Men's Healthcare in Flower Mound, TX
Prostate screening, hormone testing and the conversations most men keep putting off. One doctor, one record, no referral maze.
Men wait. On average they see a doctor far less often than women do, and the things that bring them in eventually are usually things that started years earlier. At Flower Mound Family Physicians, Dr. Nazia Malick and Dr. Li Wan handle men’s health as part of ordinary primary care, which means your prostate screening, your blood pressure and your lab work all sit in the same chart.
- Prostate & PSA screening
- Lab work run on site
- Same-day appointments
- Most insurance accepted
The Things Men Tend Not to Mention
Some of these look minor on their own. Several of them together, or one that has been going on for months, is usually worth a visit. None of them is unusual and none of them is embarrassing to bring up here.
- Tired no matter how much you sleep
- Getting up two or three times a night to urinate
- Weaker stream, or trouble starting
- Loss of interest in sex
- Trouble getting or keeping an erection
- Putting on weight around the middle
- Losing muscle despite training
- Short temper or low mood
- Trouble concentrating
- Blood pressure flagged somewhere else
- Family history of prostate cancer
- Just overdue for a physical
A fair number of these overlap. Fatigue, weight gain and low libido can point toward hormones, but they can equally point toward a thyroid problem, poor sleep, depression or a medication you are already taking. That is the reason to start with a physician rather than an online questionnaire.
What a Men's Health Visit Actually Involves
No packages, no membership tier, no upsell. It runs like any other medical appointment, because that is what it is.
You tell us what prompted the visit
Symptoms, something a family member noticed, a number from a work physical, or nothing in particular. All of those are legitimate reasons to book.
History, medications, and a physical exam
Your provider goes through what you take, what you have been treated for, what runs in your family, and how you sleep, eat, drink and train. Then an examination appropriate to what you have described.
Lab work, usually the same day
Blood work is drawn and run in our office rather than at a separate lab. Depending on the picture, that might mean a PSA, testosterone, thyroid panel, lipids, A1c or a metabolic panel.
Results explained, then a plan
Your physician goes through what the numbers mean in your case, not a reference range printed on a sheet. Where treatment is appropriate it starts here. Where a urologist or cardiologist is the right call, we arrange it.
Prostate Cancer Screening and PSA Testing
Prostate cancer is among the most commonly diagnosed cancers in men, and in its early stages it usually causes no symptoms at all. That is the whole argument for screening. By the time urinary changes appear, they are more often caused by an enlarged prostate than by cancer, but the only way to tell is to look.
Screening here is straightforward. A PSA blood test can be drawn as part of your annual physical or on its own if you would rather not wait. We run it in house. A digital rectal exam may be done alongside it, depending on your age, symptoms and history.
- PSA blood testing, drawn and processed on site
- Prostate exam where clinically appropriate
- Review of family history, including relatives diagnosed young
- Plain-language explanation of what your number means
- Repeat testing to track a trend rather than reacting to one reading
- Urology referral arranged if results warrant it
Erectile Dysfunction
Most men wait a long time before raising this, and a lot never raise it at all. It is worth getting past that, because erectile dysfunction is frequently the first visible sign of something else going on.
The arteries that supply the penis are narrow. When circulation starts to suffer, they often show it before the coronary arteries do.
ED is associated with high blood pressure, diabetes, high cholesterol and cardiovascular disease, and it can also stem from medication side effects, low testosterone, poor sleep, alcohol, stress or depression. Several of those are treatable once identified.
So the first appointment is an evaluation rather than a prescription pad. Your provider reviews your medical history and the medications you take, examines you, and orders blood work where it is useful. Depending on what that shows, the next step might be treating an underlying condition, changing a medication that is contributing, addressing lifestyle factors, medication for the ED itself, or referral to a specialist.
No judgement, and no assumptions about your age. Men in their thirties raise this as often as men in their sixties.
Low Testosterone and Male Hormone Evaluation
Low energy, reduced libido, irritability, weight gain around the middle, loss of muscle, poor concentration. Testosterone clinics advertise against exactly this list, and it does describe low testosterone reasonably well. It also describes an underactive thyroid, anaemia, sleep apnoea, depression, uncontrolled diabetes and simple chronic sleep deprivation.
