About Golden Gate Urology Berkeley

What is Golden Gate Urology Berkeley?

Golden Gate Urology Berkeley is a urology and pediatric urology practice at 2999 Regent St., Suite 612, in Berkeley, California. Its services include robotic surgery, BPH, prostate cancer, vasectomy, kidney stones, men's health, pediatric urology, bladder health, and nitrous oxide sedation for in-office procedures. Testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) is offered as part of men's health care, alongside other urologic treatment. The prescribers are Chi K. Lee, MD; Andrew J. Pienkny, MD; Daniel T. Oberlin, MD; Greg A. Barmé, MD; Danielle Shanahan, PA-C; and Allison Sih, MD. A blog post describes TRT as available in gel, patch, injection, or pellet form, with the plan built around the patient's health, preferences, and goals, and says follow-up includes lab work to track hormone levels and blood counts while on treatment.

This listing is for its Berkeley office at 2999 Regent St #612.

What does it cost?

No prices are published for testosterone therapy, office visits, or any other service. The practice states it accepts most major insurance plans, including Medicare and a long list of named carriers, and invites patients to call if their plan is not listed. Ask directly what a consultation costs, what lab work costs, and how testosterone therapy would be billed if insurance does not cover it.

What should you ask before you book?

Ask which of the listed prescribers would handle a testosterone evaluation and ongoing care, since it is not specified which doctor or the PA sees patients for men's health. Ask whether an initial visit includes bloodwork or whether that is billed separately, and how often follow-up labs are needed once on treatment. Ask whether TRT is billed through insurance or as a cash-pay service, and what form of testosterone (gel, patch, injection, or pellet) would be used, since several options are listed without saying how the choice is made or what each costs. Ask whether telehealth visits are available for monitoring, since none is mentioned.

Who is it a good fit for?

This is a good fit if you want a urology practice that treats a broad range of urologic conditions and would rather have testosterone therapy managed by a urologist alongside other prostate, bladder, or urinary care, particularly if you carry insurance the practice accepts. It is less suited to someone looking for a hormone-only or longevity-focused clinic with published self-pay pricing for TRT.
