Greetings,
In the new year, I will be moving with my family (wife and infant) to Pasadena, California. We currently live in Massachusetts where I have been seeing a therapist for the past year or so. I was wondering if any of you have any recommendations for a therapist in the Pasadena area? I am 6 months on HRT and I plan on transitioning probably next summer.
I also need to find a PCP and/or endocrinologist in the area who is happy continuing my prescription. Although it's a few months away from moving, I need to sort this out well in advance of moving........
Any advice on my impending move and ensuring continuous care would be most appreciated.
Kate.

hadrianne@->-bleeped-<-: Dr. Hastings is taking new patients; there can be quite a wait for an appointment but PP has a very fair
sliding scale, understands if your insurance doesn't cover trans stuff, and, oh yeah, she's totally awesome.
Djcapelis@->-bleeped-<-: There can be a long wait if you just call up, but if you manage to reach Jenn, she usually tries to find a a
way to cut through the wait if possible. She's really passionate about making sure people can get access to the care they need.

DR. MARKI J. KNOX
2121 Wilshire Blvd #303 Santa Monica, CA 90403 (310) 264-1777
Works / Consults with Dr. Maddie Deutsch
Her practice is primarily in Women's Health, particularly fertility and obstectrics. Her clinic has a policy of charging fees that
insurance does not cover rather than billing first as a paperwork saving measure. This is perhaps the only serious knock I
have against the practice.
http://www.yelp.com/biz/marki-j-knox-md-santa-monica"I had already been on HRT for almost 10 months when I first saw Dr. Deutsch. She did ask questions about why I wanted
HRT, and various things related to it. It was less than 10 minutes for that stuff."
