That’s exactly what the complimentary Discovery Call is for. We’ll briefly discuss what you’re looking for, answer general questions about my approach, and determine the most appropriate next step for your needs.

The Discovery Call is not a medical visit and does not include medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment.

Reference ranges are only one part of understanding your health. Your symptoms, medical history, medications, lifestyle, trends in your results, and overall clinical picture also matter.

My approach is to look at these pieces together to better understand what may be contributing to how you feel and determine whether additional evaluation or treatment is appropriate.

I offer select virtual care in Texas by appointment. I also currently provide wellness and hormone care through Juvan MD in Houston, Texas, where both in-person and virtual options may be available depending on the service and your location.

Yes. When clinically appropriate, treatment plans may include prescription therapies such as hormone replacement therapy, testosterone optimization, thyroid medications, or GLP-1 medications. I also incorporate lifestyle, nutrition, and supplement recommendations when appropriate.

Your comprehensive evaluation is designed to give us a clearer picture of your health before making recommendations. It includes a detailed review of your symptoms, health history, medications and supplements, lifestyle, goals, and foundational laboratory testing.

Once your results are available, they are interpreted alongside your clinical picture to help guide personalized recommendations and appropriate next steps.

After your consultation, we'll review your findings and recommend the next steps that best fit your needs. Depending on your goals and clinical picture, this may include prescription treatment, hormone or thyroid management, weight and metabolic support, nutrition or supplement recommendations, additional testing, or follow-up care. You’ll have a clear understanding of your options before deciding how you'd like to move forward.

Care By Alex is a self-pay practice and does not bill insurance for independent services. Services provided through Juvan MD are subject to Juvan MD's current pricing and payment policies.

If laboratory testing, medications, or other services are ordered, insurance coverage and out-of-pocket costs may vary.

Ongoing care is personalized based on your needs and treatment plan. Some patients may benefit from periodic follow-up visits, while others may require more frequent monitoring during treatment. Any recommended services and associated costs will be discussed with you before moving forward.

Lab results provide important context that symptoms alone may not reveal. Including foundational testing allows us to evaluate areas such as hormone and metabolic health and other relevant markers alongside your symptoms and health history.

Additional or specialized testing may be recommended when clinically appropriate.

My areas of focus include hormone health, perimenopause and menopause, testosterone health, weight and metabolic health, thyroid concerns, digestive health, sexual wellness, and functional and integrative wellness.

Because many of these concerns overlap, my approach focuses on understanding the bigger picture rather than looking at each symptom in isolation.

Yes. Juvan MD is a Houston-based aesthetic and medical wellness practice where I currently provide hormone, metabolic, weight, and wellness care.

I offer select independent consultations and professional services through Care By Alex, depending on your needs and availability. Wellness and hormone treatment requiring ongoing clinical management is currently provided through Juvan MD.

If you’re unsure which option is right for you, a complimentary Discovery Call is the best place to start.
