North Texas Endo Recommendations?

[ratkingleo]

Hello!
I'm 17, living with my parents in the North Texas (DFW) area, close to Plano and Garland. I'm looking for an endocrinologist, because the one that my therapist gave me has a wait list of 4 weeks, and I would really like to get testosterone sooner than that. I know I sound impatient, but I have waited through 7 months of gatekeeping by my psychiatrist and 4 years of convincing my parents to let me start HRT. I'm going to be leaving the state in mid-to-late July to live in West Virginia with my boyfriend, and I would really like to start HRT ASAP so that I can get as far as I can on it before having to make a major change with my insurance. I dont know if that makes sense to anyone else, I'm just really anxious about it. I think the endo that was recommended to us by my therapist (Dr Tiffany Armstrong) was Dr. Aimee Wright. Again, her place of practice has a waiting time of 4+ weeks and that is just not optimal at this point in time.
Thanks in advance,
Leo

I looked into this, but they said that they will not give HRT to minors? I assumed this meant with or without parental consent. I have consent, and there is a clinic very close to me.

Interesting even without consent? You can have your mom call and inquire. If they say no they gave me a list of other service providers your parents can contact. One of them sounds like a doctor that might work:
