About
A men's clinic that measures first.
Baseline opened in Midtown Tulsa in 2017 for a simple reason: too many men were arriving on testosterone with no labs on file, no blood count and nobody watching. We wanted the opposite.
Why we started.
Dr. Nathan Okafor spent a decade in family medicine. More and more of his patients were buying testosterone online or from clinics that checked one number once. Some had hematocrit levels high enough to worry him. Some were trying to start a family and had no idea testosterone could stop that.
So he built a clinic around the boring parts: morning draws, a real exam, a calendar of labs and the patience to say no. Today six people run it, with a draw room that opens at 7 so you can be at work by 8.
Most of our patients are between 35 and 65. Many are sent by a partner. Some come in only to find out their numbers are fine, and we count that as a good visit.
What we hold to.
-
Numbers before prescriptions
No testosterone without two morning readings, a history and an exam. No exceptions for a busy week.
-
Risks said out loud
Fertility, blood counts, prostate and the cost of stopping are covered at the first visit, not buried in a form.
-
Private by default
A neutral billing line, reminder texts with no details, and a front desk that never asks why you are here.

Important safety information
Every treatment here is prescribed only after a licensed clinician reviews your history and labs. This is a summary, not medical advice. Questions
- Testosterone therapy
- Not for men with normal testosterone, prostate or breast cancer, or a high hematocrit. Can cause infertility that does not always reverse, raise red blood cell counts and PSA, and worsen sleep apnea. Requires blood work at 6 to 8 weeks, 3 to 6 months, 12 months and every 6 to 12 months after. Gel can transfer to others by skin contact. Testosterone is a Schedule III controlled substance.
- ED medication
- Never take with nitrates or poppers: blood pressure can drop dangerously. Get emergency care for sudden vision or hearing loss, or an erection lasting more than 4 hours. Common side effects are headache, flushing and a stuffy nose.
- GLP-1 medicines
- Not used with a personal or family history of medullary thyroid cancer or MEN2. Nausea and constipation are common early. Severe belly pain can signal pancreatitis or gallbladder problems and needs urgent care.
- Finasteride and minoxidil
- Finasteride can cause sexual side effects and mood changes, and it halves PSA readings. Minoxidil can cause shedding at first, scalp irritation and, as a tablet, dizziness or fluid retention. Benefits fade after stopping.
