Hi Holly;

I know one, but he requires a gender therapist letter before issuing a prescription for crossgender hormones.  Here is the information:


Dr Luis J. Rodriguez, M.D.
Texas Institute for Reproductive Medicine & Endocrinology, P.A.
7400 Fannin, Suite 850
Houston, TX 77054
1713 791 1874
Fax: 1713 796 2343
Requires a therapist's letter.



Good luck!

I just want to add that I am MtF and under Dr R's care. He is absolutely awesome. Caring and sensitive to the trangender patient.

I am in Houston but I was prescribed testosterone in Boston 4 months ago. I do not have my letter from my therapist anymore but since I have been on testosterone for 4 months would it be necessary for me to bring one in order to get my prescription here?

It all depends on the doctor dude. Best thing you can do is call and ask... also look around alittle more... there should be more TS friendly doctors in the area by now.
