Common Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

Answers to common questions about Juvenis Medical, hormone optimization, telehealth, treatment options, costs, and what to expect when getting started.

Getting Started

How do I know if Juvenis Medical is right for me?

The best place to start is a quick phone call. Call (954) 982-8378 and we'll tell you exactly which services are available in your area and what your next step would be. No commitment, no cost.

Do I need a referral to be seen?

No referral is needed. Juvenis Medical is a direct-care practice — you can call to schedule a free consultation directly, without going through a primary care physician first.

What happens after I call?

When you call, we'll answer your questions and book your free 15-minute consultation with Dr. Paul. He reviews your information before the consultation so your time together is focused and efficient. The clinic then follows up to coordinate next steps and, if appropriate, lab orders.

Is the initial consultation free?

Yes. Dr. Paul offers a free 15-minute consultation to discuss your goals, answer your questions, and give an honest assessment of whether Juvenis Medical is the right fit. No charge. No commitment.

Do I have to commit to anything upfront?

No. The consultation is exploratory. A care plan is developed only after a full evaluation — including lab work and provider review. You're never enrolled in a protocol without first agreeing to a clear plan and pricing.

Telehealth & Location

Which services are available via telehealth?

Nationwide telehealth (all 50 states): Peptide therapy and medical weight loss including GLP-1 therapy.

Florida residents only: All hormone therapy — testosterone (TRT), women's hormone therapy (BHRT) including menopause care, and the men's hormone panel.

In-person at our Fort Lauderdale clinic: Full range of services, open to patients from any state.

I'm not in Florida — can I still be seen?

Yes, in two ways. If you're interested in peptide therapy or medical weight loss, telehealth is available from any state. If you're interested in hormone therapy (TRT or BHRT), you're welcome to visit our Fort Lauderdale clinic in person — patients from any state are welcome.

How does a telehealth appointment work?

Telehealth appointments are conducted via secure video call. You'll receive a link in advance. Labs can be ordered to a location near you and results are reviewed by the provider before your follow-up. For eligible services, everything — consultation, labs, prescription delivery, and follow-up — can be handled remotely.

Where is the clinic located?

1164 E. Oakland Park Blvd., Suite #202, Oakland Park, FL 33334 — just minutes from Fort Lauderdale. Open Monday through Friday 8am–5pm, Saturday by appointment. Phone: (954) 982-8378.

Services

What does Juvenis Medical specialize in?

Juvenis Medical leads with hormone therapy — testosterone replacement (TRT) and bioidentical hormone therapy for perimenopause and menopause — alongside men's health, medical weight loss including GLP-1 therapy, and peptide therapy. All care plans are individualized based on your lab results — not templates.

Does Juvenis Medical treat women?

Yes. BHRT and peptide therapy are both available for women. Many female patients come seeking support for perimenopause, menopause, thyroid function, and general hormone balance.

What is the difference between TRT and peptide therapy?

Testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) directly supplements testosterone levels and is a controlled substance regulated by state law. Peptide therapy uses naturally occurring signaling molecules that work with the body's own processes — supporting growth hormone release, recovery, and cellular function. Peptides are non-controlled and available nationwide via telehealth. Which approach is appropriate for you is a clinical determination made by Dr. Paul based on your labs and goals.

What does the blood panel cost?

The comprehensive blood panel is $100–$345. That figure is for labs only — not therapy. Protocol pricing, if a plan is appropriate, is discussed during your free consultation before you commit.

I was told my TSH is normal. Can I still be evaluated?

Yes. Many patients come in after a TSH-only check. Juvenis looks at TSH, free T3, free T4, and reverse T3 so Dr. Paul can see a fuller picture. Whether anything needs to change is a clinical determination after labs and consult.

How is estrogen prescribed for women?

Topical and transdermal only. The usual prescription is Bi-Est, not estradiol as the standard starting prescription, plus bioidentical progesterone. Progesterone is for all women in this conversation — bone, mood, and sleep, not only endometrial protection. Low-dose testosterone for women is added where labs call for it. More on menopause care.

Do you prescribe HCG on TRT? What about fertility?

Yes — HCG or enclomiphene, depending on your lab work, your history, and your goals. Testosterone taken from the outside suppresses your body's own signal to the testes, so fertility and testicular function are addressed as part of the protocol rather than after the fact. Raise it on the first call if it matters to you; it changes how the protocol is built.

Do you prescribe HGH?

No. Dr. Paul does not prescribe synthetic human growth hormone. Growth hormone support here uses secretagogues that prompt your own pituitary — most commonly sermorelin, ipamorelin with CJC-1295, and tesamorelin. These are non-controlled and available nationwide. More on the growth hormone axis.

Where do the medications come from?

All medications at Juvenis Medical are sourced exclusively from licensed, accredited compounding pharmacies. Dr. Paul does not prescribe from unregulated or overseas sources. Suitability and safety are assessed individually during your evaluation.

The Process

Do I need bloodwork before my first appointment?

Not necessarily. For most patients, lab orders are placed after the initial consultation. If you have recent bloodwork (within 6 months), you're welcome to bring it — but it's not required to get started.

What kind of bloodwork is involved?

Juvenis Medical uses a comprehensive panel covering 70+ factors — not just a single hormone. This typically includes hormones, metabolic markers, thyroid function, and other indicators based on your symptoms and goals. The goal is a complete picture, not a partial one.

How long does it take to get started?

Most patients complete their consultation and lab work within the first one to two weeks. Protocol initiation depends on lab turnaround and provider review, but typically takes two to three weeks from first contact.

How are medications delivered?

Medications are shipped directly to your home or preferred address from licensed compounding pharmacies. No pharmacy pickup required.

How often do I need follow-up appointments?

Follow-up frequency depends on your protocol and progress. Most patients have check-ins every one to three months to review labs, make adjustments as needed, and monitor results. Dr. Paul emphasizes ongoing optimization — not a set-and-forget approach

Costs & Payment

Do you accept insurance?

No. Juvenis Medical is a cash-pay practice. This means no authorization delays, no claim denials, and no surprise bills. You'll know exactly what you're paying before you commit to anything.

What does treatment cost?

Costs vary depending on the service and your specific protocol. Dr. Paul provides clear, transparent pricing during your free consultation — before you commit to anything. There are no hidden fees.

What payment methods do you accept?

We accept all major credit cards, debit cards, and HSA/FSA cards. Payment details are confirmed during the intake process.

Privacy & Safety

Is my information kept private?

Yes. All patient information is handled in accordance with applicable privacy and healthcare regulations. We only collect the details you choose to share with us by phone or email.

Are there patients who are not candidates?

Yes. Not all patients are candidates for all services. Candidacy is determined after a full evaluation including lab work and provider review. Dr. Paul does not prescribe treatments to patients for whom they would be contraindicated.

I have an existing medical condition — is it safe to explore these services?

Your health history, current medications, and any existing conditions are reviewed before any protocol is recommended. Dr. Paul takes a thorough, individualized approach to each patient. Patients with complex medical histories are evaluated on a case-by-case basis. If a treatment is not appropriate for you, he'll tell you directly.
