Core Medical Group TRT Reviews: Real Cost, Fine Print, and What We Verified

By TRT Provider Guide · Last verified: October 2026 (sources checked October 7, 2026) · Public-source profile, not a hands-on treatment review · Editorial research; not clinician-reviewed

Last updated: October 8, 2026.

Core Medical Group TRT reviews show praise for coordination, but don't settle care quality. Two Core pages list different prices ($149 vs. $189 every five weeks), one mentions a 12-month pricing contract, and Core requires local exam reports. It may suit readers seeking coordination; get the offer and full terms in writing first.

That last part matters more than any star rating. Below, we show you what Core's "monthly" price really adds up to over a year — and the current cancellation rules we couldn't confirm.

Core may be a good fit if you:

• Want one person to call, not a rotating help desk
• Like a published package price that includes testosterone, supplies, and shipping
• Are a veteran or first responder looking for a team that speaks your language
• Don't mind arranging physical exam reports on the schedule Core requires

Look elsewhere first if you:

• Need to see one clear, final price and cancellation terms before you hand over a card
• Want insurance-billed, brand-name, FDA-approved testosterone
• Are trying to have a baby in the next year or two
• Haven't had low testosterone confirmed yet

Sources for the findings above: Core's five-week offer, signup offer, telehealth requirements, booking process, and Florida license record.

Is Core Medical Group legit for TRT?

Yes, Core Medical Group appears to be a real medical practice, not a pop-up website. Its medical director holds an active Florida medical license with no discipline on that record, and the BBB lists an April 2012 business-start date. Being legitimate is not the same as being transparent, though, and that's where the questions start.

Here's what we checked ourselves on October 7, 2026:

• The medical director is real and licensed. Core names Dr. Krzysztof Kacprzak, MD ("Dr. K") as its medical director and Chief of Medicine. Florida's Department of Health shows license ME136533 as Clear/Active, expiring January 31, 2028, with no discipline on file and no public complaint. The Florida record is dated October 7, 2026; it does not verify licenses in other states.
• Named staff and listed offices. Core's team page names nurse practitioners and physician assistants. Its site lists offices in Boca Raton (FL), Lexington (MA), Syosset (NY), and Hampstead (NC), plus locations in Ohio and Mississippi. (Core locations; team)
• A real business history. The BBB lists the business as started in April 2012, organized as an LLC (also known as Core Medical Palm Beach LLC), with Sidney Gordon as manager. Core's site names him CEO and founder. (BBB business details)
• Labs come before treatment. Core's published process puts bloodwork and a telehealth exam before any care plan. That's how evaluation should start; the repeat-testing question is covered below. (Core's process)

What a license check doesn't tell you: who will actually prescribe for you, whether that person is licensed in your state, or how good the care is. A license is the floor, not the ceiling.

Want to check your own prescriber? Ask Core for the name, then look it up in two places: the federal NPI Registry and your state's medical or nursing board. The NPI record helps match identity; the state board is the source for current licensure.

Wait — which "Core Medical Group" reviews are you reading?

Two different companies use almost the same name. Core Medical Group (coremedicalgrp.com, Boca Raton, Florida) is the hormone and TRT practice. CoreMedical Group (coremedicalgroup.com, Salem, New Hampshire) is a healthcare staffing agency that places traveling nurses and therapists.

Reviews about that staffing company's recruiters describe employment services, not testosterone care. Check the company's staffing website before counting a review toward Core's TRT reputation.

Quick tip: If a review mentions a "recruiter" or "travel assignment," check the business name, address, and website. A mention of a contract alone does not identify the staffing company — Core also advertises a pricing contract.

The right TRT provider is not the same for every person — it depends on whether low testosterone has been properly evaluated, your symptoms and health history, your fertility plans, your state, your insurance or cash-pay preference, your treatment-format preference, your budget, and whether online or in-person care is the better starting point. Some situations belong with primary care, urology, endocrinology, reproductive urology, or urgent or emergency care when the symptoms warrant it. Because a general answer cannot resolve those for you, use TRT Provider Guide's Find My TRT Path tool to map your situation to the right care route and the questions to ask before you pay.

