Testosterone Therapy in Graubünden

How testosterone therapy works in Graubünden

At Swiss TRT, we combine the proximity of your local doctor with the specialization of an experienced specialist. No local endocrinologist required, no months-long wait times.

Care situation: Specialist cover is fine, the geography is the hardest in Switzerland

The Cantonal Hospital Graubünden in Chur runs its own Endocrinology and Diabetology department. Consultations take place at the main site on Loëstrasse 170 and at the Ambulatory Centre Quader on Masanserstrasse 2, which opened in September 2025. It treats hormonal disorders and metabolic diseases, with special clinics for thyroid, osteology, obesity and hypertension. A dedicated andrological clinic for male testosterone deficiency is not listed among its services. So if you are looking for an endocrinologist in Graubünden, you will find one — practically only in Chur.

Outside the Grisons Rhine valley, cover thins out fast. The Spital Oberengadin in Samedan offers endocrinology and diabetology as a consultant clinic — for 2026 the hospital's website lists individual Fridays from May to November, roughly one appointment day per month for the entire Upper Engadin. At the Lower Engadin health centre (CSEB) in Scuol, endocrinology does not appear in the list of visiting specialists. For Scuol, Zernez, Poschiavo, Santa Maria or Roveredo that normally means an appointment in Chur or Samedan — and the journey over the Julier, the Ofenpass, the Bernina or through the Vereina car shuttle is part of the appointment.

For blood draws the picture is better than the map suggests. In Chur, Dr. Risch operates a collection centre on Belmontstrasse. The Spital Davos has its own laboratory, and the laboratory at the Spital Oberengadin in Samedan is run by the Central Laboratory Chur of the cantonal hospital. On top of that comes the densest network of all: family doctor practices in every larger valley. That is exactly what telemedicine builds on — have your blood drawn where you already go, and add the specialist assessment by video.

Wait times: Endocrinologist vs. Telemedicine

Blood test in Graubünden: Where and how?

For the diagnosis, you need a blood test — in the morning before 11 a.m., fasting. The easiest way is at your family doctor. They can arrange all necessary values (testosterone, SHBG, LH, FSH, blood count), and the costs are covered by basic insurance.

You can find out exactly which values are measured and what they mean in our detailed guide: Blood test for TRT — all values explained.

Telemedicine for every valley in Graubünden

Telemedicine is independent of your place of residence. Here is an overview of how the process works in different regions of the canton of Graubünden:

Graubünden is Switzerland's only trilingual canton and, with around 150 valleys, the largest by area — with just over 207,000 inhabitants. That combination explains the care situation better than any statistic: a specialist clinic needs a population density that barely exists here outside the Rhine valley around Chur. Add the seasonal work in tourism, which leaves men in Davos, St. Moritz or Laax little room for weekday appointments. Telemedicine suits this canton because it keeps local only what has to be local: the blood draw.
