What We Do - and What We Don’t Do
Healthcare works best when expectations are clear. At The Y Factor, we believe transparency about how we practice medicine is just as important as the services we offer.
This page exists to clearly outline what you can expect from us—and what you should not expect. Clear boundaries protect patients, providers, and the quality of care.
Why Clear Boundaries Matter in Medical Care
Men seeking care often arrive with:
- frustration from prior experiences
- preconceived ideas about treatment
- expectations shaped by online marketing
Without clear boundaries, care becomes reactive rather than intentional. Defining what we do—and do not do—ensures that care remains ethical, safe, and effective.
What We Do
Provide Physician-Led, Diagnostic-Based Care
All care at The Y Factor operates under physician oversight. We prioritize evaluation and diagnostics before treatment whenever appropriate.
This ensures that care decisions are informed and individualized.
Treat the Root Cause When Possible
When a condition has an identifiable and modifiable cause, we focus on addressing it rather than masking symptoms.
Not all causes are reversible, but understanding them guides smarter treatment choices.
Offer Evidence-Based Therapies
We recommend treatments supported by medical evidence and clinical experience. Novel or emerging therapies are discussed transparently, including limitations.
Support Long-Term Health and Safety
Our goal is sustainable improvement, not short-term symptom suppression at the expense of long-term health.
What We Don’t Do
No Assembly-Line Medicine
We do not operate high-volume clinics designed to maximize throughput rather than outcomes.
No Automatic Prescriptions
Medications are prescribed only when clinically appropriate—not because they were requested.
No One-Size-Fits-All Protocols
Each patient is evaluated individually. Protocol-driven care without personalization is avoided.
No Guarantees or Medical Shortcuts
Medicine does not offer guarantees. We do not promise outcomes or bypass evaluation to deliver treatments faster.

Who We May Not Be a Good Fit For
We may not be the right fit for patients seeking:
- immediate prescriptions without evaluation
- performance-enhancing drug use
- guarantees of results
- purely cosmetic outcomes without medical context
Why This Approach Benefits Patients
Clear boundaries allow us to:
- focus on quality
- reduce unnecessary interventions
- protect patient safety
- build trust over time
Patients who align with this approach often experience better outcomes and satisfaction.
