"Informed Consent" HRT Clinics

[Flan]

Sorry for grave-digging, but I though this was a great thread that popped up on the first page of Google for me when I was researching this exact topic and I thought it was great for some of who have no doubts that this is what they want.

My only question, is anyone aware of any in the NW Portland Metro Area?

Best find I can find is Dr. Suzanne Scopes

Thanks for any posts. As we all know the therapist just seem to just milk us out of money & time that we need for real changes.

Tennessee/North Alabama area. Any one close to this area???

That is a pretty good list but there are a few obsolete entries on it.

Jessica,

Thank you so much for posting on informed consent. Just today I cancelled a second appointment with therapist. I knew it would be a waste of time & money. Previously in Pensacola it was not difficult at all to find physicians for HRT.

Any help or advise on any active informed consent clinic/physician nearby to lower Tennessee and north east Alabama would greatly be appreciated.

lame for a first post but
it still boggles my mind how there isn't a list of informed consent providers out there that is maintained consistently.

My doctor is Eric Meininger in St Paul, MN. He is on Catherine Mateos list but the number is wrong. Here is the number to make appointments:
651-290-8707
more info here http://www.gillettechildrens.org/care-team/eric-meininger-md-internal-medicine-and-pediatrics-specialist/
He's a great doctor and Gillette is a very friendly, albeit very busy clinic. Today I called to make a follow up appointment and they told me he was booked till January. that's only for first time patients tho, I got my appointment scheduled for mid september. if anyone would like to know more about my experience feel free to PM me.

Catherines website is down but maybe I'll try to email her. The list is over a year old now.
BTW I was looking for a "site suggestions" forum section but does anyone know how to edit the wiki here? maybe I'll send more emails....

Hi Francis.

I guess it's not very likely you'll see this, but I just happened upon the info for a doctor in TN:

Bradley N. Bullock, M.D.
Cool Springs Internal Medicine & Pediatrics Clinic, PLLC
1607 Westgate Circle
Brentwood, TN 37027-8075
Phone: 615-376-8195

note: this Dr will seriously stress getting therapy, and will require convincing for Informed Consent, but will do it.

Good luck.

Thank you for the update!  I will pass this along to the Wiki staff.

No problem

I also had an experience with another doctor... she didn't want to write me a prescription because I told her some things that made her think I wasn't mentally stable. But, I think she could be a good fit for some, and I got an appointment with her much sooner, within a few weeks. I can find her info if you want it. Dr Meininger is always booked at least a few months out AFAIK.

Open Arms Health Care Center

They are the only clinic in Mississippi that sees LGBT community exclusively.  They do informed consent, and work with people without insurance (preferably).

Let them know Mackenzie referred you.

Also lyon martin health clinic in san francisco. They also take medi-cal.

[PhoenixGurl2016]

There is a list online. That is how I found mine. Anyhow I would like to add:
AMANDA L STROSAHL, MD,
LA CROSSE, WISCONSIN
General Internal Medicine - La Crosse
1900 South Avenue
La Crosse, WI 54601
4th Floor Medical Center
(608) 775-8388

I did meet with her to confirm that she still does informed consent.

[aniiiib]

Dr James Farrow at the Tulane University Uptown Student Health Center in New Orleans, Louisiana does hrt via informed consent.  He ONLY does it for Tulane students.

[Christy82]

If anyone is interested, The Equality Clinic in Augusta, Ga.  Its on the GRU medical campus.

Thought I should add another one for NYC:

New York, NY:
Beth Israel Medical Group
226 W 14th Street
New York, NY
Tel: (212) 604-1800

Providers:
Robbins Gottlock, MD
Zil Goldstein, FNP
(There are others but these two deal primarily with trans* patients)

They do informed consent HRT as well as family medicine (primary care). They prefer to integrate your HRT with primary care as this allows them to fully manage your healthcare. I have gone this route and it is excellent. They take most insurances so visits and labs are covered. Phlebotomist is on premises so there's no need to go elsewhere to get your blood work.
