Shaker Mom of E's is a physician who is soon moving into a new office. She's a general internist who wants to make her office feel inclusive of and friendly toward everybody, and wants to reach out particularly to the LGBT community to let them know there's a supportive doctor in the area. So…she emailed me and asked if I'd ask the Shakers what advice they have for a doctor to make her office feel welcoming. What makes you feel comfortable in a doctor's office?
And LGBT Shakers, is there anything you can recommend, based on good or bad experiences?
(Has anyone ever used a local Pink Pages directory to choose a healthcare provider? I used the Pink Pages all the time in Chicago, just to make sure I was giving my money to LGBT-friendly businesses.)
