question from a user
Can you treat a New York based patient? How would you do the blood work and how often? How much would that cost?
AlphaMD's Answer
We are happy to work with New York patients!
New York is a very weird state when it comes to lab testing, they have a lot of odd laws about it. We likely will have to work with a local lab, but it really depends, either way we're happy to do it.
If you're not a TRT patient, it is generally just included in your initial consultation. The provider overseeing your care will want labs initially to see how you respond to treatment. From there, follow-up labs may be needed to dial you in, but often times if the case is clear-cut and you're feeling great there's really not a reason to keep having you be poked. How you feel on treatment is the number one concern.
