Title: doctor/endocrinologist who gives hormones in TEXAS?
Post by: Nathan on September 16, 2014, 07:26:58 PM
so since yesterday ive called every type of endocrinologists and obgyn including planned parenthood to see if anyone in the lower valley can get me started on hormones since i have a referral from my therapist but no one seems to want to help me or that they approve of it. so honestly i feel hopeless and im thinking whats going to happen with my referral or if i should just get hormones from the black market. can anyone let me know where i can find a friendly doctor to help me out whether its around san anotnio or corpus christi..even if its around the rio grande valley?

I go to an amazing Nurse Practitioner.  That might help broaden your search.  Local gender or lgbT websites usually have a 'resources' page that may provide information on health care in the area

They serve San Antonio and Corpus Christi (primarily SA).  Keith will probably want to see you personally to make sure you receive the correct care.
