Hello Harvey,
I also went to Planned Parenthood (PP) to begin my HRT journey. If you do go to PP, you may need to check that your local PP office offers HRT (some of them might not from what I've heard).
Overall, I had a positive experience with PP (before I switched over to the VA for care). The staff was very respectful and non-judgmental. Their customer service was also very good. My only complaints with PP is that they don't prescribe bicalutamide as an anti-androgen, and it can be a bit difficult to find one's bloodwork results in their online patient portal. I believe they upgraded their patient portal since I was there, so maybe that issue has been resolved?
