Start with answers before deciding on treatment.
Diagnosis before treatment
Low energy. Lower sex drive. Changes in erections. Less strength. More body fat. Feeling like you simply are not yourself.
These can happen with low testosterone. They can also happen because of poor sleep, obesity, diabetes, thyroid problems, medications, stress, depression, and other health conditions.
That is why WellForm does not start with a testosterone prescription. We start by finding out what is actually going on.
Your first step combines laboratory testing with a physician review so your symptoms and testosterone levels are evaluated together.
Notice a change?
You may want to consider an evaluation if you have noticed changes such as these. Symptoms alone do not diagnose low testosterone. A proper diagnosis requires symptoms that fit the condition together with appropriately measured, consistently low testosterone levels.
Bring it with you. One low result may not be enough. Repeat morning testing or additional evaluation may still be needed.
Comprehensive Quest testing
The evaluation should answer more than “Is my testosterone low?” It should help explain why it may be low and whether testosterone is really the right treatment.
CBC and PSA help establish important treatment baselines. Testosterone can increase red blood cell production, and prostate health belongs in the safety discussion.
CMP and TSH add context because kidney, liver, blood-sugar, and thyroid issues can affect symptoms or the treatment decision.
Complete the requested testing in the morning. Repeat morning testosterone testing or other evaluation may still be needed before treatment.
A clear care journey
The process separates evaluation from treatment. You do not have to commit to TRT simply because you completed the first step.
Discuss energy, sex drive, erections, strength, body composition, mood, sleep, medications, fertility plans, and goals.
Complete the requested Quest panel. Testosterone testing may be repeated when needed.
Dr. Oben interprets your numbers together with your symptoms and health history.
Understand candidacy, possible benefits, risks, options, cost, and monitoring before you decide.
If treatment begins, follow symptoms, laboratory measures, response, and side effects over time.
Appropriate treatment, realistic expectations
Testosterone replacement therapy gives testosterone to men whose bodies are not making enough and who have symptoms that may improve with treatment. For appropriately selected men with confirmed testosterone deficiency, treatment may improve low sexual desire and other testosterone-deficiency symptoms. Response varies from person to person.
Our goal is not to make your testosterone number as high as possible. Our goal is to treat a real medical problem when treatment is appropriate.
Transparent program pricing
The diagnostic first step and treatment program are intentionally separate. Understand your results before deciding whether to begin TRT.
Stage 1
$175
This fee does not guarantee treatment.
Stage 2
$200/month
The $200 monthly program includes medication management. The published program does not establish that the testosterone medication itself is included. Before starting, we will explain the treatment option, why it is being considered, how it is used, and whether there is a separate medication cost.
Evaluate first → decide → treat only if appropriate.
Local program advantages
Many testosterone programs focus almost entirely on one number. Our local program gives you a broader way to follow what is happening over time, alongside physician care and laboratory monitoring.
Measure the trend
The scale cannot tell you whether changes are coming from fat, muscle, or other body compartments. Monthly InBody measurement helps track skeletal-muscle mass, body-fat mass, body-fat percentage, and overall body-composition trends. These are estimates and do not prove that testosterone caused a particular change.

Included each month
Local testosterone program participants receive a monthly Ballancer Pro lymphatic-drainage session as part of the in-clinic program. This wellness service does not guarantee fat loss, muscle gain, or another specific result.
A local clinic touchpoint
Your local program also includes a monthly UltraSlim red-light session. It is part of the WellForm clinic experience and does not guarantee a body-composition result.
Physician-led testosterone care
Testosterone treatment should be more than ordering a lab and choosing a dose. At WellForm MD, your evaluation and treatment plan are led by Patrick Oben, MD. Your symptoms, laboratory findings, health history, medications, sleep, metabolic health, fertility plans, prostate considerations, blood count, cardiovascular history, and goals all belong in the decision.
A consultation and payment do not guarantee a prescription. The exact treatment option and dose are individualized after evaluation.
Meet Patrick Oben, MDFollow-up is part of treatment
Starting testosterone is not the end of medical care. It is the beginning of follow-up.
Monitoring helps pursue the benefit you are looking for without ignoring safety. If testosterone reaches an appropriate level but the symptoms that brought you to treatment do not improve, the plan should be reconsidered.
More testosterone is not automatically better.

Fertility can change the decision
If you are trying to have children—or think you may want children in the near future—tell Dr. Oben before beginning testosterone.
Testosterone taken from outside the body can reduce the signals needed for sperm production. Sperm count can fall significantly, and in some men sperm production can temporarily stop.
Fertility often improves after testosterone is discontinued, but recovery can take time and varies from person to person.
Do not wait until after starting TRT to bring it up.

Sperm production
External testosterone can lower internal signaling, so sperm production may decrease.
Responsible care requires screening
Testosterone therapy is not appropriate for everyone. Your medical evaluation should review conditions that may change or prevent treatment, including certain:
This is why WellForm evaluates candidacy before treatment instead of treating a testosterone number by itself.