Which is why we test before we conclude anything. A testosterone level is drawn in the morning, when it is at its highest and the result actually means something, and it is usually repeated before any decision is made. Alongside it we look at thyroid function, blood count, blood sugar and lipids, because those explain a good portion of the men who arrive convinced their testosterone is the problem.
- Morning testosterone testing, drawn on site
- Thyroid, blood count, A1c and lipid panel to rule out other causes
- Review of medications and sleep that may be driving symptoms
- Results discussed in context, not against a generic range
- Referral to endocrinology or urology where that is the right step
If your levels come back normal, that is useful information rather than a dead end, and we keep looking. If they do not, your physician will talk you through what the options are and what each one involves.
Annual Physicals and Men's Health Screening
The annual physical is the appointment that catches the quiet things. Blood pressure, cholesterol and blood sugar all climb without symptoms, and most men who find out they have one of them find out at a routine visit.
A men’s wellness exam here covers your history and medications, a physical examination, blood pressure and weight, and age-appropriate blood work. There is also time to raise anything you have been sitting on.
Baseline blood pressure, cholesterol and blood sugar. Weight and activity. Mental health and alcohol. Family history recorded properly while you are well.
Cardiovascular risk starts to matter. Cholesterol and A1c tracked over time. First conversations about prostate screening, earlier if it runs in your family.
Prostate and colorectal screening discussions. Blood pressure and lipids monitored more closely. Hormone and sleep concerns often surface here.
Ongoing cardiovascular and metabolic monitoring, medication review, and attention to mobility, vision, hearing and cognition.
Treat that as a rough map rather than a schedule. Screening intervals depend on your own risk factors, your family history and what previous results showed, and your physician will tell you what applies to you.
Why Choose Flower Mound Family Physicians
There are places nearby that will sell you testosterone or an ED prescription quickly. Fewer will work out why you needed either one in the first place.
Diagnostics Under One Roof
Blood work, EKG, echocardiogram, pulmonary function, carotid and vascular studies all run in our office. For men’s health that matters, because ED and low testosterone frequently turn out to be cardiovascular or metabolic. Few practices nearby run this range of testing on site.
Primary Care, Not an Optimization Clinic
We are not a hormone or wellness storefront. Your men’s health concerns sit in the same record as your blood pressure, your medications and your screening history, and the same physician sees all of it.
Billed Through Your Insurance
Several of the men’s health clinics nearby run on cash packages or monthly membership. We work with most major insurance plans, and our front desk will verify your specific plan before your visit.
Accepting New Patients
Both physicians are taking new patients, and same-day appointments are often available for anything urgent. You are not joining a waiting list to be seen.

Men's Health Questions We Get Asked
For most men the conversation starts in their fifties. It starts earlier, often around forty, for men with a family history of prostate cancer or who are at higher risk for other reasons. Rather than applying a fixed age, your physician will look at your own risk profile and tell you when screening makes sense for you.
Your family physician can order and interpret a PSA test. We draw and run it here, usually as part of an annual physical. If a result needs specialist assessment, we arrange the urology referral and stay involved in the rest of your care.
Yes. Testosterone is drawn in the morning, when levels are highest and the reading is most reliable, and processed in our office. We normally check thyroid function, blood count, blood sugar and lipids at the same time, because those conditions produce very similar symptoms.
It can be. The blood vessels involved are small and often show reduced circulation earlier than the heart does, which is why ED is associated with high blood pressure, diabetes and cardiovascular disease. It is one of the reasons an ED appointment here includes a cardiovascular and metabolic assessment rather than a prescription alone.
No. These come up constantly and our physicians deal with them as routine medical matters. The appointment is private and nothing you raise is written off as being about your age.
A standard visit runs about the length of a normal appointment. An annual physical with blood work takes longer, and you may need to arrive fasting depending on which tests are ordered. Our team will tell you when you book.
No. If you want a PSA, testosterone level, cholesterol panel or blood sugar checked on its own, easiest way is to book an appointment. Lab work is run in the office, so results come back faster than sending you to an outside facility.
Yes, both Dr. Malick and Dr. Wan are accepting new patients, and same-day appointments are often available for urgent concerns.
Regularly. Patients come from Lewisville, Highland Village, Double Oak, Copper Canyon, Argyle and Bartonville, and the office is an easy drive from most of southern Denton County.
