Changing TRT docs, any legit clinics left?

Take your medical records and go see a good internal medicine or endo doctor. Those TRT places are just money makers. There also also URL for test and other things that are much cheaper.

Places on Florida can be anti aging clinics. Just full out a form, get a physical a.d pay a lot for their medications. Let it stuff just expensive.

If it were that easy, everyone would do it. Good doctors are very hard to find, esp ones that will be understanding and be open to caring and working with you, hence why they are TRT clinics, they know it’s not something that’s easy to come by.
Maybe your state has up to date doctors and cool ones at that.

Unfortunately, our hormones are so tightly regulated by the FDA and DEA that the medical profession is hesitant about working with men who need hormone replacement through a primary care doc. They do not want to be seen by their colleagues as a pusher of illegal drugs. This is why they prefer to refer the patient to an endocrinologist, which we know are back in the stone age of TRT.


Getting on my soap box now, I actually understand their position. Really, just read the posts in this forum. How many guys here legitimately need TRT and how many are faking it to get a script for T so that they can "Blast and Cruise" for aesthetic purposes? I try not to be judgmental, if guys want to mess up their endocrine system (probably for life) by doing this, then they should be doing this through UGL sources and taking the responsibility for the long term outcome. However, it's even more complicated than that. You have the whole sports industry saying it's unfair when an athlete competes juiced up (and I agree) because it forces the non-juiced athlete to do the same or parish in the game. You have the insurance and Medicare industry saying it's unfair for everyone else to pay the price for a lifetime of treating the long term side-effects of anabolic steroid abuse. So there's no clear way out of this mess. Guys with a clear medical need for TRT are the ultimate losers in this controversy.

Off my soap box now. I think the best path forward is the one that I took. I told my doc that I was seeking treatment (after the fact) from a well respected male hormone specialist. She continued to monitor my health and conduct extra labs in parallel with my TRT doc (who cost me an arm and a leg). After about 3 years, she saw the benefits and none of the potential side-effects of a well administered TRT protocol (see my post on Best Practices in TRT: https://forums.steroid.com/hormone-r...rting-trt.html). I then convinced her to take over the protocol without any changes so that I could get the cost down to a more reasonable figure. When the insurance conversation came up, I said that I had no plans on seeking insurance coverage for the drugs because T and HCG is just not that expensive. The insurance has no problem covering the labs as part of my normal care (though I heavily supplement that with my own labs).
