[QUOTE="DragonBits, post: 130155, member: 18023"] When I look for doctors, there is a tenancy for google to direct me to large hospital groups to search, or for sure insurance companies direct you to doctors within their networks. These large enterprise systems and big-name hospitals have a huge control over health care providers and control is concentrated in fewer hands. Their doctors don't want to prescribe outside of government / hospital guidelines despite their personal opinion might be different. So often the decisions of an individual doctor in one of these groups is dictated by group policy. The "experts" are usually sole entrepreneurs or a part of a clinic specializing in antiaging medicine. So IMO this is a big reason they have more latitude in prescribing. All this makes it difficult to find doctors that aren't part of a big group and don't have an internet famous name. If I were looking, I would look outside of doctors being recommended by hospitals / insurance groups. But I spent 5 years on TRT without any doctor, so you can do it on your own, it's trickier to order but it can be done and you do need to do some research. I don't particularly like that route as it isn't very stable. Like ordering natural desiccated thyroid over the internet without a script, people do it all the time. I think telemedicience is fundamentally changing this dynamic making it easier to find doctors you can work with. BTW, just chatting about the subject and not recommending any particular route to take. [/QUOTE]
