Dr. Knighton’s Approach
Dr. Knighton’s Approach
The most effective way to treat men with testosterone is by injection (generally weekly). Pellets and creams are a good “idea”, but when it comes to males, they struggle to keep their levels consistent with those modalities. In a perfect world, we would all know what our testosterone levels were on our best days in our 20’s to use as a reference when we get older. Since it is not common to have hormones checked until they become an issue, Dr. Knighton will use lab results to aid in your treatment, but keep in mind “normal” is different for everyone. He will seek to help each of his patients feel better as the patient and patient symptoms are the best indicator/gauge he can use.
