Men's health encompasses far more than an annual physical. Dr. Akers provides comprehensive primary care designed for the specific health needs, risk factors, and goals of male patients. Explore the services below to understand how each one works and why it matters.

A comprehensive annual exam for men includes a full physical, blood pressure evaluation, cardiovascular risk assessment, lab work, weight and BMI review, and age-appropriate cancer screenings. Dr. Akers uses this visit as the foundation of your ongoing care relationship, establishing your baseline and identifying anything that needs attention before it becomes a problem.
Low testosterone affects energy, libido, mood, muscle mass, and cognitive function. Dr. Akers evaluates total and free testosterone alongside other relevant hormones, interprets results in the context of your symptoms, and discusses all treatment options including lifestyle changes, supplementation, and testosterone replacement therapy when clinically appropriate.
Heart disease is the leading cause of death in men. Dr. Akers evaluates your blood pressure, cholesterol, blood sugar, family history, and lifestyle to calculate your true cardiovascular risk and build a prevention plan before a cardiac event occurs. Regular monitoring and early intervention are the most effective tools available.
Prostate cancer screening with a PSA (prostate-specific antigen) blood test is recommended beginning at age 50 for average-risk men, or earlier for those with family history or other risk factors. Dr. Akers discusses the benefits and limitations of screening with you so you can make an informed decision based on your specific profile.
Erectile dysfunction is often an early indicator of cardiovascular disease, diabetes, or hormonal imbalance. Dr. Akers evaluates the underlying cause rather than simply prescribing a medication. Addressing the root issue often resolves the symptom while also protecting your broader health.
Men are significantly less likely to seek mental health care, leading to higher rates of untreated depression and anxiety. Dr. Akers provides confidential, non-judgmental mental health support including evaluation, management, and referrals when specialized care is needed. Your mental health is part of your overall health.
Excess weight raises your risk of diabetes, heart disease, sleep apnea, joint pain, and hormonal imbalance. Dr. Akers offers physician-supervised weight management including GLP-1 therapy, nutritional guidance, and metabolic evaluation designed to produce real, lasting results rather than temporary fixes.
Men with family history, excess weight, or elevated blood sugar are at significant risk for type 2 diabetes. Dr. Akers screens proactively and manages established diabetes with a comprehensive approach including A1C monitoring, medication management, and lifestyle coaching tailored to your specific situation.
Confidential STD screening is available as part of your routine care. Dr. Akers provides screening for HIV, hepatitis B and C, syphilis, gonorrhea, chlamydia, and other infections, along with treatment and guidance when needed. All conversations are private and non-judgmental.
Poor sleep and ADHD are underdiagnosed in adult men and significantly affect performance, mood, and quality of life. Dr. Akers evaluates sleep concerns including insomnia and sleep apnea screening, and provides comprehensive ADHD evaluation and management for adults who have never been properly assessed.
Why It Matters Men's Health
Deserves Better
Dr. Akers providing preventive care
01 Early Detection Saves Lives

Most serious health problems in men develop silently over years before producing symptoms. Elevated blood pressure, rising blood sugar, and declining testosterone rarely hurt until they cause a heart attack, diabetes, or significant hormonal disruption. Regular preventive care with Dr. Akers means catching these changes when they are still reversible.

02 Vaccines Protect Your Whole Life

Testosterone naturally declines with age, but it also declines faster with chronic stress, poor sleep, obesity, and certain medications. Low testosterone affects your energy, strength, mood, and sexual health in ways that compound over time. Dr. Akers evaluates your hormonal health as a standard component of your primary care, not an afterthought.

03 One Visit, Complete Protection

Seeing a different provider every visit means starting over every time. Dr. Akers maintains a continuous relationship with her male patients, tracking trends in your labs, symptoms, and vitals over time. That continuity is what allows her to catch changes before they become problems.

Hormonal Health Testosterone and How It Affects You

Testosterone is not just about libido. It regulates energy, body composition, bone density, red blood cell production, mood, and cognitive function. When levels drop, the effects are often subtle at first, fatigue that does not resolve with rest, difficulty maintaining muscle, reduced motivation, and increased body fat, before becoming more pronounced.

Dr. Akers evaluates testosterone in the context of your full hormone panel and symptoms. Treatment is never one-size-fits-all. Some men benefit from lifestyle changes and sleep optimization. Others are candidates for testosterone replacement therapy. Dr. Akers walks you through every option and what each means for your health and goals before any decision is made.

Cardiovascular Care Protecting Your Heart, Proactively

Cardiovascular disease kills more men than any other condition, and most of the risk factors are silent. High blood pressure causes no symptoms until it causes damage. High LDL cholesterol presents no warning before a cardiac event. Dr. Akers tracks your cardiovascular markers at every visit and uses the full picture, including your age, family history, lifestyle, and labs, to determine your real risk and what to do about it.

Risk reduction is not just about medication. Dr. Akers builds personalized prevention plans that include lifestyle optimization, dietary guidance, stress management, and medical management when clinically indicated. The goal is to never have a cardiac event, not to recover from one.

Frequently Asked Questions Men's Health
Questions Answered
Most healthy adult men should have a comprehensive annual wellness exam. Men with chronic conditions, cardiovascular risk factors, or hormonal concerns may need more frequent monitoring. Dr. Akers determines the right schedule for you based on your specific health profile and any findings from your most recent visit.
For average-risk men, PSA screening is typically discussed starting at age 50. Men with a family history of prostate cancer or who are Black should discuss beginning screening at age 40 to 45. Dr. Akers will review your personal risk factors and help you decide what is right for you based on current screening guidelines.
Common signs include fatigue that does not improve with rest, decreased libido, difficulty building or maintaining muscle, increased body fat particularly around the abdomen, mood changes, brain fog, and reduced motivation. These symptoms can also result from other conditions, which is why proper lab testing and clinical evaluation are essential before drawing conclusions.
Often, yes. Erectile dysfunction can be an early sign of cardiovascular disease, diabetes, or hormonal imbalance. It is not just a quality-of-life issue. Dr. Akers evaluates the underlying cause so that appropriate treatment addresses both the symptom and any contributing health condition rather than simply masking the problem.
TRT is appropriate when low testosterone is confirmed through lab testing and is causing significant symptoms that do not resolve with lifestyle changes. Dr. Akers evaluates you comprehensively before recommending TRT and discusses the benefits, risks, and alternatives in detail so you can make a fully informed decision.
Yes. Dr. Akers treats anxiety, depression, stress, and ADHD as part of comprehensive men's health care.

A standard men's health panel includes CBC, CMP, lipid panel, A1C, thyroid function, PSA (age-appropriate), testosterone, vitamin D, and other markers based on your health history and symptoms. Dr. Akers tailors the panel to your specific clinical needs rather than ordering a one-size-fits-all screen that may miss what matters for you.

Dr. Akers provides confidential screening for HIV, hepatitis B and C, syphilis, gonorrhea, chlamydia, herpes, and other infections as part of routine preventive care.

Annual wellness exams are covered at 100% by most insurance plans under the Affordable Care Act.
