I recently moved across the country to Milwaukee, WI and I haven't had much luck finding doctors to prescribe/monitor my T. The only person I've found in the area that's accepting new patients doesn't have any openings until June and I'm trying to be seen ASAP since I've already been skimping on the last of my T for a few months. I've had A LOT of negative experiences with doctors throughout my transition so calling random names listed on trans websites makes me a bit nervous. Does anyone have any positive experiences with doctors in Madison, SE Wisconsin, or Chicago area? Preferably doctors that don't take months to be seen.
Are you able to call the doctor who originally prescribed to you, and ask to have a prescription forwarded to a pharmacy near you? That would be your speediest bet.
You could try calling one of these locations, they could probably direct you to wherever they do trans care at: https://www.susans.org/wiki/Northwestern_Memorial_Physicians_Group (https://www.susans.org/wiki/Northwestern_Memorial_Physicians_Group)

I see a doctor in Appleton (about 1.5 hours north of Milwaukee). She's great but last I heard she wasn't accepting new patients. You might try calling her office to see if perhaps the staff have a particular recommendation. PM me if you want the additional details.