Find My TRT Path is educational. It doesn't diagnose low testosterone, decide eligibility, or guarantee a prescription. See our privacy policy for site data practices.

What do Core Medical Group TRT reviews actually say?

Core's own website shows glowing reviews that praise one coordinator who answers, simple fees, and a veteran-to-veteran feel. The BBB shows an A+ business grade, zero formal complaints, and one 1-star customer review from 2023, while a Birdeye listing matched to the Boca Raton practice shows 4.9 stars. These sources measure different things and do not establish a representative pattern of TRT outcomes.

What the reviews Core posts say

Core displays reviews labeled as Google reviews on its homepage. Remember: you're seeing the reviews Core publishes on its own site, and every one we saw was dated January 2023 to March 2024. Nothing newer in that displayed set. (Core's Success Stories)

Three themes come up again and again:

• One person, start to finish. "I am talking directly to the same person." — Aaron M., testimonial published on coremedicalgrp.com, December 2023
• Fees that felt simple. "I just paid a very reasonable one time fee." — Patrick S., testimonial published on coremedicalgrp.com, March 2024
• An easy flow. "Blood work, telehealth doctor appointment then medication to my door." — Derek G., testimonial published on coremedicalgrp.com, February 2023

These tell you what the quoted reviewers value. They don't tell you about medical results, side effects, or what happens if you want to cancel.

What the BBB shows

The BBB numbers are easy to mix up, so here they are separately (checked October 7, 2026):

That single review is from a spouse who describes serious mood changes after her husband, a veteran with PTSD, started testosterone. It's one unverified account and does not establish that testosterone caused those changes. But it raises a point worth saying plainly, because Core markets heavily to veterans and writes about PTSD on its military page:

TRT is not a substitute for care for PTSD, depression, or anger. If you're dealing with any of those, get mental health care too, and tell your prescriber about it before starting. If you're a veteran in crisis, dial 988 and press 1 for the Veterans Crisis Line. (VA: PTSD treatment)

What the 4.9-star listing actually covers

The Birdeye listing for Core's Boca Raton address links to coremedicalgrp.com. Our latest October 7 capture showed 4.9/5 from 108 reviews, comprising 104 Google entries and four Foursquare entries; an earlier capture showed 107. That is a listing for the wellness practice, not the staffing company.

It is not a verified TRT-only sample. Do not add it to the BBB review count or treat either platform as proof of clinical quality. The BBB figures above come from its separate business profile, customer reviews, and complaints page.

Some of the voices promoting Core are also its business partners

Core's homepage calls its "Strategic Partners" current patients who share their stories. Its Strategic Partners page names several veterans and fitness figures. It also lists Mel Chancey and Nick Koumalatsos as managing partners of Core Medical. (Core's Strategic Partners page)

That doesn't make their stories untrue. It means they have a management relationship with the business. Weigh what they say the way you'd weigh a company spokesperson.

How much does Core Medical Group TRT cost?

Two Core program pages show different prices: one lists $189 every five weeks with a 12-month contract for pricing, and the other lists $149 every five weeks or a $1,320 annual plan. Under our 11-payment model, the recurring program and listed entry charges total roughly $1,700 to $2,270. Those are illustrative subtotals before unconfirmed costs, including outside physicals and follow-up labs, not a complete first-year quote.

The two price pages, side by side

The newer page ($189) was updated more recently. We can't tell you which price Core will quote you. That's the first thing to ask.

Why "every 5 weeks" isn't "per month"

This trips people up. A five-week cycle is 35 days, not 30. So there are about 10.4 five-week periods in a year, not 12.

If you pay at enrollment and every 35 days after that, there would be 11 payments in the first 365 days. That is our billing model; Core's actual payment dates and supplied treatment duration need confirmation.

