Requests for a men’s health clinic in our community have been numerous, according to Dr. Crystal Rogers, co-owner, manager, and healthcare provider at The Man Cave. Offering all things in the men’s health department, the new medical center in Elizabethtown values quality and confidentiality.
Dr. Crystal Rogers is a board-certified nurse practitioner, obtaining both a doctorate and master’s degree from Duke University. Dr. Rogers has over 23 years of health care experience, with the past nine-and-a-half years being in family medicine. She specializes in evaluating, diagnosing, and managing various health conditions.
“Approaching ten years in primary care/family medicine, you learn that listening to your patients is worth its weight in gold. Also, the art of listening to what’s not being said is vital,” Dr. Rogers told BladenOnline. She continued, “I knew there was a need to offer this to our community years ago based on various patient interactions. I’ve had spouses share that ‘I really wish I could get my husband to come see you for a check-up, but he doesn’t like coming to the doctor’s office.’ This comment is an ongoing reminder that compared to women, men are less likely to seek treatment when ill, let alone for routine care.”
Some of the initial goals of the owners at the Man Cave were to offer a welcoming space for patients, and to work out the kinks in a new work environment. Owning and operating a small business is not easy. It takes much effort and self-evaluation.
The Man Cave has plenty of goals for the future. Dr. Rogers shared, “Unwavering high-quality care and growth are future goals. Growth in the sense of physical space… The business will soon require expansion, given the significant response and interest in such a short time. Additionally, growth in the sense of positive health and wellness outcomes for men. As well as maximizing social media presence and marketing so men are aware of the services offered.”
According to Dr. Rogers, “We hang our hats on superior privacy and confidentiality, which is important when there are male-specific conditions. The Man Cave Testosterone and Wellness offers all things men’s health. There is a focus for evaluating and managing men who are symptomatic with low testosterone levels, sexual health such as erectile dysfunction, STI/STD screenings, pre-exposure prophylaxis for HIV prevention, weight loss, acute/sick visits, general exam/checkups which can include prostate evaluation, referrals for colon cancer screenings, and more!”
What’s the mission? The Man Cave Testosterone and Wellness will offer an experienced, professional, knowledgeable provider, committed to superior privacy and confidentiality, making services affordable, accessible, and convenient with flexible scheduling.
“Concisely put… Helping men feel like men again! Hearing a man say, ‘You have saved my marriage,’ and ‘I feel better than I’ve felt in a long time,’ is very rewarding,” Dr. Rogers shared.
