Comprehensive Testing for Men

At the Men’s Wellness Clinic, we believe that information is power. That is why we make advanced testing available to you so you can be better informed about your health risks and make choices that help you stay as healthy as possible.

We start by conducting a thorough evaluation of your health. Beyond the standard blood tests and physical examination, we offer genetic testing including molecular biomarkers to assess your risk for heart disease, diabetes and Alzheimer’s disease.

We also offer a variety of advanced imaging tests that go beyond traditional stress tests to help us get a better view your heart and vascular health. This testing can uncover “hidden” conditions that may not cause symptoms but can be serious, such as coronary artery disease, abdominal aortic aneurysms and peripheral artery disease.

These screenings allow our experts to make evidence-based recommendations to help you reduce your health risks.

Men who come to see us are motivated to make changes. Often, they want to reduce their risks based on their family history. Or they may have had a recent health scare and want to do everything they can to reduce their future risks. Whatever the motivation, we are here to help.

Diet, weight loss, exercise and not smoking are some of the steps you can take to protect against cardiovascular disease. But we recognize that making these lifestyle changes is not easy. That is why we offer a team-based approach to care. In addition to heart and vascular experts, the team at the Men’s Wellness Clinic includes an endocrinologist who can help prevent and manage diabetes and a dietitian who specializes in helping men with weight loss.

Sexual Health Services

Our primary care physicians can help you with sexually transmitted infection (STI) testing and HIV prevention. We are also experienced in caring for LGBTQ+ patients and committed to providing primary care services in an inclusive, welcoming environment.

We can also help to diagnose and treat sexual health related issues like low libido, erectile dysfunction and low testosterone.

We routinely collaborate with urology and can refer you to a urologist who specializes in advanced treatments for issues such as erectile dysfunction (ED), Peyronie’s disease and benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH).