Here's what that means in plain dollars:

How we calculated: program payments on day 0 and every 35 days after, price unchanged all year, plus one listed entry charge. "Monthly equivalent" = five-week price × (365 ÷ 35) ÷ 12; this annualized program amount differs from cash paid during the first 365 days. The table does not include unconfirmed fees, repeat testing, or any additional insurer/lab bill. Real billing dates and your written agreement are what count.

Three costs to confirm beyond the listed program price

1. Your physical exams. Core asks remote patients for a physical exam report every 8 months, or as its medical team recommends. Ask who can complete the report and what the visit costs. If your first one is at sign-up and the eight-month schedule applies, the next lands around month 8. That could mean two visits in year one, at whatever your doctor or insurance charges.
2. Follow-up bloodwork. Neither price page says how often you'll need repeat labs, or whether they're included. Monitoring labs are a normal part of safe TRT, so ask.
3. Anything extra. ED medication, peptides, and weight-loss drugs are listed separately on the same page.

The annual plan's math doesn't quite add up

The $1,320 plan says you'll "receive 2.5 orders per year" of "20 weeks at a time." Those published quantities multiply to 50 weeks, or 350 days — 15 days short of 365. The page also says it replaces "12 orders per year" — but at five weeks each, a year contains about 10.4 five-week periods, not 12. And it says you "save $100," while ten five-week orders at $149 would cost $1,490.

The public page does not establish a full year's supply or a verified saving. Ask Core to show you, in writing, exactly how many weeks the $1,320 covers.

The "flexible" vs. "12-month contract" question

Both pages describe the program as coming "without the long-term financial commitment." The same pages mention a "12 Month Contract for Pricing" and a "12-month auto-shipping program."

Those may simply mean your price is locked for a year. Or they may mean you're agreeing to 12 months. We couldn't verify the agreement that applies to this offer, so we can't tell you. Before you pay, ask: "If I stop in month 3, what do I owe?" Get the answer by email.

The upside: medication and shipping are bundled

Here's the part Core gets right. The Male Excel and Hone plans compared below charge separately for membership and medication. Core's five-week price bundles the testosterone, syringes, needles, and shipping into one number. If you hate separate medication line items, that's real value — once the full quote is clear.

What's in Core's TRT bundle — and is it FDA-approved?

Core's published TRT bundle lists three different medicines: testosterone, anastrozole, and enclomiphene. The current program pages do not identify the exact testosterone product, its approval status, or the dispensing pharmacy for that offer. Anastrozole and enclomiphene are separate medicines whose purposes and approval questions need their own explanation.

Let's take them one at a time.

Testosterone

The signup page lists "5 mL Vial of Testosterone." That tells you it's an injectable. It doesn't tell you the type of testosterone, the manufacturer, or whether it's an FDA-approved product or a compounded one.

Why that matters: An FDA-approved drug has been reviewed by the FDA for safety, effectiveness, and quality. A compounded drug is made by mixing or changing drug ingredients and is not FDA-approved — the FDA doesn't review it before it's sold. Compounding can be legal and appropriate. But you deserve to know which one you're getting. (FDA: Compounding Q&A)

Core also uses the phrase "bioidentical hormone therapy." That phrase alone does not establish whether the dispensed product is FDA-approved or compounded, or establish its quality. (FDA: review of compounded bioidentical hormones)

Anastrozole

Anastrozole lowers estrogen. Its FDA-approved uses are for certain breast cancers in women after menopause. Using an FDA-approved anastrozole product alongside TRT in men is off-label, meaning a doctor is using it for something it isn't approved for. (DailyMed: Arimidex label)

That's not automatically wrong. But it's a real medicine with its own side effects, and Core lists it in the published bundle. A compounded anastrozole preparation would not itself be FDA-approved. Ask: "Why would I need it, will you check my estrogen first, and can I skip it?"

For comparison, Male Excel's published protocol says "No estrogen blockers." Different clinics, different philosophies.

Enclomiphene

Enclomiphene is a pill that can nudge your body to make more of its own testosterone. (FDA clinical evidence review) The FDA lists enclomiphene citrate as a bulk substance still "under evaluation" for compounding (list updated May 14, 2026). Being on that list is not an approval, and a compounded preparation is not FDA-approved. (FDA 503A bulk substances list)

It's also not testosterone. Taking both at once is a specific clinical choice, and you should hear your prescriber's reason for it.

