question from a user
So I’ve been on TRT for over a year now. Hypothetically, what if my doctor happens to move, or his office shuts down, etc. would finding a new doctor to prescribe me my TRT be difficult? Would they just need to see that I have already been on it and be willing to take over my prescription? Or am I going to have to let my levels drop back down to my natural base and start all over again?

Most doctors would likely be comfortable following an established protocol if it had been working for a patient. Switching insurance companies is usually a bigger problem as they will typically force you to have new labs demonstrating low T levels.
