    The GP and Endo would have to apply themselves the same. The endo isn't learning something in medical school that the GP is not or vice versa, not when it comes to TRT. The false sense of security many have because it's an endo is just that, false. Don't misunderstand me, I'm not saying endos are bad, there are plenty of good ones. Although when it comes to TRT, there are more that are lacking than not.

    The false senses of security we all tend to carry is strange when you think about it. I'm sure there are some that will only buy name brand commercial testosterone, despite the generic or compounded being made from the same powders that were obtained from the same place. Even OTC meds are this way - we can buy generic ibuprofen for nothing, yet most will stay pay the extra few bucks because the box says Motrin.

    FYI Generics are not always an exact equivalent opposite what the industry would like you to believe. While a vast majority of the generic meds are equivalent to original patented formulations (i.e. Ibuprofen, Naproxen Sodium, Antibiotics etc.), there are some generics that are not as bioavailable/efficacious as the original med. Patented meds can sometimes contain unique carriers and/or dissolution technologies which are covered under separate patents which do not allow it to be 100% copied in the Generic versions.

    I don't care at all. I was just happy to finally have a doctor who realized that my testosterone levels sucked and acknowledge that low T was the reason I felt so shitty.

    My doctor is a urologist. Good guy, knows TRT, and is good about getting back to me if I have any questions.
