Progress Pride flag colors in a stripe, LGBTQ+, trans flag

Meredith trained at Florida Atlantic University with a focus on Nursing as Caring. While there, she had additional focused hours working with vulnerable populations. Most recently she has been serving patients with an integrative holistic approach including bio-identical hormones. Through her personal life she saw the need for increasing access to affirming medical care (HRT) for trans and gender diverse folx. She found QueerDoc because she is passionate about the mission to bring access to gender affirming care and hormones to as many individuals as possible. She is personally committed to creating a safe and inclusive environment for the community and all those they love and care about.

In her personal life, she stays grounded in her queer community through connecting with her diverse family and friends. She loves quality time with them. She also enjoys jogging, biking, and hot yoga. She loves to dance queer tango with all genders. She actively engages in personal growth through mind-body and leadership workshops.

Julie Ouellette Headshot
Progress Pride flag colors in a stripe, LGBTQ+, trans flag

Julie is a Queer, polyamorous, non-binary femme driven by a fierce passion for building systemic equity. As an interdisciplinary artist, activist, community builder, and content strategist, Julie’s work focuses on creating safer spaces for marginalized communities.

Access to gender affirming and queer-competent healthcare is not only essential and life-saving, but it’s the right of every member of the LGBTQIA2S+ community. Julie is grateful to be using their diverse skill set and commitment to access, advocacy, and community aid in service of an organization dedicated to providing that care.

In their free time, you’ll most likely find Julie hiking through the Los Angeles mountains, covered in clay at the pottery wheel, creating elaborate vegan charcuterie boards with their polycule, chaotically reorganizing their kitchen cabinets (again), binge watching season six of Madam Secretary (also again), fantasizing about adopting a dog that they don’t have time to take care of, or giving an overly excited TED Talk about the evolution of the entertainment industry.

I just had an appointment with queerdoc and it was amazing. I was using another telehealth company and queerdoc was much more individualized. The doctor actually took about 4 hours after our initial visit which was about an hour, to give me an individualized treatment plan. Answered all my questions throughout. Explaied why the treatment most likely didn't work the way I wanted it to with the last place I was with. I also like that the actual prescriptions are through whatever pharmacy you want to use, not just you have to pay us this no if and or buts. They also wrote me a letter of support for laser hair removal as hrt won't necessarily "stop" the hair growth. Also I l love that it's a sliding scale so you pay what you can afford within their set prices.

I couldn't have felt happier and I'm finally able to start being the person I've always been meant to be after 27 years. Thanks to Dr. Lin-Fan Wang MD, she helped ease my everything during the process and I highly recommend her and she's accepting new patients. But practices only in certain states and does telehealth for it via ( https://queerdoc.com/ ). Very good service and no gatekeeping (https://www.reddit.com/r/MtF/comments/wn6tb8/can_officially_say_i_started_my_medical/)

Process was super quick, easy, and I felt extremely comfortable. I met with Dr. Wang and after discussing all of my options I had my prescription the same day less than two hours later. Especially in light of certain socio-political difficulties we are currently facing I cannot recommend QueerDoc enough!

Hello, my name is Zoey and I'm a psychology undergrad attending the University of Wyoming. I've been receiving care from QueerDoc for the past few months, and it has hands-down been the best experience I've ever had with any organization. Growing up, it always seemed like getting HRT was an unattainable goal for me and it's been like magic to get a prescription without being dragged around by paperwork and red tape.

Crystal is a very good HRT doctor. She provides plenty of options for types of estrogen and T blockers instead of just spiro to suit people's wants and needs. She was very friendly when she talked to me and my family and I felt comfortable communicating with her about everything. Highly recommend her if you want treatment that is more personal and flexible to your needs :)

Amazing bedside manor. Doctor bell made me feel heard and seen. I felt entirely comfortable disclosing information that normally I'd be apprehensive about sharing. I've never had a doctor talk smack about capitalism ever, and I truly felt seen when she did that. Thanks for everything doctor.

Dr. Beal does telehealth visits, which were extremely convenient before this pandemic and are now a necessity. This is especially helpful in that nothing about the appointment process was interrupted or changed by the pandemic. Dr. Beal is friendly, attentive, and well organized. Even between appointments, if I need to get something clarified or resolved, I get a timely response via the secure messaging system attached to the appointment portal. I always feel good about these visits.

Entirely professional, usage of telehealth was convenient for me, and they helped me, and continue to help me figure out a dosage and regime of medications that have massively improved my life. I cannot be more grateful.

I'm so beyond happy someone told me about you. I think I've said this to you before, but I had given in. I had decided I was just going to suppress and hide my true self the rest of my life. I can't believe I held back all these years! Owning who you are and being yourself is one of the best things a person can do! I'm so happy! There are not words to convey it properly other than, thank you.
