I'm sure this kind of thing gets asked every once in a while, but I've had a lot of trouble finding information on my own on the web.
I've been out as trans for over two years, been seeing a therapist who says she'll write my letter whenever I find an endo. Problem is, the person she normally refers to works out of a women's clinic, which is pretty awkward for me. I'm trying to figure out if there are any other options for me (especially since I've tried contacting the recommended doctor's office twice and have been really put off by my interactions). The doctor I was referred to was Dr. Brenda Barry, for reference. I've also been told (by my therapist), that she has required completely unnecessary exams for trans patients before, though not regularly.
Could anyone recommend another endo (preferably one with an email address) that is transfriendly and near Orlando? Even further away from Orlando would probably be okay. I just need someone to write the prescription, since I intend to self inject. Thanks.

I live in Florida and know your pain. Try contacting your local planned parenthood and they usually are supposed to have a referral list

I'm not sure if this helps, but Brenda Barry in Orlando might be able to help. She's an endo.

Have you been to a local lgbt center? I'd think that in Orlando there would be a decent one

I know this post is a couple weeks old but Dr Daniel Greenwald and his staff are awesome. He's my endo and he also performs SRS. They're located in Tampa Fl.
