I'll be the black sheep and let you know that his templated approach works for most aging men, but if you have an actual non-age related decline in testosterone, he will just screw you up further.
Be wary of his legion of fans. He is not a wizard. He started his business and research only a few years ago. His appearance on messageboards (of which, he has been kicked off of 4 for his ego) and willingness to prescribe T in situations where conventional doctors would not made him a "god among men" to a flock of message board sheep.
He's decent, but only if you have a standard case of age-related testosterone decline. He can cure you about as well as a GP can hure a headache with aspirin.
He's going to give you Androgel or injectible testosterone (5g-10g/60-200mg/week, respectively.) When that fails, he throws in HCG at 250-500iu, twice per week on the two days before your injection. When that raises your E2, he gives you Arimidex at .25mg every three days (or less.) When that fails, he prescribes pregnenelone at 25-50mg per dose. That's it. Maybe he'll sell you some hair loss shampoo, Viagra, or sublingual testosterone troches while he's at it -- but that'll be at least 5 months into treatment.
- Expect his prescriptions to always have a refill of 0 listed. This is very, very unethical when done for the sole purpose of charging continuous VoV fees.
- You don't get a real prescription from Dr. Crisler. He fills the prescription for you at this partner pharmacy. This is about as unethical as it gets, if not illegal. You can't bring his reccomendation to your local pharmacy to fill! He makes more money this way.
- He will never deal with insurance.
- He will not forward you a copy of your lab results. You will need to ask for one every time, and he will charge you by the page for a fax.
- If you ask him for the percentages of sprironolactone/ketocanozole in his hair loss shampoo, he will tell you that it is proprietary information. The label includes no information about the levels of active ingredients. For a prescription product, this is outright illegal, as well as unethical.
- Once treated with Dr. John, you are not allowed, under any circumstances to post any details of your treatment online, especially on the messageboards he trolls.
You can find this policy posted right on his own messageboard.
For some men, however, this is fine. They get the T they want, and Crisler is the only supplier. It does work out for some people.
