Fontana California Hormone Replacement Therapy Services
There are few wellness and longevity treatments that have more promise these days than Hormone Replacement Therapy. Men and women all across California are working with Hormone Specialists to improve their Hormone Optimization so that they can revitalize and rejuvenate their health. The body relies on Hormone Balance to maintain the peak performance of the human body and mind, and that balance is precarious. Hormone Imbalance is one of the top threats to long-term health, and Hormone Restoration is a powerful means to restore Healthy Hormone Levels and boost vitality. With our help, we can help you overcome Hormone Deficiency and Imbalance and retrieve your potential!
Find an HRT Specialist in Fontana California
We operate a licensed and board-certified HRT Clinic that provides its services to patients thirty years of age and older in and around Fontana California, as well as the entire state of California. If you're interested in HGH Therapy, Testosterone for Low-T, or any other form of quality Hormone Care, we can help you discover if you are eligible for treatment and, if so, we can arrange your treatment and help you fulfill your goal of Hormone Optimization and enhanced wellness. Simply by contacting us at the number provided above or using the form on this page, you can contact one of our knowledgeable and talented Hormone Specialists who will answer any questions that you may have and set you up with an appointment with an affiliate medical specialist in your area if you're interested!
Hormone Therapy Delivered to Your Home in Fontana
That's right! You don't even have to leave Fontana for treatment. We will work with a physician in your immediate area to complete the preliminary examination needed to get you started. You'll simply meet with your appointed doctor, and he or she will give you a physical and draw blood. Your blood sample will undergo a Comprehensive Hormone Panel, and we will pour over the results and work with you to set up an HRT Therapy Program that fits both your needs as a patient and your financial constraints. After we've mutually agreed upon the best course of action, we will send top quality Hormones from a trusted HRT Pharmacy directly to your home or office so that you can get started!
HGH Clinics of Fontana California
Our HRT Therapy Doctors have exceptional experience with Human Growth Hormone Therapy, and Bio-Identical HGH is one of the most asked-about treatment regimens that we offer. Human Growth Hormone is one of the master hormones which control how the human body operates. HGH is the primary agent of cellular metabolism, meaning that it controls how fast and how often that your cells divide, one of the primary markers of physiological wellness.
HGH Deficiency is characterized by unexplained weight gain, reduced healing capacity, fatigue, trouble sleeping, depression, loss of muscle mass, increased incidence of illness, and more. Our doctors can help you find out if Human Growth Hormone Deficiency is plaguing your life, and, if so, they can prescribe you with Recombinant HGH Therapy to help you overcome your deficiency!
Sermorelin Therapy in Fontana California
In addition to HGH Therapy, we also offer Sermorelin Injections to patients that are suffering from Growth Hormone Deficiency. Sermorelin Acetate is an HGH Alternative that provides the same great results of HGH Therapy while also being less expensive and more widely available to patients with mild-to-moderate Growth Hormone Deficiency. Sermorelin works by stimulating the body's own natural production of HGH, whereas Growth Hormone Injections replace that production. Because most patients suffering from Somatopause (Age-Related Growth Hormone Deficiency) still retain the ability to produce their own Growth Hormone under appropriate stimulation, Sermorelin can provide the same great results as HGH!
Fontana Testosterone Prescriptions
Low-T is a serious condition which suppresses the health and masculine vitality of men all over America, and it's no different in Fontana California. Testosterone Deficiency is dangerous because it not only deflates sexual health and potency, but it's also dangerous for overall health as well. Men with Testosterone Deficiency are more likely to be obese and overweight, experience stroke, heart attack, diabetes, and more. And this is all in addition to sexual impotence and erectile dysfunction. Our Low-T and HRT Clinic offers a number of treatments designed to restore Sexual Performance and Testosterone Levels, including Low-T Gels, Testosterone Injections (Enanthate and Cypionate), and Transdermal Topical Patches.
Fontana Combination HRT Therapy
Also ask our Hormone Doctors about Comprehensive Hormone Treatments. Many patients simultaneously suffer from multiple forms of Hormone Imbalance simultaneously, and, in many cases, we can perform total Hormone Maintenance in order to restore your Hormone Balance. Many men suffering from Andropause also show signs of HGH Deficiency, for example. If this is the case, we can prescribe HGH Therapy and Testosterone Replacement at the same time. Choosing one or the other will still provide great results, but only through total Hormone Balance can you achieve the best results. Contact us today to learn more!
HCG Injections for Fontana Weight Loss
We also offer a number of other treatments designed to facilitate wellness, including weight loss treatments. The HCG Diet is a Hormone Injection program that offers the potential to lose up to thirty pounds in thirty days through the combination of Bio-Identical Hormones and Caloric Restriction. If you're significantly overweight and concerned with losing weight fast, we may be able to help!
Fontana California Information
The city of Fontana California is one of the many municipalities which comprise the Inland Empire area of California. Fontana is located in San Bernadino County, a relatively short distance to the east of Los Angeles. The city got its name because it relies on the waters of the nearby Santa Ana River. Like many cities in this part of California, Fontana was founded in the early 1900s (1913), but has experienced a population explosion beginning around 1970. Today, there are more than 200,000 residents in Fontana, and the region continues to grow.
Fontana began as an agricultural community, and developed a powerful Industrial sector later in the 20th century. As manufacturing begins to wane, the city is still vitally important as a shipping and transportation hub connecting Los Angeles to Phoenix. Major employers in Fontana include Better Beverages, Manheim Auctions, Target, and Kaiser Permanente.

