question from a user
I’m currently going through a local clinic that frankly charges too much and expects labs too frequently, what’s the process like to switch to your clinic as someone currently being prescribed? Elsewhere would require me to tank my levels for the sake of initial consult and trying to avoid that…

We have a large number of TRT transfer patients. All we ask is that we get a copy of your current regimen and that we can meet with you to see how you're feeling on it. It would be great if we could have the lab results from before you went on TRT, but a verbal would be fine if you can't find them due to age.
If you're feeling great on your current regimen we're happy to continue it, if not, we will make suggestions to drop anything you don't need to adjust things up you might. No need to fix what's not broken though.
Asking someone to stop TRT to start TRT is just stupid, no way we'd ask for that, it sounds like insurance creating extra hoops to jump through.
