Dr. Sachdev switched from her previous hormone replacement therapy to the BioTE method in September of 2016 at the age of 48 years. Within two weeks she experienced dramatic improvements in energy, focus, drive and motivation. Her sleep improved and joint pain disappeared.

She felt so much better that she joined a gym and hired a personal trainer. Her stamina, endurance and muscle tone improved, boosting her confidence. Within a few months she had lost 40 pounds and several inches off her waist. Her blood pressure and blood sugar improved dramatically allowing her to discontinue most of her prescription medications. After years of making no progress with expensive medication her prediabetes completely resolved. 

Her libido also returned after years of dormancy, restoring her marriage.  Within a few months of starting BioTE therapy she felt, looked and behaved 20 years younger. Dr. Sachdev feels that BioTE treatment gave her a new life, she recommends it to patients, friends and family. She considers BioTE hormone replacement the most significant thing she has ever done for her personal health and that of her patients.

​What comes next? How to schedule your first pellet insertion:

​
If you are eligible for BioTE therapy and wish to proceed with treatment contact our office manager to discuss purchase of a BioTE start up package. Details regarding this package may be found in our BioTE information packets.

Your first pellet insertion appointment typically lasts one hour. Your BioTE provider will design a treatment protocol and discuss it with you before your pellets are inserted. The insertion procedure and aftercare instructions will also be discussed with you. The procedure itself typically takes only a few minutes. After your insertion you will be provided with written post care instructions and Dr. Sachdev's personal mobile number should any problems or concerns arise.  You will also be provided with orders and instructions for your follow up lab work which should be performed 4-6 weeks after your procedure.

Schedule a follow up office visit 1-2 weeks after your post-insertion lab work to review your results and symptomatic response to treatment, during this visit any necessary adjustments may be made to your treatment protocol.  Once your optimal dose of therapy has been determined you may begin scheduling your pellet insertion appointments online (maintenance visits). Women typically need their pellets replaced every 2-4 months, 3 months is average. Men typically need their pellets replaced every 4- 6 months, 6 months is average.  


​How to maintain therapy:
Established BioTE patients may schedule appointments for pellet replacement directly via our website. Pellets are typically replaced or reinserted every 3 months for women and 6 months for men.
