Testosterone Replacement Therapy
Virginia Beach & Chesapeake

Fountain of You MD is a self-pay clinic. While we do not bill insurance directly, we are happy to provide detailed visit documentation that you may submit to your insurance provider for possible reimbursement. Many hormone replacement therapy options are not typically covered, although every plan is different, so it is always best to check with your insurer directly. Patients are welcome to use Health Savings Accounts at Fountain of You MD and we also offer flexible payment options through CareCredit and Cherry.

At Fountain of You MD in Virginia Beach, we treat men with low Testosterone levels with a comprehensive combination of lifestyle changes and high quality, time-released intramuscular injections of bioidentical hormones on a weekly or biweekly basis. Bioidentical hormone injections are the most safe and effective method of Testosterone hormone replacement therapy.

We have not achieved results using transdermal (through the skin) hormone replacement therapy, which is not absorbed well in men, is easily transferable to children and women, and is outrageously expensive. Other clinics often prescribe patches, pellets, or intranasal therapies, all of which can have irritating side effects and highly ineffective absorption. Intramuscular testosterone injections are the gold standard for balancing hormones in men.

TRT is a medical treatment that helps restore healthy testosterone levels in men who are experiencing symptoms of low testosterone, also known as “Low T.” Treatment options may include pellets or injections, depending on individual needs.

Symptoms of low testosterone may include fatigue, reduced sex drive, weight gain (especially around the midsection), difficulty building muscle, poor concentration, low mood, and erectile dysfunction. Bloodwork is required to confirm diagnosis.

Yes, testosterone therapy is considered safe when administered and monitored by experienced medical providers. At Fountain of You MD, we use evidence-based protocols and regular lab testing to ensure optimal dosing and minimize risks.

At Fountain of You MD, we primarily recommend testosterone injections for men due to their reliability and steady, streamlined delivery. Injections are typically given once a week or bi-weekly, depending on individual needs and lab results. Pellet therapy is also available for men who prefer a longer-acting option with less frequent dosing.

Many men begin to notice improvements in energy, mood, and focus within 2 to 4 weeks. Gains in muscle mass, libido, and sexual function often improve steadily over 6 to 12 weeks of consistent therapy.

Yes, it can. Testosterone plays a key role in metabolism and muscle maintenance. Optimizing testosterone levels often supports fat loss—especially abdominal fat—when paired with a healthy lifestyle and proper nutrition.

Absolutely. Lab work is performed before starting therapy and repeated at regular intervals to monitor testosterone levels, blood counts, and other important markers. To make the process seamless, we schedule your follow-up labs and next appointment in advance to help maintain steady results and prevent symptoms from returning.

No. Low testosterone can affect men at any age. While levels naturally decline over time, younger men may also experience symptoms due to stress, lifestyle, or medical conditions. We tailor each treatment plan based on your age, lab results, and health goals.
