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/)

They have Very thorough information. They were very understanding and even found a translator for my guardian. They care and They can help.

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.

Excellent treatment, thorough information, great experience overall

Dr. Beal is empathetic, knowledgeable, responsive, and enthusiastic about helping their patients. I would recommend them to anyone!

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 :)

I am feeling very hopeful, safe and excited about this option and just want to let you know how grateful I am for your assistance and your research.

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.

Great Medical services from the safety of your own home!

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.

Very warm, welcoming and very attentive to my needs. Gave me choices and a chance to give input with regards my treatment.

Dr Beal guided me through my gender reaffirming journey in a safe, informed, and compassionate manner.. I just can't thank them enough !!

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.
