### Chase Brexton (Maryland, USA)

<http://www.chasebrexton.org/>

Informed consent clinic in Baltimore, Maryland, USA. If you live in this
area or nearby areas (e.g. Washington DC) then you can use this clinic
for HRT. **Informed consent means you just get HRT, once they check your
blood test results and so on (i.e. no gatekeeping).**

This clinic \*also\* prescribes sublingual estradiol, unlike most
clinics (it also can prescribe oral or transdermal). Most clinics do not
prescribe sublingual.
