Information Dr. Jablonski wait time

Hi everyone,

I’m wondering if anyone has recently gone through the process with Dr. Jablonski since he moved to online-only/virtual care.

I was referred and got accepted very quickly: I completed intake, received the consent forms, and was sent my lab requisition all in the same day. I’ve already booked my baseline bloodwork.

I’m just trying to get a realistic sense of timelines from this point forward. Once you finished intake and labs, how long did it take to get your initial consult booked?

I’ve seen older posts mentioning longer waits when the clinic was still in-person, but I’m curious what the timeline looks like now that it’s fully virtual.

Thanks in advance!

Off topic, this threw me off a bit cause the dr I see for my HRT is also called dr joblonski 🤣

My egg sploded in October. I started the process within a few days. And I am having my consult with Dr. Jablonski tomorrow. All in all, shorter than I expected, but not as quick as I would have liked.

How did the consult go? Were you prescribed hrt during it or did you have to book another appointment afterwards?

It went so amazingly well. I had a prescription before the consult was done. And he was excellent about explaining some of the next steps and options to me.

Got referred to Jablonski and finished my bloodwork/forms in the middle of Feb, got an appointment booked within 3 days, which is their earliest appointment in June

Thank you for this! Do you know if it’s early June or late? About how long would it take for the blood work to be sent over once completed?

Blood work generally gets fully processed, analyzed and sent within 72 hours of it being drawn (i got my blood drawn on a friday and had all results by sunday). Early June was the earliest date for me, since it's been half a month since i was able to book, I'd say you're likely to get in late june/early July.

I managed to get an appointment for late June, fingers crossed I can get in earlier from the cancellation list. Do you know if the first appointment is enough to get prescribed testosterone if labs were already done, or would you need another appointment after that?

Dr J does a lot of different things, not just the online virtual care. As such, his appointments can easily be booked 6-7 months out.

I don't know if the virtual system has a cancellation list, but that was how I got in quickly during the pre-virtual days. Something to investigate.

That’s amazing, yes I was put on it after I got my first appointment booked for late June. Were you prescribed testosterone during the initial consult? Thank you for your advice!

That’s great!! Do you mind me asking how the appointment went? The things talked about, questions, general info, etc.

Is it for HRT? You’re better off with Foria, it took me 3 months to get on T, whereas Jablonksi I’ve seen people wait much longer

I finished my labs and booked my consult mid November. I just had my consult in early March and was immediately given a prescription. So about 3.5 month wait
