In our updated Physician Directory, patients can efficiently search the Brigham online Physician Directory (Find a Doctor) for physicians who have expressed a clinical interest in LGBT Health (Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender Health). We have identified a list of providers who are dedicated to ensuring that the unique and specific health needs of LGBT patients are met with compassion and expertise.

This is imperative to our goal of providing each patient with access to providers who are attentive and caring in treating their patient's health concerns, regardless of sexual orientation or gender identity.
