IN A PATIENT’S OWN WORDS...

No Energy & No Libido...

I was having difficulty sleeping, had no energy and a low libido. I knew something was off so I visited my primary care doctor who diagnosed me with low testosterone. However the treatment plan he and another specialist provided did not give me the results I wanted.

A friend then referred me to Doctor Werner. He had a great experience so I figured I would give it a try. I was expecting Doctor Werner to simply prescribe some medication but my initial visit turned out to be so much more! I met with a team of professionals who did a comprehensive evaluation of me.

Now, I feel great, I’ve lost body fat and my relationship with my wife has greatly improved. I couldn’t be happier!
