Mission Statement
It is our mission to utilize the six naturopathic principles to provide comprehensive primary health care and HRT to men of all ages and backgrounds; to recognize every person as an individual with unique concerns and challenges; to discover the underlying cause of patients’ health concerns and implement treatments that support their natural healing ability without doing harm; to recognize when a specialist is indicated and refer appropriately; and to guide every person toward ultimate health through a variety of naturopathic modalities, health education, and pharmaceutical intervention. The naturopathic modalities that will be utilized at our clinic include hormone replacement therapy, nutrition, and health counseling.
We will run an environmentally responsible clinic in a warm, friendly space that provides compassionate naturopathic health care and disease prevention for the residents of the Chehalem Valley area while striving to utilize local vendors as much as possible to keep our carbon footprint to a minimum.
In addition to providing hormone replacement therapy, it is our fervent goal to empower our patients to take an active role in achieving and maintaining their optimal health through positive dietary and lifestyle choices.
Information about our clinic’s healthcare services will be delivered to the population of Newberg and its surrounding areas via presentations to local businesses and organizations, community health and wellness talks at local events, an attractive and easily navigable website, cross-networking, and through publications in local media.
The doctors at Wildwood Men’s Health will continually strive to maintain the most up to date knowledge in men’s hormone replacement therapy and erectile dysfunction. We will complete continuing education seminars and webinars yearly, review clinical cases amongst our doctors monthly, and consult with referring providers and other specialists in the area as appropriate.
Business Products or Services
Wildwood Men’s Health provides naturopathic primary care and testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) for men in the Newberg and surrounding areas. We offer a myriad of hormone treatment modalities including intramuscular and subcutaneous injections, bioidentical hormone pellet implantations, as well as topical transdermal applications. In addition to TRT, Wildwood will provide primary care services including routine health screening, lab analysis, pharmaceutical management, weight loss programs, and dietary and nutrition education. We will also provide specific treatments to address erectile dysfunction (ED) such as intracavernosal injection therapy, the administration of specific oral ED medications, and potentially, extracorporeal low intensity shock wave therapy and PRP injections. Finally, we will provide essential nutraceutical and botanical supplements available for purchase in our office at a 20% discount for members.
Wildwood is a cash-based practice that offers various membership subscriptions. All new patient visits are $299 which covers the initial two visits. The comprehensive TRT plan is $229 per month and includes the three main TRT medications (testosterone, anastrozole, and gonadorelin), regular lab testing, all injection supplies, all office visits, convenient HIPAA-compliant messaging capability with the doctor, and a 20% discount on top-of-the-line supplements. The primary care plan is $109 per month and is for patients who may not be eligible for TRT or may prefer to try and boost their testosterone levels via methods other than hormone replacement therapy, or for patients who may just be interested in losing weight, or pharmaceutical management. There is also a combination plan that includes both TRT and primary care for $299 per month.
Business Industry Standing
I think the thing that makes us stand out from other hormone replacement clinics is based on our training as naturopathic physicians. We don’t just treat symptoms, we take the time to get a complete perspective and try to get to the root cause of disease. Then, we work to reestablish one’s natural balance and homeostasis via the six naturopathic principles. We treat each patient as an individual and take the time to really listen to them to get a comprehensive understanding of how to best help them. It is our utmost goal and concern to get our patients feeling the best they can possibly feel. We take great pride in this and I think our patients can tell.
Customer Engagement
I often hear, “I haven’t felt this good in years,” or “I feel like I’m in my 20s again,” or “my knee pain that I’ve had for decades is completely gone,” or “doc, you’ve saved my marriage,” and other things like that when patients return for visits after being on treatment for a few months. It always makes my day!
Misconceptions
Unfortunately, testosterone replacement therapy still carries a stigma by many other providers. Our goal is not to blow your testosterone levels into the stratosphere; our goal is to help you attain optimal hormone levels and then maintain them to help you feel and perform at your absolute best. Historically, it was thought that testosterone replacement therapy predisposed men to cardiovascular disease and prostate cancer, and many, mostly older, practitioners have clung to this belief as if it was written in stone. Most current studies, however, have elucidated that these beliefs couldn’t be further from the truth. Optimal testosterone levels in males has actually shown to be protective against prostate cancer and cardiovascular disease. That being said, it is vital to be under the care of a physician who has extensive training and experience in this field to ensure that it is done safely and properly.
Name Origin Story
The name actually started out as Veritas Men’s Health and was officially registered under this name. It wasn’t until after everything was finalized that I found out from my website creator that Veritas was an anti-vaccine movement online and that Google made a concerted effort to block all searches with the name “Veritas” in them. I was devastated to say the least, but eventually came around to the conclusion that I needed to come up with a different name. I mean, how productive would it have been to have people searching for my business name only to be blocked by Google. So one evening a short time later, my wife and I had just finished watching an episode of Outlander on Netflix and were chatting about business names, then it was quiet for a minute, and all of a sudden she said, “How about Wildwood?” She had seen the title of my book Wildwood by Colin Meloy on the bookshelf and just blurted out the name. I instantly loved it!
