Updated September 16, 2026. Care provided by Dr. Drew Collins, ND, Oregon naturopathic license 1332.
Proactive Choice has one office, at 601 NW Harmon Blvd in Bend. Salem is about 132 miles away by Highway 22 and the Santiam Pass. Call it two hours and 45 minutes each way when the road is clear.
So Salem patients meet Dr. Collins on video. Oregon’s naturopathic board says the state you are physically in during a visit is where treatment takes place, and an Oregon naturopathic physician doesn’t have to see a new patient in person before starting telemedicine. You’re in Oregon, and he’s licensed here. That settles it.
The visit itself is the ordinary consultation: your history, your labs, a treatment plan and time for questions. You get a link beforehand. A phone or laptop with a camera does the job.
Prescriptions follow Oregon law, which limits a naturopathic physician to drugs on the board’s formulary (ORS 685.145).
Labs come first. Whether you live in Bend or Salem, low testosterone has to be confirmed by blood work, alongside symptoms, before anything is prescribed. Some men shouldn’t start at all. The Endocrine Society advises against it for men with prostate or breast cancer, untreated severe sleep apnea or plans to father a child soon, and the testosterone therapy page has the full list.
If treatment fits, you and Dr. Collins choose a form: weekly intramuscular injections, a daily transdermal cream or oral lozenges. Injections can be self-administered at home. None of the three requires a weekly drive over the pass. Labs are repeated about every six months once you’re on treatment, and you go over them together on video.
Two honest caveats. If you’d rather have someone else give the injection every week, a clinic in Salem is the practical choice. And testosterone is a Schedule III controlled substance, so federal rules apply to prescribing it by telemedicine. The DEA has extended the flexibility that allows that without an in-person exam first through December 31, 2026. What happens after that date hasn’t been decided, and Dr. Collins decides case by case whether he needs to see you in Bend before a first prescription, so ask about it on the free call.
Medications such as Viagra or Cialis work well for many men, and there’s nothing wrong with using them. Still, Mayo Clinic notes that trouble getting or keeping an erection can be a sign of a health condition that needs treatment, and a risk factor for heart disease. Finding out what’s behind it is work a video visit does well.
Dr. Collins goes through your history, sleep, stress, diet and current medications, then orders labs that look at testosterone, blood sugar, inflammation and vascular health. If testosterone comes back low, the conversation turns to TRT. Botanicals and supplements aimed at blood flow and libido can be planned on video too, though some interact with heart and blood pressure medications, so keep your list handy.
The hands-on erectile dysfunction treatments are another matter. Shockwave therapy (GAINSWave), ozone therapy and procaine neural therapy happen only in Bend. The American Urological Association still classes low-intensity shockwave therapy for ED as investigational. It’s given as a series, too. For most Salem men, the workup is the sensible first step, and the 264-mile round trip can wait until there’s a clear reason for it.
Not everyone looking for a naturopathic doctor in Salem, Oregon is asking about testosterone. Video also suits hormone and thyroid follow-up, bioidentical hormone replacement therapy questions from women and men, fatigue that normal labs didn’t explain, adjusting medications or supplements, and ongoing care once a plan is running.
Is your problem one that has dragged on through a doctor or two already? That’s who this practice mostly sees.
You don’t need to come to Bend for a blood draw. The clinic can refer you to a blood draw station or send a mobile phlebotomist to you. Plenty of patients have the testing done through their own primary care provider or an online lab, and recent results from another doctor can often be used.
When the results are ready, Dr. Collins schedules an hour-long appointment, on video in your case, to go through them with your symptoms and history before anything is decided.
These happen only at the Bend clinic:
If what you mainly want is IV therapy or PRP injections, look for a clinic in Salem. Five and a half hours in the car for one drip is a poor trade. If video isn’t the right setting for your concern, Dr. Collins will tell you so.
Chest pain, signs of a stroke, trouble breathing or a serious injury? Call 911 or go to the emergency room. Proactive Choice isn’t emergency care, on video or in the office.
A new lump, a fresh injury or anything else that needs hands on it should be examined in person. And for a quick refill or a sinus infection, urgent care in Salem will be faster and cheaper.
Proactive Choice is self-pay and doesn’t bill insurance. HSA and FSA funds and credit cards are accepted. Fees aren’t posted on the site yet, so ask for current prices on the call, including what the lab work is likely to cost.

One note on wording: naturopathic physicians are licensed after passing the NPLEX board exams. That is a license, not a specialty board certification, and we would rather be exact about it.
Yes, by video. Oregon's naturopathic telemedicine guidelines treat the state you are physically in as the place of treatment, and Dr. Collins holds Oregon naturopathic license 1332. If you're in Salem, Keizer or anywhere else in Oregon at the time of the visit, you can book.
Much of it, yes. Labs can be drawn near you, results are reviewed on video, and injections can be self-administered at home, or you can use a cream or lozenges. Testosterone is a controlled substance, and the federal telemedicine prescribing flexibility currently runs through December 31, 2026. Dr. Collins decides case by case whether an in-person visit in Bend is needed first.