All About Fontana, California Geographic Area
Fontana ( /fÉanËntR¦nÉo/) is a city of 196,069 residents in San Bernardino County, California. Founded in 1913, it remained essentially rural until World War II, when entrepreneur Henry J. Kaiser built a large steel mill in the area. It is now a regional hub of the trucking industry, with Interstate 10 and State Route 210 transecting the city from east to west, and Interstate 15 passing diagonally through its northwestern quadrant.
It is home to the largest of the San Bernardino County system libraries, a renovated historic theater, a municipal park, and the Auto Club Speedway on the site of the Kaiser Steel Mill. Fontana also hosts the Fontana Days Half Marathon and 5K run. This race is the fastest half-marathon course in the world.
The U.S. 2010 Census reported that Fontana's population was 196,069 in 2010, making it the second most populous city in the county and 20th in the state.
Fontana was founded in 1913 by Azariel Blanchard Miller. Within a few years it became an agricultural town of citrus orchards, vineyards and chicken ranches astride U.S. Route 66 (now known as Foothill Boulevard). The Fontana area was radically transformed during World War II when Henry J. Kaiser built one of only two steel mills west of the Mississippi River outside the city limits.
In the 1950s and '60s Fontana was home to a drag racing strip that was a venue in the NHRA circuit. Mickey Thompson aos Fontana International Dragway was also referred to as Fontana Drag City or Fontana Drag Strip. The original Fontana strip is long since defunct, but the owners of NASCAR aos new Auto Club Speedway opened a new NHRA-sanctioned drag strip in Fontana in mid-2006 to resurrect Fontana aos drag-racing heritage.
Ro-Val's automobile museum, located on Foothill Blvd on the western outskirts between Fontana and Cucamonga, was for a while the home for many classic automobiles of the 1920s and '30s, including a huge vehicle once owned by screen actor Fatty Arbuckle. When the Ro-Val museum closed, the vehicles were sold to Bill Harrah, a Nevada casino owner and automobile collector, who placed them on display in the museum located at his casino.
As of the 2000 census, the city had a total population of 128,929, but the present population is now estimated to have reached 189,021 (2009). This rapid expansion had much to do with the numerous large, new residential developments in the almost totally undeveloped northern part of the city, as well as with the city's aggressive (and highly successful) campaign to annex several unincorporated, but developed, San Bernardino county island areas in 2006-2007.
Most of the city of Fontana, like its eastern neighbors Rialto and San Bernardino, is built atop a geologically young, gently southward-sloping alluvial fan from nearby Lytle Creek, deposited mainly during the Holocene and late-Pleistocene epochs. There are also sedimentary deposits of similar age from Etiwanda Creek on the western edge of the city. However, the northern and southern edges of the city are formed by the much older San Gabriel and Jurupa mountain ranges, respectively. The Jurupa Mountains are composed primarily of Cretaceous and Paleozoic-era rocks, as are the San Gabriels, which also include even older, Proterozoic formations. The most prominent of the San Gabriel Mountains visible from Fontana is Cucamonga Peak, elevation 8,859 feet (2,700m). Additionally, the Cucamonga Fault Zone, contiguous with the Sierra Madre Fault Zone, runs through the northern part of the city, along the base of the San Gabriels, notably through the Hunter's Ridge and Coyote Canyon planned communities. It is estimated to be capable of producing earthquakes approximately of Magnitudes 6.0 to 7.0.
The city's listed elevation, measured from the northeast corner of the intersection of Upland Avenue and Sierra Avenue, downtown by City Hall, is 1,237 feet (377 m). However, the highest elevation within the city limits is approximately 2,600 feet (792.48m), in the northernmost part of the Panorama neighborhood of Hunter's Ridge. The lowest point within the city limits is approximately 840 feet (256.03m), at the intersection of Etiwanda and Philadelphia avenues, the extreme southwestern corner of the city. This difference in elevation is due to the southward slope of the Lytle Creek alluvial fan.
The city is frequently affected by the strong, hot and dry Santa Ana winds as they blow through the nearby Cajon Pass of the San Gabriel mountains, from the Mojave Desert. Fontana can also be extremely hot in summer, well over 100 degrees Fahrenheit.

Fontana's current economy is driven largely by industrial uses, particularly trucking-based industries. The city is home to several truck dealerships, and other industrial equipment sales centers, and, like its neighbors Ontario and Rancho Cucamonga, many product distribution centers for such companies as Toyota, Target, Sears, Mercedes-Benz, Southern California Edison, Home Shopping Network, and Avery Dennison. The city is also home to numerous small manufacturers of building materials and other locally-used products, and many small auto dealerships and salvage yards. Fontana's economy has also heavily encouraged, at least until such activities had been somewhat hampered by the Subprime mortgage crisis, the planning, developing and construction of new housing tracts. The city also has numerous local shopping centers, such as the Summit Heights Gateway/Falcon Ridge Town Center at the north end of the city, and Palm Court in the southern section. The city also features commercial strip zoning along several of its major avenues and boulevards, such as the "Miracle Mile" Straddling the 210 Freeway between Citrus and Sierra Avenues. The official Fontana Auto Center is part of that zone, with two major dealerships already in place.
According to the City's 2010 Comprehensive Annual Financial Report, the top employers in the city are:
Possibly the city's largest economic engine, however, is the Auto Club Speedway.
