People sometimes ask me directly: why I founded MOPE Clinic, and the honest answer starts with my own life, not a business plan.
I’ve been on testosterone replacement therapy since I was a teenager. I’m in my late 40s now, and over the years I’ve been through just about every form of testosterone available. Somewhere along the way, after a lot of conversations with a mentor about how TRT is actually practiced, I realized something uncomfortable: I had been poorly managed by every single provider who had ever prescribed me testosterone. Every one of them.
That includes now, as a nurse practitioner myself. I still see someone else for my own testosterone, because it’s a controlled substance and I can’t write my own prescription. But I know what good management is supposed to look like, and for most of my life, I wasn’t getting it.
I Built MOPE Clinic to Fix What I Lived Through.
If you’ve been managed poorly on TRT, or never had your hormones properly checked at all, I’d like to help you get it right.
What Did “Poor Management” Actually Look Like?
It looked like dosing that never accounted for how I actually felt. It looked like providers treating testosterone as a checkbox instead of something that needed real follow-up labs and real adjustment over time. I went through years of that before I had the training to recognize how wrong it was, and by then I had already lived the consequences of it.
Why Did I Decide to Open My Own Clinic Instead of Just Fixing My Own Care?
Because I knew I wasn’t the only one. Guys need testosterone at levels high enough to maintain proper function, not just a number that clears a minimum bar. It does more than help in the bedroom, though that part matters too. I know that firsthand. It affects energy, mood, motivation, and how you show up for the people around you. I wanted to build a clinic that actually treats the whole picture instead of repeating the mismanagement I went through.
What Does MOPE Clinic Do Differently?
Every plan starts with labs, with no exceptions. Patients don’t get a generic protocol; they get a plan built from their own numbers and symptoms. MOPE Clinic is a real, physical clinic in Metairie, not a telehealth-only prescription mill, and it’s LegitScript certified, meaning a third party has verified our medical, legal, and safety standards.
Why I Founded MOPE Clinic: The Short Version
I lived the problem for most of my adult life before I had the credentials to fix it for other people. MOPE Clinic exists so that other men and women don’t have to spend decades mismanaged the way I was.

If you’ve been mismanaged before, or never had a real evaluation, I’d like MOPE Clinic to be the place that finally gets it right.
