Have your energy and moods been on a downward slide? Andropause, also called male menopause or low T, can creep up on you, slowly draining your vigor and virility. The hormone specialists at Longevità Medical in Victor, NY, have safe, effective treatment options to get you back in the game.
With a simple consultation, you’ll learn if you’re a candidate for bioidentical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT), such as testosterone therapy. As leading BHRT specialists, we have helped many men in Rochester and throughout Upstate New York live their lives to the fullest with our safe, effective, medically managed hormone replacement program.
Common signs of hormone imbalance in men include:
Your endocrine system produces hormones that control many of your body’s functions, including metabolism, stress response, sex drive, moods, regeneration, and more. When hormones become off balance, even slightly, men can experience a variety of problems.
Because testosterone and other hormone production naturally decline with age, imbalances are common in men as early as their 40s.
Bioidentical hormones are derived from plant-based sources, such as Mexican wild yams, that contain a chemical called diosgenin. Compounding pharmacies can chemically convert diosgenin into synthetic bioidentical hormones, such as testosterone, progesterone, and DHEA, which are identical to the natural molecular/chemical structure of the hormones our bodies generate.
BHRT can help men bring their hormone levels into balance and alleviate symptoms associated with andropause. Bioidentical hormones have over 30 years of support for their safety and efficacy.
To ensure you are a candidate for BHRT, a thorough health assessment and physical exam will be completed at your consultation prior to starting hormone therapy.
Owner and medical director Dr. Vito C. Quatela, along with Julie A. Chatt, MSN, FNP-C, provide regenerative medicine care tailored to the needs of their patients so they can live their best lives.

Therapies for men with low T include testosterone and DHEA (adrenal hormone) to boost energy, treat erectile dysfunction (ED), increase strength and recovery after workouts, and maintain bone density.
In addition to BHRT, you should make healthy lifestyle choices that include aerobic and resistance exercise, eating right, and minimizing alcohol and tobacco use.
Bioidentical hormones have the same molecular structure as natural hormones so that the body can use them without harmful side effects. These substances can be custom compounded for your specific needs.
While BHRT effectively treats the symptoms of andropause, it provides additional health benefits, including:

Our Worldlink Medical-certified hormone specialist, Julie Chatt, FNP-C, will meet with you over Zoom for an exploratory visit to review your health history, symptoms, and goals for improvement. If you are a candidate for BHRT, we will order bloodwork at our office or your local Quest Diagnostics lab.
Once your lab results are in (usually within 10 days), Julie Chatt will meet you for a consultation in our office, during which she will:
Patients typically receive their specially formulated medication by mail in about 7 to 10 days and can begin treatment right away.
Ongoing monitoring by Julie Chatt involves periodic check-ins and bloodwork to ensure your treatment is effective and optimized for your needs. Julie will make dosage and medication adjustments, as necessary.
Our compounding pharmacy is MedQuest, one of the largest compounding pharmacies in our country. They are highly regulated, third-party tested, and meet high standards of purity, safety, and accuracy. Using a compounding pharmacy allows us to further individualize medication doses for our patients depending on their age, level of hormone depletion, and response to dosages. We cannot achieve such a precise level of medication management with standard pharmacies. Also, we cannot guarantee that a standard pharmacy will not source the ingredients from other countries.
We assess hormone levels and the body’s response to hormone supplementation using serum samples taken from the blood instead of saliva testing, which is unreliable and inaccurate.
The price for our medically managed BHRT program is $2,350 per year, which covers the following professional services (labs and hormones paid for separately):
While Longevità Medical does not accept insurance, we do accept the following forms of payment:
The length of time that patients can supplement hormones depends on their treatment plans, conditions, medical histories, and goals. Men treating low testosterone with hormone supplements can continue BHRT under the close monitoring of a medical practitioner for years.
Patients may start to experience improvement in their symptoms in as little as 2 weeks, but, on average, it takes 6 to 8 weeks of consistent use. Depending on the individual, it may take several months to restore hormones to optimal levels.
