I have a love/hate feeling for Callen Lorde. My issue specifically is with the Bronx location. They don't communicate with one another at the office and they didn't communicate with me about the steps I need to take to ensure I can start T. The guy who called me yesterday to tell me two hours before my scheduled first shot that I wasn't cleared was not apologetic or sympathetic to the confusion and mix up. I drove almost an hour TO the office just to have him tell me there wasn't even a doctor in that I could talk with and for him to not take my concerns and complaints seriously. Then, I call the Chelsea location and end up talking to this really understanding person who gets the OK from their supervisor to transfer me over to that location even though I'm really not allowed to be able to. They at least told me they were sorry and that the situation didn't sound very good. Luckily, they gave me an appointment to meet with a doctor this Monday. So that was good. BUT THEN today I received a bill from the Bronx location, which I had already paid online, after I specifically told them NOT to send mail to my house. Thankfully, I havent used my preferred name with them, or else my family would now know about that. This is really problematic. Over a year ago someone I know that goes to the Chelsea location was using a name his parents did not yet know about, and they sent mail to his house with that name on it, outing him. Callen Lorde, you gotta do better for us trans folks. But thank you to the person and their supervisor that got me swithed to Chelsea, seriously.

Doctors get tired too...

Two lovely trans men who go by Max answered my plea, and noted that they are woefully understaffed at Callen-Lorde, on the one hand, and they are just overworked. Then again, they’d tried several different doctors until they found the right one. We’ll see how it goes. And I’d like to add that the pharmacy staff at C-L are awesome and helped me figure this little mess out today in a way that worked out most expediently. So we’ll be fine until after I get back to NYC.

Problems at Callen-Lorde.

It’s weird because people on the trans subreddits are pretty laudatory of C-L’s trans medicine program. I have had problems twice with medicine refills because my Dr. wrote it wrong or forgot to change it (we’d spoken about it), I have time to go down there whenever something goes wrong and spend an hour getting it fixed, but have done this twice in July. Then I find out that my support group referrals have been sitting on my Dr.’s digital desk, awaiting her formal approval before I can get some professional emotional support. I’m patient and shit but FFS.

Callen Lorde is Terrible

Callen Lorde is Terrible

After my previous doctor would constantly dead-name and misgender me I got aggravated but I was willing to bite the bullet and keep trying to educate and correct him as long as he would keep giving me my testosterone. After they screwed me with a massive bill and the continued lack of growth regarding being trans-aware I opted to discontinue using them and made my intake appointment with…
