Does Dr Lorimer from gender care provide testosterone for 17 year olds privately?

Unfortunately not, they only see over 18s.

(Urgent) i have an appt with dr lorimer for hormones. Am i able to choose the way I take it?

To an extent, yes, but there are a few limitations:

They don’t tend to start people on nebido, so if you wanted that you would have to argue your case.

If you have a nut allergy they will start you on gel.

If you have a history of mood problems they may also want to start you on gel.

Basically, if you have a preference, you should make that known to him and he should listen to your views.

I emailed dr lorimer over a month ago (almost 28 working days now) about a first appointment with no response and no luck getting through on the phone - can someone reassure me that this is common? Any indication of timeframe would be really appreciated.

I understand Dr Lorimer’s office is taking longer than usual to get through messages at the moment, so I wouldn’t worry at this point, but it might well be worth sending a follow-up with “second message” in the subject line.

Sorry to take up your time and ask a question as a result of my impatience. I understand Dr Lorimer is busy and there are many patients to look after but it has been over a month since I received my appointment summary letter where he confirmed he got my blood results and I've heard no further information on whether they were good enough to be given the go ahead to start t. Is it worth trying to follow up with an email for an update or would this just clog up an already busy inbox? Thank you.

It probably wouldn’t hurt to give them a polite reminder that you’re still waiting at this point.

Dr Lorimer not responding ?

Dr Lorimer is currently taking up to three weeks to respond to messages through Gendercare at the moment, so if it hasn’t been that long, then hang tight for a bit - they probably just haven’t got to your message yet. If it’s been more than three weeks, you can send another message with “second attempt” or “existing patient” in the heading, as appropriate.

Just in case no one else has sent this - for anyone worrying about the lack of response from Dr Lorimer his administrator has been off sick and is now playing catch up with emails so they should be in touch with people soon.

Thanks for sharing!

hey, i sent dr lorimer an email 4 days ago and havent even got an automated responce? can they just take a while to come through, or should i email again?

I don’t know if all emails generate auto-responses, or it’s to specific clinicians or turned on at specific times. I’d wait the advised 3 weeks, and then contact them if you haven’t heard back.

Any followers able to shed more light on this?
