Low Testosterone Specialist in Houston
Proper diagnosis and safe, monitored treatment for low testosterone — by a board-certified endocrinologist, not a clinic chain. We confirm the diagnosis correctly, identify the underlying cause, and tailor therapy to your goals and long-term health.
Why choose an endocrinologist for Low T
- Board-certified endocrinologist — specialized hormone training
- Correct diagnosis (morning labs, repeat testing, free testosterone)
- Root-cause evaluation: pituitary, thyroid, sleep, weight, medications
- Safe testosterone therapy with appropriate monitoring
- Fertility-preserving alternatives when appropriate
- Coordination with cardiology and prostate health when needed
- Bilingual consultations in English and Spanish
What to expect
We start with proper morning labs (often repeated) and a full medical history. Many men labeled as 'low T' actually have a treatable underlying cause — sleep apnea, thyroid issues, medications or weight. When testosterone therapy is appropriate, we choose the right delivery method and monitor closely for safety and effectiveness.
Frequently asked questions
Should I see an endocrinologist for low testosterone?
Yes. Endocrinologists are the specialists trained to diagnose and treat hormonal conditions properly — including identifying the underlying cause of low testosterone, not just treating the number.
Is testosterone therapy safe?
When properly prescribed and monitored, testosterone therapy can be safe and very effective. Dr. Splenser follows evidence-based guidelines for screening, dosing and ongoing monitoring.
Will testosterone therapy affect my fertility?
Standard testosterone therapy can reduce fertility. If fertility matters to you, we discuss alternatives that preserve sperm production.
What forms of testosterone do you prescribe?
Injections, gels, pellets and other options — chosen based on your lifestyle, response, and insurance coverage.
