Re: Need to do Testicular /Pit stim tests Well I am bummed now,.......

[Guest guest]

Dr. Ullis,....thanks very much. I have a couple of those already but I guess

they need to be done at the same draw per se. I certainly wish that I could find

a doc like you around here.

It baffles me to be honest! My insurance is excellent,.....I don't even require

authorization for ANY test that is ordered. I pay all of my bills as well. I

don't understand these doctors anymore, other than possibly he feels I know more

about it than he does at this point.

Phil,.....he won't even work with me.

I doubt he is willing to spend time on the phone with another doc even if Dr.

Ullis was willing for a fee.

As I have said, he is a cardiologist by specialty, but I was very disappointed

when he started blowing off my requests for a couple of simple blood tests. I

really didn't expect that, nor do I understand why.

I don't want to make too big of an issue about it, as he is one of the best in

this area, and with my family history I may need him one day for what he really

does.

Well yes your Dr. is a keeper my heart Dr. was an Endo before he became a heart

Dr. and was treating people with Pituitary Problems. He became a Heart Dr.

because he was not all that much needed. He knows more about my Problems with

my hormones then any Dr. I ever seen but will not treat them he just has no

time.

You are having the problem most of us have finding a good Dr. Read in the Files

section " Finding A New Male Hormone Dr. " Start making calls ask questions

before seeing a new one. You can try calling Compounding Pharmacy's and ask for

the names and numbers of Dr.'s in your area that order compounded Testosterone

from them this works good for finding a Dr.

At this link they have a link for finding a Dr.
