I went there with a couple of questions regarding to TRT and would that be a good fit for me, they were happy to answer everything and do tests to see what is my current condition and would I benefit from using it. After tests and consolation I decided to wait on trt and go with b12 30ml shots instead. Very happy with energy I got from it.

Dr. Mike and his team are so awesome! After extensive research of TRT providers in Chicago, I chose Chicagoland Men's Health. First and foremost their response was immediate and professional. My visit was very efficient and personable. The office location is super convenient. If you are looking for a TRT / Peptides therapy then look no further! As a mid-40's male I now feel fabulous from Chicagoland's program! My results have been so noticeable that my wife is now starting the women's program. chicagolandwomenshealth.com.

I'm grateful to this clinic for running tests that diagnosed a chronic condition I didn't realize I had. I'm almost three months into treatment and I can't say enough about how much I've improved. On top of that the level of service and accommodation are great. They've been able to schedule me for blood tests virtually on demand, and Dr. Kauf has *always* made himself available to me via text and email to answer all the questions I've had along the way. 10/10 would recommend to anyone with concerns about this aspect of their health.

I have been a patient at Chicagoland Men's health for the past ~3 years and I continue to have great success with testosterone replacement therapy. As a very-active 40 year old, it's a no brainer to keep on a solid regimen and Dr. Kauf and staff make it super easy. Very professional, responsive and just an all around great team. I highly recommend their services for anyone looking at leading a healthy lifestyle.

I'm not a religious man but thank god for the team at Chicagoland Men's Health!
I went here in December just to take a look at my blood and see where I was at and find out more about HRT. Now I'm a little on the younger side (35) for treatment but just hadn't felt right for a couple years so I decided to look into it. Turns out my T levels were low enough to consider a lower dose treatment. I've been on treatment since the start of 2019 (almost 4 months as of this review) and I make no exaggeration saying that it his been life changing. Literally all the advertised benefits and then some. Physically, mentally, sexually, just better in every way. Also it should be noted I'm someone who's always taken good care of myself. Diet,exercise, supplements, and sleep all on point and the difference has still been profound (I'm sure working synergistically with the other parts).
The team here has been great to work with and really helpful along the way. Sure it's hard to get used to administering the treatments at first but you get used to it. Again it's definitely 100% worth the benefits.
The initial test is free so what have you got to lose other than an hour of your time?

This is the best gift a man can give himself when he reached 40.

If you are in your 40's You should do this…. plain and simple. As men we don't realize many of the things that happen with our body. Most grandfathers, fathers, uncles and your coach weren't taught about what's occurring in their bodies as they enter this stage of life, being ignorant they really couldn't teach their loved ones and other men what to expect or prepare for. Your cells are changing becoming less efficient, your metabolism, your hormone production, your lifestyle, nutrition, less physical activity and domestication. Most old school men are taught to suck it up, don't say anything, just deal with it.

We are not in Pleasantville anymore, you can maintain your health, strength and libido. Testosterone supplementation works. Your replacing what your body use to make when you where young that's all. The science is sound it has a long proven history. Your not going to look like a bodybuilder, in fact you wouldn't be able to pick out the guy who's added supplementation to his life, it's simple enough. The clinic, real office in Chicago, gives you good support, medical screening, blood work, product and supplies and answer your question quickly. Don't listen to what you heard, be informed and educated on how it works, 99% of what you think you know or heard is simply not true or factual. I'm not going to tell another man what's affordable or not, income varies greatly in this country, but if you can do it ….you should it's for your body, your health and it works, you will see results and feel like a new man.

I'm 48 yrs old, I started my journey when I was 46 yrs, 6ft 257lbs, size 44 waist, I'm currently 230, 38 inch waist. This is something I plan on doing as long as I medically able to. Of course the number one tool in your tool box is portion control, healthy nutrition and exercise but this should be the next tool you have at your disposal.