Which pharmacy?

Core says your medication ships from "one of our multiple pharmacies" and that "all prescriptions are processed by a US Pharmacy." Those current process pages do not identify your dispensing pharmacy. Older Core material mentions an APS Pharmacy testosterone partnership; that does not confirm today's dispensing pharmacy.

Before you authorize a medication order, ask for:

• The pharmacy's legal name and state license
• The exact drug name and strength on the label
• A phone number to reach the pharmacist

One more thing on the same price page

Core's program page also lists separate weight-loss options, including retatrutide. The FDA states retatrutide cannot be used in compounding under federal law, is not part of any FDA-approved drug, and has not been found safe and effective for any condition. The FDA has warned telehealth companies for marketing it. (FDA: unapproved GLP-1 drugs)

This isn't part of TRT, and we have no information that Core has dispensed it to anyone. But seeing it on the same page is a reason to ask careful questions about anything you're offered.

Core's heart-protection language also deserves scrutiny: it is not a verified benefit of Core's service. FDA requires blood-pressure warnings on testosterone products. Ask how your cardiovascular history and blood pressure will be assessed. (Core's men's HRT page; FDA labeling update)

How does Core's TRT process work, and do you need to go in person?

Core describes a six-step process: a coordinator call where fees are taken, bloodwork at a local lab, a telehealth exam, a written care plan, a dedicated patient coordinator, and medication shipped to your home. It's mostly remote, but not a promise of no outside visits. Core describes local or mobile blood draws and a physical exam report every 8 months, or as its medical team recommends. (Booking process; telehealth requirements)

The six steps, in plain English

1. Onboarding call. You talk to a coordinator, ask questions, and pay the new-patient and bloodwork fees. (Core also advertises a free consultation; confirm when charges begin.)
2. Bloodwork. You go to a local lab, or Core may send a mobile phlebotomist. Core says recent labs (under a year old) may count if they include the tests it needs.
3. Telehealth exam. A Core clinician reviews your results with you at a telehealth exam.
4. Written recommendations. The medical team decides whether TRT fits — or whether something else is going on.
5. Your patient coordinator. One person becomes your link to the medical team and the pharmacy.
6. Medication shipped home. From one of Core's pharmacies, straight to your door.

Plus: a physical exam report every 8 months, or as Core's medical team recommends.

The trade-off we want to be upfront about

Core does not promise a never-leave-home program. Its telehealth page describes local bloodwork and a physical exam report every 8 months, or as its medical team recommends; its booking page also allows for a visiting phlebotomist. If zero outside appointments is your top priority, check the lab and physical-exam requirements of Male Excel or Hone Health before choosing either — they do not establish a no-outside-visits alternative.

But here's why that trade-off may actually work in your favor. Testosterone can raise blood pressure and red blood cell counts, and the FDA requires blood pressure warnings on testosterone products. (FDA, February 2025) A physical exam can add useful information alongside labs. Ask which checks Core requires and who reviews the report.

Which states does Core serve?

Core says it can treat patients in 47 states but doesn't name the three it doesn't serve. It also says seven-day appointment openings are "limited to certain US states."

One useful detail: Male Excel doesn't serve Alabama, Alaska, Arkansas, Connecticut, Hawaii, Idaho, Louisiana, Minnesota, Mississippi, New Hampshire, or Rhode Island. If you live in one of those, ask Core to confirm whether it serves your state; it also lists a Mississippi location. A listed office or state count does not confirm that your proposed service and prescriber are available there. (Male Excel's state list; Core locations)

The telehealth rule that expires December 31, 2026

Testosterone is a Schedule III controlled substance, meaning it legally requires a valid prescription. (DEA) The current federal flexibility allows DEA-registered practitioners to prescribe Schedule II–V medicines without a prior in-person examination through qualifying audio-video telemedicine encounters, subject to federal and state law. It runs through December 31, 2026. (DEA, December 2025)

What happens after that isn't settled as of this update. Ask any online provider, Core included: "What changes for me in January 2027?" Ask whether your physical report would meet any future requirement; a lab visit or outside physical is not automatically the examination required for controlled-substance prescribing.

