A member asked:
I live in a small town. i don't want to travel a couple hours just to see a transgender doctor. can my own doctor give me the hormones?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes, but: Your own doctor can prescribe hormones, but transgender care is more comprehensive than hormones alone. Transgender doctors usually have more experience in this area, and can answer more of your questions. You might consider using the transgender center & doctors in consultation, and see how much of the care your own doctor feels comfortable with.