For the past few years I struggled with extremly low energy and the inabilty to lose weight. It was so bad it was effecting my work as I was unable to get through a full day. Chicagolands Mens' Health was one of three clinics I looked at and I couldnt be happier with my choice. Almost immediatly my energy levels went up and after three months I am down fifteen pounds.

Contacting Chicagoland Men's Health really is one of the best decisions that I have made. The therapy I'm receiving has brought me back to high school levels of energy, focus and drive, with the benefit of adult life experience to utilize all this better. Mike Kauf is excellent. Any questions or concerns I've had have been immediately addressed. He's given me excellent advice to enhance this process. Dr. Albert has given me the knowledge and advice to feel confident with the treatment. Regular blood tests and check ins let me know I'm in good hands.

After recently been tested for low T, I decided to give this practice a try and see if they could do anything to help me. I'd been feeling sluggish, and wanted to explore the option of TRT. The office was very nice and the doctors were both very kind and thorough. After starting treatment, I began to improve dramatically and it became a major game changer in my well being. I felt incredible and have never looked back on my decision to start TRT. There were several issues that triggered red flags to me while getting treatment from this practice. Dr Kauf seemed to be a bit pushy and short tempered when confronted with questions. The kicker was when Dr Kauf began texting me at 10:30 at night asking for money. I overlooked the texting as just an usual method of contact for a doctor. But it was after 10:30pm and when I woke up to read his texts, he called me asking for payment for a refill that wasn't even due for a few weeks. The fact that he seemed so hard pressed for cash at 10:30 that he needed to call clients that late at night, was enough for me to cancel all future appointments and switch clinics. Upon contacting other friends who also saw Dr Kauf, I was told similar stories this unusual behavior. Once I found another clinic, I switched. I also referred two close friends who had cancelled all future appointments with Chicagoland Mens Health due to similar reasons.
These doctors are knowledgable and make it very easy to get in touch with them, but for whatever reason, Dr Kauf seems very high strung and makes it uncomfortable when issues arise.

Wow, a game changer. A year ago I was feeling tired and fatigue, both mentally and physically. My body was taking longer to recover from my workouts. I was referred to CMH and had my T count tested. I would have never thought of myself as a candidate…I was a candidate. I've been on T therapy for a year now and I feel great. I'm no longer fatigued, my energy level is higher and my focus and concentration has improved… my body fat has fallen from 17% to 10%. I'm 50 years old and I feel like I did in my late 20's early 30's. Like I said, a game changer.

There's more than what meets the eye at this office and I haven't seen a review yet that explains what this place really is and can do. Like the other reviewers, I went there to see if I was a candidate for testosterone therapy after being recommended to them by a trusted source. Turns out I was a candidate and I'm now on that program. It's a little early for me to see results like those in the other reviews but I suspect I'll have the same experience.

But this office is so much more than that. I also have a complicated knee problem and I initially didn't know they have a general MD on staff too so I no longer have to schlep around to the big hospitals which always seem to take a long time with the waiting rooms and walking to the right buildings. I feel like this is privatized health care.

So I now go to CMH for PT, chiropractic needs, massage therapy, general health and it's WAY more personal and personable. Such a great change from the hassles and waiting time with the big hospitals, where you end up feeling like you're a number.

I'm 30 yearw old, in good health, workout 5 days a week, eat well, stay away from stress, but travel frequently for work. I found myself to be feeling lethargic, irritable, and despite my time in the gym wasn't making the gains nor showing the improvements I was hoping for. I was having trouble sleeping, because I was not able to relax fully, and I came across Chicagoland Men's Health through an advertisement.

I stopped in and was greeted almost immediately by Dr. Kauf. He immediately reviewed exactly what I would be taking and had me take a blood test to determine where my testosterone levels were. It came back I was very low. Immediately, I got on the program. Once my package came in, he showed me how to use the injection and he supervised me during my first time. I've been on this program for 4 months and I feel amazing. My sleep, workouts, libido, and my mood have gotten a lot better. I can't imagine not being on this stuff. Plus, Dr Kauf is so accessible. If I send him a text, he'll get back to me within 20 mins.

