Choosing a Doctor
Quick Test
Does your prospective doctor look like he or she follows an Antiaging Medicine Program, or needs an Antiaging Medicine Program?
Qualities to look for in an antiaging physician: does he or she
- believe we can prevent disease and enhance quality of life?
- practice what he or she preaches ?
- follow an antiaging medicine program? (See Dr. Smith)
- keep up with the latest advances in antiaging medicine?
- see you as an active partner in your antiaging medicine program?
- believe in regular follow up?
- provide easy access for questions?
Why do I need a physician to supervise my antiaging medicine program?
No program of antiaging medicine therapy particularly one utilizing hormone replacement should be conducted without medical supervision. There are many reasons to obtain supervision by a physician skilled in antiaging medicine:
- Only a licensed physician can prescribe human growth hormone, testosterone, estrogen, progesterone and other medications utilized in antiaging medicine and bio-identical hormone replacement.
- There are potential side effects associated with therapies that alter your metabolism and these should be monitored by a physician skilled in the specialty of antiaging medicine.
- A physician is needed to monitor your antiaging program with respect to hormone levels and related laboratory tests.
Your antiaging physician can also follow the effects your antiaging program is having on your disease risk factors. - Each individual is unique in terms of genetics, biochemistry, risk factors, family and medical history. Only a physician skilled in antiaging medicine can determine the optimal program for you.
