This geriatric focused internal med doctor MD affliated with Hopkins looks like he would be good. It’s rare to see an internal med doc who practices med everyday prescribe a longevity drug.

Consult Rapanews app not the news section but the forum section for a List of providers. Most of the rapa news and forum bloggers or contributors use India direct and without a prescription. I believe there are medical providers in northern VA and Maryland on that list now. I wouldn't go that direct route. I use Dr Jerry Morris DO South Lake Texas from that list. He is responsive you can email him and you have access to him not just every six months but if you havre issues he’ll meet online with you outside the scheduled tele med visit. A very extensive blood panel is required I used lab corp but ins paid that but any other costs for office visit and meds are not covered by insurance. Again , 350 every six month for tele med and for rapa use good rx, He isn’t an eye focused doctor only. preventive. I am not a longevity hacker, use your judgement. I started it bec of my AMD and my reaction to the drug helped my inflammatory conditions. I might be the exception but I think most find it beneficial. I didn’t know it would help my general inflammatory conditions. Since this an off label use of rapamyacin you dont want that on your medical record. He doesn't take insurance anyway. I didn't tell my GP until this year and the retina doctor didn’t know of it when I mentioned it to him just this year. Dr Morris prescribes it slowly and I haven’t had any side effects but there can be, mouth ulcers and lipid issues. I must have been so immune system dysfunctional before. It works for me