---

Will Core properly diagnose low testosterone?

Core's published process requires bloodwork and a clinician review before any care plan, which is the right start. The current program pages do not establish whether Core confirms low testosterone with a second early-morning test, as the Endocrine Society guideline recommends. Ask before your labs are drawn.

Here's the standard you should hold any TRT provider to:

• The Endocrine Society says diagnosis should rest on symptoms or signs of low testosterone plus testosterone levels that are low consistently, confirmed with repeat morning fasting blood tests. (Endocrine Society guideline)
• The American Urological Association uses a total testosterone below 300 ng/dL as a reasonable cutoff to support a diagnosis — measured on two separate early-morning tests. (FDA summary of the diagnostic guidance; AUA current guideline catalog)

Total testosterone is all the testosterone in your blood. Morning matters because levels are usually highest early in the day. One low number, a quiz, or "I'm tired" is not a diagnosis.

Core's lab page says it tests "testosterone, estrogen, cortisol, thyroid levels, and more." It doesn't list the full current TRT panel or a diagnostic repeat-testing rule. So ask:

• Is the draw done in the morning?
• If my first result is low, do you confirm it with a second test? Who pays for it?
• If my results are normal, do I get any of my fees back?

If low testosterone hasn't been looked into at all, it may make sense to start with primary care. A doctor can check for causes — like medications, sleep apnea, or a pituitary problem — that TRT wouldn't fix. Our guide to how online and local TRT care compare can help you decide where to begin.

Is Core Medical Group a good choice if you want kids?

Core's current men's TRT page does not explain a fertility plan. That's a gap, because testosterone can lower or even stop sperm production. If you want children in the next year or two, see a urologist or fertility-focused doctor before starting TRT anywhere.

The Endocrine Society advises against starting testosterone therapy in men who are planning to have children soon. (Endocrine Society guideline)

You might wonder whether the enclomiphene in Core's bundle protects fertility. Don't assume that. A medicine on a package list is not a fertility plan, and nobody can promise your fertility will be preserved or come back on a set timeline. That conversation belongs with a doctor who knows your goals.

Read more in our TRT and fertility guide.

Core's current follow-up lab schedule, refill timetable, and clinician response time also remain unverified; ask about them before paying.

Does the process sound right for you? If you're comfortable with Core's lab and physical-report requirements, request a consultation from Core and confirm your state, your price, and your prescriber's name before paying anything.

---

What monitoring and refills should you expect?

TRT monitoring means regular check-ins, blood tests, and blood-pressure checks, with prostate monitoring based on age and risk. Core's public pages mention "regular check-ups" and its physical-report requirement, but we couldn't verify a current TRT lab schedule, refill timetable, or clinician response time from the program pages reviewed. Get those answers in writing.

Here's what good monitoring usually includes, according to the Endocrine Society's full guideline:

• Hematocrit (the share of your blood made of red blood cells) checked before starting, again 3 to 6 months in, and then about once a year. If it gets too high, your prescriber may need to pause or change treatment.
• PSA (prostate-specific antigen, a blood test related to prostate health) and prostate checks, depending on your age and risk.
• Testosterone levels, with the timing of testing set by your clinician for the form of testosterone prescribed.
• A check of whether your symptoms are actually improving.

That's the benchmark. It's not Core's verified current protocol — we couldn't confirm one in the program pages reviewed.

