Today, my doctor of five years, Dr. Shahid Malik, completely unprovoked, pointed out that even though I am a trans female, he sees and refers to me as male. He even smiled while saying this.
I understand that people have their own biases, but it is disingenuous to advertise your practice as “trans-friendly, LGBT-friendly, all-inclusive, and welcoming” if you don’t truly believe it.
It’s surprising because, over these five years, he has been a subpar doctor at best. Every appointment has either been late or behind schedule—so much so that I sometimes show up late just to align with his timing. He frequently messes up lab tests, forgets crucial information, and often ignores my concerns regarding important health matters.
So, you will take my money and involve yourself in my medical care, but you don’t respect me, acknowledge my identity, or behave in a manner consistent with what you claim to represent.
This practice is a complete joke.
I would only recommend this place if it’s the only affordable option in the area. Otherwise, please seek a second opinion or find a different practitioner.
