It has been a long time since I have read about any TG care in Oklahoma. Don't get me wrong, there have been meetings and support groups which seemed to wax and wain. The first TG Care opened in the Baptist Medical Clinic in the late sixties. They lasted approximately three years before they were shut down by outside influence. in the void, I've meet doctors who will see TG for an astronomically high price each visit ($300/visit). They want to see the patient once a month.
I managed an interview with Dr. Arrowsmith. A nicer lady doctor would be hard to find. One who cares about TG patients would be in a class by themselves. Dr. Arrowsmith is a Navy veteran so it was doubly nice to get an opportunity to talk to the lady.

Speaking Practically
Speaking practically, there is no TG care in Oklahoma. The head doc I was seeing for my chronic depression wasn't best pleased when he learned I wasn't a GG. It was basically "I can't help you, please don't let the door hit you on your way out." I'm now just getting meds from my primary care doctor. I've been through a half-dozen or more meds trying to find something that helps the depression while leaving me capable of functioning. I got my best treatment when I lived in Norway. Maybe I should have stayed.

future metro
Since I am moving to OKC metro (up near Britanny) in a few months if all goes well, it's welcome news. Alhough my SO's GP is inclusive.
Haven't seen mutch around OKC in general ...