What's new on testosterone labels in 2026

In June 2026, the FDA asked manufacturers to update testosterone labels. The requested changes would remove a long-standing caution about age-related low testosterone, and would limit the prostate cancer contraindication to men with metastatic prostate cancer. The FDA said monitoring and screening should continue. The announcement requested changes; it does not establish that every product label has been updated. (HHS, June 18, 2026)

Separately, Core's men's TRT page lists "better protection against heart disease" as a benefit. The FDA has not said testosterone protects your heart. A large trial called TRAVERSE found no meaningful increase in major heart events in the population studied — that's reassurance about that risk, not proof of protection. It does not establish the same risk for every patient or testosterone product. (FDA labeling review; HHS evidence summary)

Questions to ask about follow-up

• How often will I have labs, and are they included in the five-week price?
• How do I reach a clinician (not just my coordinator) if I have a side effect?
• What has to happen before each refill is approved?
• Who do I call if a shipment is late?

If you have chest pain, trouble breathing, sudden weakness on one side, or other signs of a stroke, skip the coordinator and call 911. New leg swelling and pain also need prompt medical assessment. (CDC: heart attack, stroke, and blood clots)

---

Can you cancel Core? What about refunds and your records?

We couldn't verify a current treatment cancellation policy, refund policy, or auto-shipping agreement in Core's program pages. The linked "Terms & Conditions" page covers text messages; replying STOP stops texts, not your treatment, billing, or shipments. A legacy signup PDF contains an appointment-deposit rule, but we could not confirm that it governs today's program.

That doesn't mean canceling is hard. It means you still need the current rules from Core. So ask for these in writing:

• Minimum term. Is the "12-month contract for pricing" a price lock, or a 12-month commitment?
• Early exit. If I stop in month 3, what do I owe?
• Auto-ship. How do I stop the next shipment, and how many days' notice do you need?
• Refunds. Are the onboarding and lab fees refundable if TRT isn't recommended? What about the annual plan?
• Records. How do I get copies of my labs and prescriptions if I switch providers?

HIPAA generally gives you a right to copies of records held by covered providers and health plans, with limited exceptions. (HHS: Your right to access your records)

Already a Core patient and thinking of leaving? Don't stop medication on your own. Read our guide on how to switch TRT providers so your care doesn't get interrupted.

Who should choose Core — and who shouldn't?

Core may make sense for men who want its advertised dedicated coordinator, a bundled price that includes medication and shipping, and a physical-report requirement. It's a weaker fit if you need posted terms before paying, insurance-billed brand-name testosterone, a fully remote program, or a fertility-first plan.

If you're still unsure which row is you, use Find My TRT Path to map your care route before you call anyone.

If Core isn't your fit: two programs that publish more upfront

If you want to see more pricing and membership terms before you pay, Male Excel and Hone Health both publish useful details. Each fits a different person, and each has a trade-off. You still need to confirm the full quote and the plan that covers your care.

Affiliate disclosure: TRT Provider Guide may earn a commission through some provider links. The links below go directly to official pricing, plan, and policy pages. Commissions don't change our findings — see How We Review TRT Providers.

These are published provider statements, not a test of delivered care. Sources: Male Excel's program, pricing, and terms; Hone's plan comparison, Plus TRT lab schedule, state list, and membership FAQ.

Male Excel — published 60-day check-ins

Male Excel charges a $99 monthly membership that it says includes provider access, check-ins every 60 days, and full blood panels every 6 months. Medication is billed on top, at member pricing. Its testosterone is compounded, offered as daily injections or cream. Male Excel says its testing lab, Excel Medical Labs, is CLIA-certified (certified under federal lab quality standards).

Its cost page also lists a $99 initial consultation; its test page includes the home hormone test in that $99. Published medication examples are $120/month for testosterone injections plus thyroid medication or $132/month for testosterone cream plus thyroid medication, billed every other month. Those examples exclude the $99 membership and shipping and handling; they are package examples, not a recommendation that you need thyroid treatment. Confirm your actual prescription costs before paying.

The trade-off: your true monthly cost is the membership plus medication, so you won't know your total until you see your protocol. And Male Excel says its providers may prescribe before lab results come back when they judge it appropriate. For a new low-testosterone diagnosis, ask how it confirms the diagnosis with a clinical assessment and repeat morning testing before starting TRT. It doesn't serve 11 states, including Mississippi and Alabama.

