I can't say if Dr. O. is a competent hormone physician or not, but I'm not going to give him a chance. Here's why. The office staff do not follow up in a timely manner (and sometimes not at all). Dr. O. is expensive, charging me well over $300 just for a one hour initial hormone consultation (in addition to overselling me on expensive supplements). He doesn't take time to discuss your health or his plan of action--he ordered at least 15 lab tests without even explaining what they were and why. Dr. O. doesn't look all that healthy himself. He is quite a bit overweight and doesn't look like he takes all that good of care of himself. My biggest complaint is that I feel like Dr. O. is just an average doctor who doesn't take the time to discuss your health or incorporate your understanding and interaction/feedback with his plan of care. I'm a health care provider and have high expectations for a doctor in his ability to empower me to be an important member of my own health care team.
