He added HCG and Arimidex to my Androgel without hesitation, after my GP told me she could lose her license by prescribing either of those. He's not cheap (I think it was $50 per 15 minutes) and he doesn't take insurance (although you can file yourself) but I got a full hour of his time, and he actually listened. I'm still working out dosages, but gradually feeling better.
 
Dr. Problems - lack of knowledge & understanding

Can I suggest that you e-mail this guy:

michaelb@lawleypharm.com.au

He is a pharmacist who, for the last, 12 years has worked on the formulation and development of testosterone creams.

He has research documents (a bit technical) he can send you, and also some easy to read docs as well, with tons of useful info, can answer almost any questions you may have and is really easy to talk to.

Give him a try - what you gotta lose?