This is a must for anyone thinking of getting on a program like this. Do it here with Chicagoland Men's Health and Dr. Kauf. Trust me you won't regret it!

I was feeling fat and lethargic and had several of my friends over 40 talk about hormone therapy with testosterone replacement. I avoided it for a couple of years because of the stigma associated with steroids. I got desperate lately bc I have been feeling really down and frustrated with weight and inability to pack on lean muscle.

I'm 47 years old, 6'1", fairly muscular build and about 40 lbs overweight. I been working out for three years, 4-6 times per week 1 hour per day. For me, its been a lot of work and a huge time commitment but without the results that I used to get in my earlier years. My friends who were already on the program started looking better and I started looking and feeling older.

I met with Dr. Kauf and Dr. Albert in their offices for complete blood work and evaluation
in his offices in the Gold Coast. The blood tests showed that I indeed had a testosterone level around 220, the low end of normal should be in the low to mid 300s so I decided to move forward with the full package – the T replacement as well as the HGRH and a few other scripts that help to control weight/fat retention, amino acids and estrogen blockers.

I'm only 2 1/2 weeks in but I've seen some highly encouraging results already. My energy level immediately spiked as in right after my first injections of b12 and testosterone. My sleep requirement has plummeted from needing 7-8 hours to needing 5-6 and I don't get tired during the day anymore. I am already looking and feeling stronger. My stamina has increased greatly. I will be updating this post in a couple of more weeks.

Update, now 2 months in, down 18 lbs., have tons more energy, no about 1-1 1/2 hours less sleep per night, strength gains are insane. I have also added one inch to my arms and have increased muscle mass while losing weight.

My first appointment with Chicagoland Men's Health was back in July of 2015 and I have been a patient of theirs for the last 7 months. Here is my experience:

I started off by filling out the contact form on their website http://www.chicagolandmenshealth.com/contact

Within a few hours I received a call from the clinic director Dr Michael Kauf. He was very patient and understanding and took the time to talk with me about my situation and answer all of my initial questions.

The reasons I had for looking into testosterone replacement therapy was lack of energy/fatigue, low sex drive, trouble sleeping, loss of muscle mass, and increased body fat. Dr. Kauf took the time to talk through all this with me and he was very knowledgeable.

I scheduled an appt to get my blood work done and meet with their medical doctor, Dr Tom Albert. I met with Dr Albert at their 1 E Delaware Place office (Very nice high end office) and we went into great detail on my blood test results as well as all the symptoms I was experiencing.

There was no pressure at all. Dr Albert talked me through what I could expect if I started testosterone replacement as well as how long it would take to see the optimum benefits. He also explained that they do free follow up blood work to track my progress and make any adjustments to the prescriptions as needed. They didnt rush me at all and there was no pressure.

I started my testosterone replacement therapy the second week of July 2015. During the first few months I did have a few questions and Dr Kauf was always available or promptly returned my call to answer my questions. 5 Stars for personal attention and follow up.

After 3 months of being on testosterone replacement therapy I received a call from the Chicagoland Men's Health office to schedule my free 3 month follow up blood work and Dr Appt. I met again with Dr Albert and Dr Kauf and we went into great detail reviewing my blood work and also talking about the benefits I was experiencing. Both Dr Kauf and Dr Albert are both in very good physical shape and we even talked about supplements, workout options and eating habits to loose more fat and gain more muscle. They are both really knowledgeable guys and I enjoy meeting with them.

THE RESULTS – I guess is does come down to the results.

– After starting testosterone replacement therapy, I immediately experienced a big increase in sex drive and sexual performance. After 6 months now, this benefit has gotten better and better!

– 3-4 weeks after starting I started to notice more energy and less fatigue and every week I notice more and more energy. I dont get tired in the middle of the day anymore.

