  1. what happens if I quit trt

    2 months isn't enough time for your body to adjust to the changes you've made, even if the meds you are taking are the appropriate protocol for you. When I 1st started on TRT with an anti-aging clinic I didn't feel better until 3+ months of treatment. I stopped TRT after about 6 months as I...

  2. My experience with Shippen & Crisler

    I'm glad you responded Dr. Crisler It's unfortunate that you can't acknowledge any flaws in your operation. I'm glad I moved on.

  3. My experience with Shippen & Crisler

    The thread is called "MY EXPERIENCE" not, this is what YOUR experience will be. When some others PM'd me with similar experiences it was apparent that there were others that had the same experience, thus the word "US" appeared. I don't care if others choose not to post their frustration...

  4. My experience with Shippen & Crisler

    Some other members have PM'd me with the same issues. It's great that suddenly a bunch of new members have just joined with no previous posts to support Dr. Crisler. Good for you!

  5. My experience with Shippen & Crisler

    Unfortunately there isn't a Consumer Reports issue on TRT Doctors. These 2 Doctors have generally been presented as demi-gods on the forums. I have a lot of respect for Shippen, I think of him as the person who kind of started this movement and his book is probably the only one that provides...

  6. My experience with Shippen & Crisler

    I did consider the Cenegenics program seriously as noted in my original post. Part of the problem for me was that none of their locations was particularly appealing from a location standpoint. I was recently in Vegas for business and had considered going to their main location, but had begun...

  7. My experience with Shippen & Crisler

    Shippen told me to make copies of the basic lab order he wanted me to get done every month. I was using Labcorp & insurance at the time, there was never a problem with it. Crisler would fax a script directly to the lab, there always seemed to be some issue with the tests. I believe it was...

  8. My experience with Shippen & Crisler

    I have several Doctors in the family, so I do have some understanding of billing practices. Since Crisler doesn't take insurance, he doesn't have a lot of the costs associated with collecting insurance reimbursement nor does he have to bill his time out at a rate negotiated by an insurance...

  9. My experience with Shippen & Crisler

    Monomer- I'm glad you're happy with Crisler. Most of the assumptions you make about me as a patient of Crislers are completely wrong however. I don't expect an hour of time for $60, I usually got between 4 to 7 minutes for $60 and have the cell phone bills to prove it. It's not the amount of...

  10. My experience with Shippen & Crisler

    Listening is probably the most important skill a Doctor can have in my opinion. Every experience I had with Crisler started with a monologue, from him and about him that would take 30-40% of my appointment, and then there wouldn't be enough time to address my questions or issues. Thank God he...

  11. My experience with Shippen & Crisler

    I've read tons of information, including medical textbooks on this subject and while it has been tempting to treat myself, I prefer to have a Doctor oversee my treatment and provide scripts for labs and meds. With the current steroid issues I wouldn't be comfortable trying to get meds on my own...

  12. My experience with Shippen & Crisler

    Since the previous thread about Cenegenics has some members recommending Dr. Shippen and Dr. Crisler, I'm throwing in my two cents about my experience with both of them, both have some serious issues with how they run their practices, and anyone considering seeing either of them should be aware...

  13. Looking for TRT Dr. Pittsburgh/Cleveland area

    Does anyone have a Doctor for TRT that they can recommend in the Pittsburgh/Cleveland or Columbus area? A Doctor in the Baltimore/Washington would also be an option. I'm considering a Cenegenics Doctor or going to their Vegas location. Thanks for any recommendations.

  14. How long does it take for Anastrozole to take effect?

    I have had outrageously high estrogen levels for the last year because of TRT and have finally been able to get my Dr. to prescribe Anastrozole, .5 mg EOD. How long does it generally take for it to start lowering estrogen? Thanks.
