“The best”
I came to Dr. Farris wanting to come off anabolic steroids and get back to a natural state. My levels were through the roof and I had a long road to recovery and get my body back to normal. He put me on a regimen to taper off of the steroids in a safe and healthy way. After the regimen my bodies natural test level was very low and my estrogen was high. Dr. Farris put me on a prescription testosterone and closely monitored my levels and got me on a level to maintain a healthy and normal level.

“Health and Energy at 60”
Dr. Gerry has helped me greatly by analyzing my physical condition as I age and advice regarding an elbow injury due to a biking accident several years ago. His suggestions regarding supplements and diet have been very beneficial to my overall health. I have greater energy, less allergies and less forgetfulness. He has also suggested exercises that have improved my overall body strength, stamina and reduced body fat.

“An Outstanding Medical and Health Resource”
Dr Farris has been such a pleasure to work with and learn from. I would recommend Dr Farris to anyone looking for overall health or to optimize their life experience. His expertise with high performance athletics is a major plus for those looking to push to the top end of their natural ability range.
Whether you just want to be healthy and happy or competitive and winning, I highly recommend Dr Farris for both.

“My life and health changed with Dr. Farris”
I came to Dr. Farris with menopausal symptoms and a desire to increase my strength and over all athletic performance in the gym. Within three months of my first visit and starting on hormonal replacement, I was leaner, better at the gym and hormonally, my hot flashes had stopped, I was sleeping better and my overall health had improved.
Dr. Farris provides a personal approach to my overall health and well being, I never feel rushed, he listens and addresses concerns with an educated response.

“Excellent”
Dr Farris not only studies the leading exercise science research, but he practices it as well. It's nice to have someone in your corner that practices what he preaches.
