yes
Why do you believe this provider should be listed in this database?
I believe that queer, nonbinary and transgender people deserve competent primary care with a provider who can provide a nonjudgemental and accepting environment for patients. Transgender health, particularly hormone therapy, should be a part of primary care, and that is how I approach it, rather than requiring visits with an endocrinologist, unless there is a specific need for specialty care.
What continuing education about treating LGBTQ+ patients does this provider participate in?
I have been providing evidence-based care for LGBTQ+ patients for nearly a decade. Although new to Maine, in my previous practice I saw a large queer and trans/nonbinary patient population, and I was constantly reading and consulting with other colleagues to update my approach. I have been to Gay and Lesbian Medical Association conferences and have reviewed patient care guidelines from WPATH and UCSF Center of Excellence.