– Its been a little over 6 months and Ive lost 25+ pounds of fat and gained easily 10 pounds of muscle. I do workout 3 x a week and also do yoga. My gut is almost gone and Im shooting for a 6 pack for this spring.

– I can now sleep 8 hours strait and wake up feeling great and well rested.

In the beginning I was a bit skeptical about starting testosterone replacement therapy but looking back at my decision, it was 100% the right decision. I feel like Im 25 years old again (Im 45).

5 stars for Dr Kauf, Dr Albert and Chicagoland Men's Health.

I have to start with I never leave reviews, positive or negative but, my experience with Chicagoland Men's Health has been awesome!

I previously tried Testosterone Replacement Therapy(TRT) with an out of state TRT center. The experience was okay but, lacked personal attention. I went to Chicagoland Men's Health after hearing commercials on a local sports radio show. I called and made an appointment to talk about the issues I had been having. I was surprised at how quickly I got an appointment and more surprised to meet directly with Dr. Kauf.

We discussed what to expect; losing some belly fat, better sleep and generally feeling better, stereotypical stuff. Due to advertised price, I fully expected to be pressured to add services or additional therapy. I also expected Dr. Kauf to pass me to a staff member once I started the program. Neither happened; I received my meds within 3 days of payment and Dr. Kauf followed up personally with a phone call to ensure I had received everything as expected. Dr. Kauf has taken this personal approach since I've been on the program.

Dr. Kauf followed up about 4 weeks after starting the program to ask me to come in to check my blood work, scheduling the second visit was tough due to my schedule however, Dr. Kauf offered to have a phlebotomist come to me. After receiving my blood work Dr. Kauf called to let me know my cholesterol levels were high(LDL), he told me to make sure I let my Physician know and due to my body's metabolism, I could reduce my TRT dosages. I was happy to have another source looking at my cholesterol although I didn't expect it and I appreciate how thorough Chicagoland Men's health is..

The last and most important thing to me is I've been on TRT with Chicagoland Men's Health for about 6 months, I've lost about 12lbs, my waist has shrunk from 34" to a 30" and my muscle tone hasn't been this good in 15 years.

Sorry for the long review but, Dr. Kauf and his team are great, they earned it.

Over the past two years I had witnessed a significant decline in my mental and physical health. I had developed a long list of symptoms that I generally attributed to "stress".

I gained weight I found myself less and less motivated to go to the gym, but with the metabolism of a cadaver it's hard to imagine being motivated to do anything. Of course the persistent fatigue didn't help either. It would take me nearly 2 hours of steady coffee to be able to 'face the world'. By the time I hit the gym at 6, I was soo exhausted just from living my life that the last thing on my mind was exercise. Working out became a stressor, tapping what precious energy I had left at the end of the day. I would get "cardio head" from the slightest exertion, and I had to plan around my workouts. My entire life became about timing my day so that I would have time to recover from it.

I eventually developed insomnia and suffered from poor sleep quality. I would get 4-5 hours of sleep per night on average. I never really had trouble falling asleep (I was soo damn tired all the time), but I would often wake up at 2 or 3am and not be able to return to bed.

But by FAR my worst symptom was the cognitive impairment. Some people call it 'brain fog', to me it felt like cotton was stuffed in my head. I wasn't as sharp as I used to be, I struggled to recall words, and it always felt like I wasn't firing on all cylinders.

After dealing with an ever increasing and worsening list of symptoms, I finally found the root cause. Within 3 days of my first treatment I was off all other medication. My depression and insomnia were gone and I had more energy than I knew what to do with. Within a week I had lost 5 lbs, and increased my bench, squat, and deadlifts by 20%. I honestly feel like I'm half my age, which my wife was of course thrilled about. I'm sharp as a shark's tooth, and haven't been this clear mentally in years. I now look forward to my workouts, and my work.
