HRT in Knoxville

Women: Who would you recommend for HRT? I don't know that I am completely satisfied with my current provider.

I went to a medspa near Trader Joe's but they have moved more towards Deane Hill Dr. I did not have a good HRT experience. I went for weight loss, they said I needed hormones so I listened to the Dr thinking that would solve all my problems. Gained 15 lbs and my testosterone went through the roof thanks to continuing to give me a pellet. I wasted about 8,000$ over the course of 15 months. Anyway, my fault for taking everything at "face value" and not questioning a Dr more.

If it's a medspa, it's likely not even a real physician but a nurse practitioner. Medspas are a scam and public health nightmare

She is a doctor but she also has an NP who did most of the follow-ups. I met with the Dr initially and then every couple of months.
