It is important to understand that medicine is an inexact science. Although we will carry out your treatment carefully, results can vary in their degree of success. It is quite natural for a patient undergoing Testosterone Replacement Therapy to want to know that everything will turn out all right. While most of the time this is the case, it is very important for you to be aware of the potential risks, as well as the benefits, expected from the treatment when deciding on whether to begin Testosterone Replacement Therapy. You should also be aware of the alternatives to testosterone replacement therapy, including not receiving the treatment.
It is important that you consider the information we have provided you. Be sure that you are doing what is right for you. If you are unsure, then perhaps you should take some time to weigh your options or consult another health care provider. Please review the following, which discusses informed consent. Any questions that you may have should be brought to our attention. Your clinical provider will attempt to answer all of your questions to your satisfaction.

Our Treatment Approach
Our comprehensive, standardized treatment protocol allows us to use the lowest effective dose to minimize side effects and maximize benefits of TRT for all patients while maintaining strict safety measures. Our general approach to all patients — and especially ones with a history of cardiovascular disease and/or advanced age — is to make sure they are first appropriate candidates for therapy, to make sure the patient understands all the risks and benefits involved in TRT, and to proceed with caution and adjust dosing as needed, depending on the individual risk factors.
No Other Testosterone Supplementation Agreement
I agree that, while a patient of Wright Health and Wellness, I will not take any type of anabolic steroids, testosterone gels, hormone “boosters,” pro-hormones, or any additional testosterone supplementation not provided by Wright Health and Wellness during my treatment plan.
Important: At any time, if use of these items is discovered, I understand I may be discharged as a patient of Wright Health and Wellness. Do not sign this form unless you have read it carefully and agree to all items within this consent form.
