Dr. Akright prescribed female hormone to my son because he wanted to be a girl. My son was 24 when he found this doctor. She willingly gave my son these meds without finding out anything about his life, whether this decision was right for him or not. My son had a very normal life, but had a bad break up with a girl about 2 years ago, from then he started making online characters he was using female. He cannot get a job or hold one down because of anxiety and because of a birth injury to his arm... so he has no income and no medical insurance, so this doctor took him in and took his school money to pay for appointments and meds. If this doctor would have done a psych eval she would have learned he needed psychiatric help, not female hormone. He spends his whole day sleeping and he is up all night playing WOW. The only place he lives as a girl is online. Once he started growing boobs is when we found out what he was doing and by then he was too afraid to come out of his room without his arms around his chest.

My son is currently admitted to a psychiatric hospital and under suicide watch thanks to all this.

Find a doctor that cares more about the person than the buck.

DO NOT go to Dr. Akright if you have Type 1 Diabetes. It is clearly not her specialty and she has little experience adjusting basal rates and insulin usage in general. She does not check feet or do any physical exam at all. Additionally, Dr. Akright pushes supplements for a company called Theralogix for a profit. This is not properly disclosed, you are simply told you have a vitamin deficiency and then told you'll be sent a "prescription". The paper scrip turns out to be a referral to a website with a reference code which supplies the doctor with a commission. Please BEWARE and be aware.
