Based on your treatment plan, it may require a confirmatory test. This additional testing ensures your safety and adherence to medical guidelines. Order your confirmatory test at checkout!
We ask for a second set of tests before prescribing testosterone for two main reasons:
-
Compliance with American Urological Association Guidelines
- A second consecutive test confirms low testosterone levels, ensuring your initial test was accurate and clinically significant.
-
Assessment of Potential Health Risks
- Before starting Testosterone Replacement Therapy (TRT), we check additional biomarkers like PSA (Prostate-Specific Antigen), prolactin, and hematocrit. These tests help identify any health conditions that might increase your risk. If results are abnormal, further follow-ups may be required.
Our Commitment to Quality Care
At Hone, it’s important to us that our clients receive the highest quality of care.

By adhering to these protocols, we can provide you with the most effective and safe treatment plan tailored to your needs.
