Title: Primary and transgender care at Mount Sinai at 226 W on 14th in NYC
Post by: mistyjensen on April 16, 2016, 06:20:41 AM
Hi,

I'm interested in transfering my medical care to Mount Sinai at 226 W 14th Street in NYC. For over a year, I have been going to Callen-Lorde for my HRT and primary care. I'm tired of the long wait times to get medical appointments and to see doctors there. Also, I'm looking to a find a doctor who has knowledge about and has experience with diabetes care. I'm a transwoman, and Type 1.5 diabetic. Therefore, I'm looking for other LGBTQ friendly places for my medical care as alternatives to Callen Lorde. Does Mount Sinai generally have shorter wait times to meet with doctors? Can anyone recommend a particular doctor there? I'm in the process of switching over my health insurance from Fidelis to HealthFirst.

Sincerely,

Caitlyn

It's about two to fours weeks for appointments.

That's good to know. Thanks for the helpful info. Those are approximately the wait times at Callen Lorde. I wonder what are the advantages of Mount Sinai on 14th St versus Callen Lorde.
