Testosterone Replacement Therapy

Wanted to update everyone on a new therapy at the clinic, Testopel.  Testopel is a small pellet (about the size of a grain of rice) that will deliver a steady dose of testosterone, keeping you in normal range for 4-6 months.  The pellets are inserted beneath the skin during a simple and painless procedure that takes about 5-10 minutes.


Common symptoms of testosterone deficiency include:
  • Fatigue, low libido
  • Depression, Insomnia
  • Muscle weakness and pain
If you or a loved one are concerned about low testosterone levels, or looking for an alternative to applying a cream everyday, this simple procedure might be right for you.

Testopel is the only FDA approved long-acting testosterone pellet, and is covered by most insurance plans.  In addition, 93% of patients who try Testopel continue with the treatment.
