Ask who will evaluate you, how to verify credentials, what exact product and use are proposed, which pharmacy is involved, what evidence and risks apply, how follow-up works, and what the total cost includes.
How will you confirm that sermorelin, tesamorelin, or BPC-157 is appropriate for me before prescribing?
A legitimate Scottsdale practitioner answers with a specific intake protocol: comprehensive metabolic panel, IGF-1, medical history review, and in many cases prior imaging or specialist consult notes. If the answer is "we have a questionnaire" or "fill out the intake online and we'll ship to you," you are not speaking with a clinic. You are speaking with a sales operation.
How do you verify the current status of the exact product you recommend?
Ask the clinic to name the substance and formulation, explain whether the product is FDA-approved or compounded, identify the dispensing pharmacy, and show how it monitors risks. A broad legal-status answer is not enough.
Who oversees my follow-up labs and dose adjustments: you, a nurse, or a third-party telehealth platform?
Ask the clinician to explain why the proposed evaluation and follow-up fit the exact product and your circumstances. Confirm risks, alternatives, monitoring responsibilities, stop criteria, and how to obtain your records.
