Kentucky needs so many more providers who are culturally and professionally competent in providing optimal health care for the LGBTQ+ population. As an OBGYN who happens to be openly gay, I have provided care for years for a significant number of LGBTQ+ patients from throughout Kentucky. – and as faculty at the University of Kentucky, I serve on the College of Medicine’s Advisory Council on LGBTQ+ Affairs. For a lifetime, I have fought for equality of all people and look forward to continuing my care for those who seek compassionate, comprehensive gender affirming healthcare in an open, safe, and supportive environment.