Its terms allow cancellation but make fees generally nonrefundable. The separate 90-day offer covers three months of membership fees if its stated treatment and lack-of-improvement conditions are met; it is not a refund promise for all treatment costs.

Skip it if: you're trying to conceive, you live in one of its excluded states, or you want an FDA-approved brand product.

Does structured, frequent follow-up sound like what you want? Review Male Excel's published pricing.

Hone Health — published TRT tiers with separate medication costs

Hone's current help pages put men's TRT in Plus at $135/month or Premium at $155/month, with medication extra. Basic at $25/month does not include TRT. Starting tests are $45 for Plus's home kit or $65 for Premium's at-lab panel, with an initial physician consult included. (Plan comparison; Basic exclusions)

It offers injections, cream, and dissolvable troches. Hone says care comes through independent, physician-owned medical groups using its platform. (Hone terms) Its product pages label the featured testosterone cypionate, cream, and troches as compounded and not FDA-approved. Confirm which membership covers the exact product you are offered.

The trade-off: the pieces add up. The detailed Plus plan lists testosterone cypionate from $28 per vial, while the marketing page says from $28/month. Ask which quantity and billing period apply to your prescription.

Confirmatory testing is another charge. Two Plus help pages disagree on the at-lab fee — $45 versus $50 — while both list $80 at home. The Premium plan lists $25 for an at-lab confirmation test when indicated. Follow-up labs and consultations are included in these TRT memberships; Plus publishes first-year labs at months 3, 6, 9, and 12, subject to the clinician's plan.

Hone's membership FAQ says fees continue even when you do not order medication. It describes cancellation at the end of the billing period, while the cancellation policy records cancellation when its form is submitted. Get the effective date confirmed in writing. Request cancellation of pending prescription shipments separately; canceling membership does not stop them automatically. The policy rules out refunds for partial membership months, processed or shipped medication orders, and lab kits once shipped.

What should you ask Core before you pay?

Core directs prospective patients to a coordinator call, and its current program pages leave several buying questions unanswered. Use this call sheet on your first call, write down each answer, and ask for the price and cancellation terms by email. If a blank stays blank, don't assume it's included.

Print this, or copy it into your notes app.

Your Core Medical Group call sheet

Your first-year total: All required entry charges + program payments actually due in the first 365 days + follow-up tests and visits not included + outside physical exams + anything optional you add = your first-year cash cost

Use 11 five-week payments only if Core confirms payment at enrollment and every 35 days after that. For an annual plan, confirm its coverage and all applicable fees.

Keep unknowns as unknowns. A blank isn't a zero.

Got your list? Then you're ready. Core advertises a free consultation. Request a consultation from Core Medical Group, and ask them to email the price and agreement before you authorize any charge.

How we checked Core Medical Group

We read Core's public program, pricing, signup, process, telehealth, team, partner, lab, and terms pages on October 7, 2026. We checked the Chief of Medicine's Florida license record, read Core's BBB records and the matched Birdeye listing, and compared Core with two other providers on the same points. We did not sign up, receive treatment, or call Core.

What we actually verified — October 7, 2026

Sources checked: Core Medical Group's homepage, 5-Week TRT Program page, TRT Program Signup page, Book Now, Telehealth Services, Office Locations, Diagnostic Lab Testing, Men's HRT, Our Team, About Us, Military Focus, Strategic Partners, and Terms & Conditions pages; Florida Department of Health license lookup; BBB profile, reviews, and complaints pages; matched Birdeye listing; FDA, DEA, HHS, VA, CDC, Endocrine Society, and AUA guideline-catalog sources linked on this page; Male Excel and Hone Health official pages.

Facts we confirmed: both published Core prices and what they include; lab and onboarding fees on each page; the 12-month pricing and auto-ship wording; Core's published physical-report wording, including its medical-team exception; the Chief of Medicine's Florida license status; the BBB rating, accreditation status, review, and complaint counts; partner roles; that Core's Terms page covers text messages only.

What Core states (not independently tested): treatment in 47 states; medication from "multiple pharmacies"; a dedicated patient coordinator; a military and first-responder discount.

