Would my doctor recommend this?
Many conventional doctors are more accustomed to treating diseases or illness related symptoms. In the medical community, it is accepted to view certain symptoms such as decreased energy, low libido and diminishing physical attributes as acceptable changes with age. However, with new advances and extensive research, medical professionals are providing additional options to patients who want to regain a renewed sense of well being that was traditionally unavailable to them in the past. Dr. Gaines focuses his time and energy into providing this very service for his patients. He makes it a priority to work closely with his patients and monitor their progress. Additionally, Dr. Gaines would be pleased to design and discuss a therapy in collaboration with one's personal doctor.
*In general, hormone therapy may not be suitable for individuals who have certain underlying medical conditions and/or poor medical history.
