TRT in Clearwater

The starting price is $199 a month. After your labs are back, Morgan Colee, PA, reviews them with you and explains which plan fits and what it will cost; nothing is decided before that conversation.

How do you get from Clearwater to Padgett Medical Center?

Take Gulf to Bay Boulevard east onto the Courtney Campbell Causeway, then pick up the Veterans Expressway north to the Linebaugh Avenue exit. From downtown Clearwater that's about 22 miles, roughly 35 minutes without traffic.

The clinic is on the Tampa side of the bay but on the west edge of the city, so you never touch downtown Tampa. The causeway is the variable: a crash or an evening backup across the water can add a lot of time, and the Veterans is a toll road.

North Clearwater is a different story. From around Countryside and the corner of US 19 and SR 580, you can skip the causeway entirely: SR 580 east into Oldsmar, Forest Lakes Boulevard, then Linebaugh Avenue through Westchase. That's about 13 miles, roughly 25 minutes without traffic. From the beach, you add the Memorial Causeway into downtown first, and the trip from Pier 60 comes to about 24 miles, close to 40 minutes.

Is telehealth a better fit for Clearwater men?

Often, yes. If crossing the bay means taking an afternoon off, a video visit gives you the same medically supervised care. The requirements are simple: be physically in Florida during the visit and show a valid Florida driver's license or state ID on camera.

Clearwater's workday is spread out. Men work the resorts and restaurants on Clearwater Beach, the Morton Plant Hospital campus, the offices and stores along US 19 and Countryside, and plenty cross the causeway every day to jobs in Westchase or near the airport. If you're one of those commuters, an in-person visit can be easy: the clinic is only a few minutes off the Veterans, and it's open until 7 PM on Wednesdays.

Late winter and spring add their own wrinkle: spring training at BayCare Ballpark and the seasonal visitors on the beach put extra cars on Clearwater's roads, which is one more reason some men book those months by video.

How do labs work when you live in Pinellas?

Labs are the first step, and they're what the plan is built on. Your provider orders them and tells you how to get them done; when you book, ask about the easiest option from Clearwater so you aren't crossing the bay just for a blood draw.

Follow-up labs come on a schedule your provider sets, so planning them into your month matters as much as the first round. For what the first visit and labs involve, see what to expect at a TRT clinic.

Where can Clearwater men stay active?

The Courtney Campbell Causeway Trail runs right alongside your route to the clinic, a paved, separated path over the bay for walkers, runners and cyclists. In town, the Pinellas Trail cuts through downtown Clearwater, and Moccasin Lake Nature Park offers shaded trails a few miles east of downtown.

And then there's the beach: an early walk on the sand near Pier 60, before the crowds arrive, is an easy habit to build. Whatever you do for fitness, tell your provider about it at your visit.

What other Pinellas communities does Padgett see?

Safety Harbor is about 13 miles from the clinic and a quick 23 minutes, and Dunedin about 16 miles and 30 minutes, both a little closer than downtown Clearwater. Largo and Palm Harbor men book with us too, in person or by telehealth; see our Largo and Palm Harbor pages.
