Dr. Scott Weisberg is a general practitioner that is trans-supportive and LGBTQ friendly!
I saw Dr. Weisberg the day after my 20th birthday. My hope was to get a prescription for testosterone. Weisberg had a medical intern shadowing him the day I saw him; neither of them used the correct pronouns or asked me what my correct name was. I wasn’t sure if I wanted to use gels or injections, but as soon as Weisberg started talking, I could see that he wasn’t going to give me the option to choose. He told me that he only prescribes gels and only to patients that are 21 or older. So after I waited two hours in an empty waiting room first thing in the morning, it turned out to be a completely wasted visit.
Dr. Weisburg is patient and very sweet. It may take a moment to see him because he spends as much time as necessary with his patients. But, unlike a doc-in-the-box, his care is catered to meet your specific needs. I would recommend him to anyone looking for an LGBTQ affirming doctor in the Magic City – especially a trans person seeking quality care.
