William Powers, D.O., born 1985, is a Family medicine physician[1][2] and the owner of Powers Family Medicine, a clinic in Farmington Hills, Michigan.[1][3][4]
Education
Powers graduated from the University of Pittsburgh with a B.S. in Neuroscience, and received his medical degree from the Lake Erie College of Osteopathic Medicine.[5]
Powers Family Medicine
Powers opened his own practice, Powers Family Medicine, in 2019.[1] The office received 1000 unique patients in its first six months.[3][6] Powers Family Medicine is located in Farmington Hills, Michigan.[3]
Transgender and inclusive care
The practice focuses on transgender and inclusive care.[1][2] Powers has been called "a hero to the trans community" by the Metro Times.[7]
Powers—who was trained in World Professional Association for Transgender Health standards—developed the "Powers method" for transgender hormone therapy.[1] Some ways the "Powers method" deviates from WPATH norms are by monitoring for both estrone and estradiol, preferring bicalutamide to spironolactone as an antiandrogen.[1][8]
Powers also runs a subreddit dedicated to answering patient questions about transgender hormone replacement therapy.[9][10]
World-record cats
Two of Powers' cats held Guinness World Records for their size: Cygnus for longest tail (17.5 inches), and Arcturus for tallest cat (20.1 inches).[11][12][13] Powers appeared with the cats on Good Morning America.[14][1]
In 2017, a fire caused by a massage chair entirely burned Powers' house. Two of his cats were later found dead, with a third never found.[15][16] Powers and his wife sued the massage chair manufacturer, American Crocodile International Group Inc., for $1 million in damages.[17][16]
