Hello - new to the forum, tested for low T by PCP two weeks ago, and also looking for a Dr. in Boston - have an appt w/ Mens Health Boston (William Connors) on Nov. 9th - who did you end up seeing? Any feedback?
I'm VERY new to this, and trying to find a good doc - drinking from the firehose here, don't fully understand all of the factors and differences in methodologies yet and it seems everyone has very different opinions they're quite passionate about.
Thoughts on your experiences in Boston?
Thanks, Mountain Man. You had no issues with high estradiol? Probably your low fat % helps on that. Do you inject the T yourself or you go to their office?

Thoughts on your experiences in Boston?
Boston generally terrible to find docs willing to do TRT much less, anything not standard protocols that are decades out of date. Dr. Beddecs in Portland ME is close enough to be worth the trip:
