Four things that are true of every visit

Care by an OB/GYN

Every procedure at Oshun is reviewed and led by a board-certified Obstetrician and Gynaecologist. Dr. Rockhead is a physician first — the same one who treats women's health on the other side of his practice.

30 years caring for women

Three decades as a practicing OB/GYN at Amadeo Medical Group, the parent clinical practice. Every Testosterone Optimization plan is reviewed by a physician who has cared for women through pregnancy, surgery, perimenopause, and post-natal recovery.

Written plan first

Every Testosterone Optimization patient leaves consultation with a written plan: areas, technique, timing, recovery, cost. Returning patients refine the same plan rather than starting from scratch every visit.

Conservative, considered

Oshun's approach favours conservative, considered care over aggressive intervention. Decisions are made in conversation with you, options are presented in plain language, and consent is informed at every step.

The honest version

Why testosterone optimization sometimes disappoints.

Testosterone optimization disappoints when prescribed without documented deficiency, when monitoring is neglected, or when expectations are set against unrealistic anti-aging marketing.

Testosterone deficiency is a biochemical diagnosis — not just a symptom complex. Many men with fatigue, low libido, and weight gain have normal testosterone and benefit from different interventions (sleep, exercise, mental health support, weight management). Treating symptoms without biochemical confirmation produces underwhelming results.

The other failure mode is inadequate monitoring. Testosterone therapy can raise haematocrit, accelerate PSA changes, suppress fertility. Wellness clinics that prescribe without regular monitoring create avoidable risk. At Oshun, monitoring is part of the package.

At Oshun, we don't run that model. Testosterone Optimization here is physician-led from consultation through follow-up, with a written plan in your hands and a follow-up visit on the calendar before you leave.

No obligation · Every consultation is in-person with Dr. Rockhead.

A Testosterone Optimization visit at Oshun follows a clear sequence — from consultation through the procedure itself through follow-up. Here is what happens, step by step.

i.

Consultation

Before any Testosterone Optimization is scheduled, you meet Dr. Rockhead in person at 9 Devon Road. He reviews your medical history, examines you as appropriate, and explains the options — including the option not to proceed. You leave with a clear written plan and a quote.

ii.

Preparation

Baseline labs required: total and free testosterone (morning, fasting), CBC, PSA (men over 40), lipid panel, fasting glucose.

iii.

The optimization plan

Dr. Rockhead reviews symptoms and prior labs, orders baseline testing if needed, and writes an individualised treatment plan covering delivery method, starting dose, and monitoring schedule. If pellet insertion is chosen, the procedure is performed under local anaesthesia in the office.

iv.

Recovery & follow-up

Adhere to prescribed regimen. Report excessive haematocrit signs (fatigue, headaches), prostate symptoms in men, or unusual mood changes. Initial response visit at 6–8 weeks with repeat labs; subsequent reviews every 3–6 months for the first year.

The honest answers

Nine questions every nervous first-timer asks.

Open any of them. We've written each answer the way Dr. Rockhead would actually say it — not the way a brochure would.

How is testosterone deficiency diagnosed?
By morning, fasting total testosterone (and free testosterone). A single low result is not enough — testing should be repeated to confirm.
Will testosterone make me infertile?
In men, exogenous testosterone suppresses natural production and spermatogenesis. Men planning future pregnancies should defer treatment or use alternative strategies.
What delivery method is best?
Topical gels, intramuscular injections, and pellet implants all work. Choice depends on convenience, dose stability needs, and patient preference.
How long until I feel the effects?
Libido often within 2–4 weeks; energy and mood 4–8 weeks.
Will testosterone cause prostate cancer?
Current evidence does not show testosterone replacement causes prostate cancer. However, testosterone can accelerate growth of any existing cancer, which is why screening before and during therapy is part of the protocol in men.
Can women take testosterone?
Yes, in selected cases — typically for low libido that hasn't responded to oestrogen therapy. Doses in women are far lower than in men.
What are the risks?
Polycythaemia, fluid retention, acne, fertility suppression (men), potential prostate effects (men), mood changes.
Is testosterone optimization covered by insurance?
Documented hypogonadism is typically covered. Off-label or wellness use generally is not.
