Re: Need Doctor Recommendation

[Guest guest]

Hi there, I am in a similar situation. I live in Austin and have a call in to

my fourth local doctor in a year. Was diagnosed low T at 28 (TT330) yrs old.

Now at 41, my TT is 261. Started Testim one tube 3 mos ago. When I didnt

respond well, my GP kind of just gave up on me, and confessed that he didnt

really know much about this area of medicine. I now have a call into Dr.

lin in Austin (clublongevity.com - they take most insurance), but based on

their slow response so far, Im not sure they will be the answer either. Let me

know if you have success with Dr Han.

PS - does anyone know if Mike Scalley is affiliated with any current practice in

Houston?

Has anybody here seen him as a patient? Is he supposed to be good? Does he

prescribe hcg?

Is this him in this link.

I am Secondary this Dr. says he treats hypogonadism but still call there ask how

many men does he treat for low T and if he tests for high Estradiol and if he

uses Arimidex to keep it down. Ask if he uses HCG to treat men that are

Secondary.

I need all the hormones the Pituitary controls Testosterone, Cotrisol, Thyroid,

Aldosterone, Renin and Growth Hormone. Do to them problems I have low Ferrin or

Iron levels and very high levels of Estradiol. Even Folic Acid levels are low

and when I tested them I was on Folic Acid. So all I am saying is there can be

a lot of thing wrong with your over and above Testosterone and you need a Dr. up

on this.

I don't know much about Dr. Scally other then Dr. and him don't like each

other. Last I hear Dr. Scally had his license revoked. Here is some info about

this in a cut and paste from this link.

http://www.tmb.state.tx.us/professionals/calendar/minutes/doc/2005/fullboardfeb0\

Any time one sees a new Dr. they need to check up on him.

====================================================

Agenda item #14, Proposal for Decision – C. Scally, M.D. Mark Martyn,

Staff Attorney, appeared representing the board. Dr. Scally appeared with

counsel, L. T. “Butch†Bradt. The Administrative Law Judge, C.

Egan, gave a report and recommendation to revoke the license of Dr. Scally and

to assess an administrative penalty in the amount of $190,000 and transcription

costs in the amount of $12,809.50. Mr. Martyn and Mr. Bradt made presentations.

Dr. Price moved, Ms. Blackwell seconded, and the motion passed to adopt the

Administrative Law Judge’s Proposal for Decision, including the Findings of

Fact and Conclusions of Law, as its own, and move that the medical license of

C. Scally, M.D., be revoked and that he be assessed an administrative

penalty of $190,000.00 and transcript costs in the amount of $12,809.50.

The only reason I thought he might be good is that on his wikipedia page

(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/_Tan), it says that he is a pioneer in the

field of testosterone replacement therapy and has written books on the subject.

He even has a separate men's health clinic.

Since he is an hour and a half away, I would still like to be positive before

making the drive. I'll ask his office those questions beforehand. Thanks.

I haven't seen Dr. Tan but I recall a web article where he describing his

philosophy in treating men with low testosterone. He mentioned the phrase

" relative hypogonadism " - wherein a(n) (aging) man could have low normal total

testosterone, but could have symptoms of hypogonadism

(http://www.nature.com/ijir/journal/v14/n4/full/3900861a.html). Also, he

mentioned clinical response as a better gauge than serum testosterone levels.

An excerpt from his book, " Aging Men's Health: A Case-Based Approach " , can be

found here: (preview) (http://preview.tinyurl.com/y9ma8qt)

or (http://tinyurl.com/y9ma8qt). Additionally, a web article (which I cannot

find now) mentioned Dr. Tan treating a man who had a total T over 500 ng/dL,

because he found his LH and FSH was extremely elevated (supposing that his

pituitary and the rest of his body perceived low T).

As good as he sounds, I've yet to meet anyone who's a patient of Dr. Tan.

Hopefully, a quick screening of his office will get you the info you need.
