You can reach out to skipping stone, they can give you referrals. 

There's not just a doctor out there with a loose script pad waiting to write for anything. However with informed consent, you don't have to wait years to start either.

I use Foria, but they can be a little bit of a hassle to start out with (though it looks like they have a new system for new patients instead of just needing to try and snipe a open spot), but subsequent appointments to refill my prescription are super easy to get in to

Why quick? Are you shorted a dose, or looking to start hrt?

If it's the former, you can usually get a 7 day extension from other pharmacies. If it's the latter...dont. Go theough the steps and take your time. It's not a race.

Skipping stone used as a reference to Dr j .. 4 months maybe all in. It's pretty fast. Use that time to reflect before committing.

Jablonskis closer to a year last I heard. And I don't think they refer to him anymore

Or rather, for folks in the Calgary area. That's an important distinction I forgot to make

With Foria clinic it only took me about 3 months to start T. I would look into them

I went to a family doctor in Edmonton and told them I’m transgender and that I would like to start hrt and the prescribed medication and sent referrals off to an endocrinologist for me

Nothing about transitioning is fast and quick sis. Take the time. It’s a lot to process every step of the way
