How do people find good, respectful, lgbtq+ affirming healthcare providers in Hawaiʻi?
I’ve been hearing from a few people recently that finding healthcare providers here can be really hit or miss, especially when it comes to feeling listened to and respected. I've had a horrible time finding affirming providers as a transgender member of the community.
It seems like for folks who need more awareness around things like identity, mental health, or past negative experiences, it can be even harder to find a good fit.
Curious what it’s been like for others across the islands. Have you found providers you trust, or has it been more of a challenge?
