HELP!! HRT Doc or clinic in Northern VA area??

[shdowflare]

Thanks Lion.

I've found a few recommended doctors (thanks to some local compounding pharmacies). As for interviewing them, I was going to make sure they are committed to longevity and anti-aging for the long haul. However, have some other Q's:

1. Which medical societies should they be a part of?
2. When you say all-encompassing, I assume there are anti-aging doctors that aren't concerned about all aspects of my health? Is the bottom line that I want to be under the care of a doctor who takes his/her patients' entire well-being into consideration? Or is there actually a specific reason I want a doctor to be concerned with diet, exercise, etc.?
3. As for blood testing, is there anything I should be looking for? I don't know a whole lot about blood tests. Should I be looking for a doc that tests for certain types of test or other substances in my blood?

As always, I truly appreciate the help. Thanks.

Look for a compound pharm in your area .. maybe 2. Go to them and ask for the Drs that are submitting prescriptions to them for topical bio-identical test for men (100 mg p/w). These are your active anti-aging Drs.

Then investigate them. Which insurance carriers do they use? Which major hospital are they associated with? Which medical societies do they belong to? Is their HRT program for men all encompasing including diet, exercise and sleep? And what blood testing do they require?

I am 31 as well, and i think i could beneifit from HRT as well, I have my father and mother on it now, they are getting there HGH pins sent pre loaded amd its only running them about $250 a month, that with a test cream. They have been on about 12 months. Only taking 1.2 ius ed, what would you recomend for a 31 year old man. Also, once you get on, are you on for life?

I know this is an old thread, but was wondering if you did find someone who knew their stuff in NoVA.

Thanks,

I'm 31 and have been showing some tell tale signs of Andropause such as weight gain, depression, libido is south, irritabiltiy etc. After reading about Andropause and HRT on the web I picked a endocrinologist out of the book and went in to see her. She ran all the blood work and it turns out that I do have a low test level for my age.

My total test reading was 384

My Free test reading was 1.46

Thyroid, LDL, HDL and everything else was normal according to the doc.

Because of the huge test fluctuations in males from day to day, week to week etc. she sent me to have my test levels taken again and im currently waiting to get the results back.

If my test levels come back low again I do plan on seeking out some HRT. The problem is, I don't think this endo is very experienced with male HRT and from the research I've done on the net I can't seem to find any local docs or clinics in the Northern VA area that specialize in male HRT.

I have also been looking into the online clinics, however they all seem to be running some sort of scam and most will make you pay high prices to repeat all the blood work that ive already had done.

Can any of you bro's lend a helping hand or give me some sage advice?

I am also in the DMV area and was wondering if you ever found a solution? I am from the area and looking. If so, can I pm you please?