What we could not confirm: which price Core will quote you; the exact testosterone product and whether it's FDA-approved or compounded; the dispensing pharmacy; the follow-up lab schedule; refill and response-time terms; cancellation and refund rules; which three states are excluded; the discount amount.

Our full process is explained in How We Review TRT Providers and our editorial standards. We separate what we verified, what a provider says, what customers report, and our own editorial judgment. We show the cost calculations, their assumptions, and the charges still unconfirmed instead of repeating a teaser price. We don't assign star ratings or medical scores.

Core Medical Group TRT: frequently asked questions

The main questions are about the applicable offer, the care requirements, and the terms that would apply to you. These answers distinguish what Core publishes from what still needs confirmation.

Is Core Medical TRT legit?

Core appears to be a real practice. Its Chief of Medicine holds an active Florida medical license with no discipline on that record, and the BBB lists the business as started in 2012. The open questions include price, terms, the exact medicines, and the follow-up plan.

How much does Core Medical Group TRT cost per month?

Core's pages list $149 or $189 every five weeks, not per month. Spread over a year, that's roughly $129 to $164 a month for the program itself, before labs, physicals, and follow-up testing.

What's the first-year cost of Core TRT?

Under our 11-payment model, the recurring program and listed entry charges total about $1,700 to $2,270. That is an illustrative subtotal, not a complete first-year quote; outside physicals, follow-up labs, additional visits, and any other required fees still need confirmation.

Is the Core Medical Group consultation free?

Core advertises a free consultation. Its onboarding process includes new-patient and bloodwork fees before labs; confirm which appointment you're booking.

Does Core Medical Group take insurance?

Core's price pages list different lab or onboarding charges for insured and uninsured patients, and they accept FSA/HSA or self-pay. They don't say insurance covers the treatment program itself. Ask Core and your insurer before assuming coverage.

Does Core Medical Group have a military discount?

Yes. Core says it offers a discount for veterans, active-duty service members, and first responders on sign-up, blood work, and yearly TRT pricing. That page does not state the dollar discount.

What's in the Core Medical Group TRT package?

Core advertises testosterone, anastrozole, enclomiphene, syringes and needles, and shipping in its five-week bundle. The signup page lists a 5 mL testosterone vial plus 10 capsules each of anastrozole and enclomiphene.

Is Core's testosterone FDA-approved?

The current program pages don't say. Ask for the exact product name and whether it's an FDA-approved product or a compounded preparation. Compounded drugs are not FDA-approved.

Do I have to go in person with Core?

Partly. Core describes local or mobile blood draws and a physical exam report every 8 months, or as its medical team recommends.

What states does Core Medical Group serve?

Core says 47 states but doesn't list the three it excludes. Confirm your state on your first call.

Who is Core Medical Group's medical director?

Core's website names Dr. Krzysztof Kacprzak, MD, as medical director and Chief of Medicine. Florida lists his medical license as Clear/Active.

Who owns Core Medical Group?

Core names Sidney Gordon as CEO and founder, and the BBB lists him as the business manager. Core's partner page names Mel Chancey and Nick Koumalatsos as managing partners.

Are Core Medical Group's 4.9-star reviews about TRT?

Check the business identity. The matched Birdeye listing for Core's Boca Raton wellness practice shows 4.9 stars, but it is not a verified TRT-only sample. Reviews for the similarly named staffing company describe a different business.

Can I cancel Core Medical Group anytime?

We couldn't verify the current treatment cancellation rules in the program pages reviewed. Both price pages mention a 12-month pricing contract or program. Ask what you'd owe if you stop early, and get it in writing.

Will TRT affect my fertility?

It can. Testosterone can lower or stop sperm production. If you want children soon, talk to a urologist or fertility-focused doctor before starting.

Is getting TRT online legal?

It can be, with a valid prescription and all applicable requirements met. Testosterone is Schedule III; the current federal flexibility runs through December 31, 2026 and allows qualifying audio-video prescribing by DEA-registered practitioners without a prior in-person exam, subject to federal and state law.
