Good Docs?

List of Good Docs

I saw an interesting post about how hard it is to find good Docs who are educated and unbiased in what we do and the sport we are in. I don't think it would be such a bad idea to maybe start a list of good Docs and what area they are in. I know I'm still looking for one. What do you guys think?

Realize...

One thing to realize about docs and their attitudes toward our sport, and gear use is this:
One of the reasons NO doc in the U. S. will condone this, if for no other reason, is their liability. If a doc tells you you're probably ok using gear as long as you get blood work, or whatever, and then something happens to you, THEY are the one legally liable for what's happened to you as it was under their advice and care. Certainly using gear to build muscle can't even be stretched to be called "off label" use of medication. Most of the longevity-type clinics are not in the U.S. to avoid these problems, though there are docs who will do hormone replacement, but only if serum tests show deficiency, and then only in physiologic, NOT pharmacologic doses.

So it may not be that a doc personally thinks gear use wrong or overly dangerous, but they are NOT going to open themselves up to the legal liability of being involved in seeming to condone or support this in any way.

Having said that, it would be great to share lists of docs willing to take this chance!
