The expert physicians at Prime Hormone Solutions specialize in male hormones and prescribing effective testosterone replacement tailored to your unique physiology and needs.
The symptoms and signs above can indicate low T, but accurate blood analysis is needed to confirm this. Our clinic provides comprehensive testosterone testing that includes:

However, some men can still have low or inadequate levels in the "normal" range causing bothersome symptoms described earlier.
Only 1-2% of your circulating testosterone is "free" and bioavailable to your cells. Even with normal total T levels, the free portion can be insufficient. We provide both total and free testosterone assays.
If testing confirms low testosterone or inadequate free levels, our clinic has worked with thousands of men to safely increase levels utilizing bioidentical testosterone therapy protocols.
There are several options for efficiently restoring testosterone including:
Our clinic will evaluate your lifestyle, needs and preferences to determine the optimal route for you. We offer all these modalities to suit your individual physiology.
Follow-up blood testing is performed 6 weeks after initiating therapy to measure your response and adjust dosing accordingly. Our clinicians carefully monitor your symptoms, side effects and labs to achieve ideal, balanced hormone levels.
Most men notice benefits in energy, mood, sexual function and body composition within 6-8 weeks on the protocol. Ongoing lab testing further refines and confirms you are receiving the proper testosterone dose over months and years on treatment.
Prime Hormone Solutions meticulously manages potential side effects like elevated hematocrit or estradiol rises. We may recommend more frequent blood donations or subtle medication adjustments to avoid adverse issues from developing on your customized regimen.
Our patients love the enhanced vibrancy they experience by properly addressing low testosterone! We look forward to helping you optimize and balance your hormones for better health and wellbeing.
