Dr. Crystal Beal (they/themme) founded QueerDoc to cure trans healthcare discrimination and raise the bar in queer and gender affirming healthcare. Through QueerDoc, Dr. Beal and their hand-picked team offer direct clinical services via telemedicine to individuals. Consulting and training programs for healthcare companies, clinics, clinic systems, organizations, and other providers are available through QueerCME. Ultimately, Crystal and their team at QueerDoc inform, provide, and empower the trans and gender diverse community with the healthcare they need and deserve.
Through QueerDoc individuals can access gender affirming hormones like testosterone, estradiol, progesterone and other medications such as bicalutamide, raloxifene (SERMs), and puberty blockers. Organizations can step up their trans and LGBTQ+ diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) with QueerCME. Healthcare providers can expand their gender affirming knowledge base and improve their skills in serving the their transgender and gender diverse patients at QueerCME.
Tired of culturally insensitive care and having to explain your care needs to your prescriber? Here at QueerDoc we have experienced these issues from both sides, as the patient and the provider. That’s why we started QueerDoc in 2018, to change the experience of care for our community and to raise the bar in gender affirming care. At QueerDoc, we believe gender affirming care is not one size fits all. Our QueerDocs and entire team are informed by community experience (that’s right — the voices of trans folx), their own lived experience, professional guidelines established by UCSF, WPATH, TransLine, and the Endocrine Society, plus the latest evidence, and their vast clinical expertise. They use that expertise and experience to guide you through decision making about your healthcare and your body, based on your gender care goals. QueerDoc provides individualized care to you from the safety of your own home.
We all share intersectional identities with our transness and queerness. We understand the importance of intersectionality. Our team participates in regular, recurring anti-bias training. Our staff works to understand their own implicit bias and receive additional training in culture humility from trainers with lived experience. Our anti-bias training to-date has included anti-racism training, indigiqueer training, and anti-sizeism training. At QueerDoc, we are fat, disabled, black, brown, poly, and more. We are committed to dismanteling white supremacy and the patriarchy in medicine.
