Maryland Weight Loss & Testosterone provides in-person testosterone therapy using compounded injections that are adjusted to your lab results, symptoms, and response over time.
Your care is managed directly by Chase Duckwall, PA-C, a licensed medical provider with more than eight years of experience. Chase brings a strong background in emergency and occupational medicine, and he’ll work one-on-one with you to ensure your wellness treatment is right for you at our practice in Williamsport, Maryland.
How We Approach Testosterone Therapy
Chase Duckwall will create a treatment plan that makes sense for your lifestyle and goals. Here’s what to expect from the treatment process at Maryland Weight Loss & Testosterone:
- One-on-one consultation and full health review: Chase takes the time to learn about your current symptoms, medical history, and any previous lab work. This helps determine if testosterone therapy is a safe and appropriate option for you.
- Lab testing to assess your current hormone levels: A blood test measures your total and free testosterone, along with other important markers like estrogen, PSA (prostate-specific antigen), red blood cell count, and more. These results help guide your dosing and determine baseline values to track over time.
- Injectable testosterone prescribed if clinically appropriate: If your levels are low and symptoms align, Chase will prescribe compounded injectable testosterone. Dosing is based on your individual lab results and may be adjusted depending on how your body responds. Injections are administered on a regular schedule, typically weekly or biweekly, depending on your plan.
- Ongoing monitoring and follow-up visits: You’ll have follow-up labs every few months to monitor hormone levels and overall health. Chase also checks in on how you’re feeling. Energy, sleep, mental clarity, mood, and physical performance all help guide treatment adjustments.
This process is designed to make sure you get the benefits of therapy while minimizing risks. Chase stays closely involved at every step, so you always have direct access to him if something feels off or needs to be adjusted.
