List of Joshua D. Safer's Reviews
While he has written some okay research papers about transgender care, he holds the idea that being transgender is a far less serious issue than being born with an intersex condition. Josh is very sympathetic to intersex people, but acts as though being transgender is a choice or cosmetic and not a serious matter. This offends me because I know that transitioning saves lives, and that a successful transition either often or always makes the difference between having a happy successful life or dying of suicide, homicide or facing horrible persecution. That is the grim reality and we need physicians to give it the extreme credit it deserves. Josh's papers need to take into account a wider variety of people, but I am glad he wrote them. It is a good start!

I was literally traumatized by my experience at Dr. Safer's office. Something you don't expect to hear from an Endocrinologist you are seeing for MtF HRT: "The nurse was in her right to refer to you as male because that's how your gender is listed on your health insurance." Something you don't expect to hear from one of the "leading" endocrinology researchers in the country (or so I've been told): "So, what meds do you want? There's not much research on which meds are best, so I usually just give people the cheapest ones." Something you don't expect to hear from *any* doctor or nurse mere seconds after an appointment (I had turned to grab my purse): "You have to leave right now because someone needs this room and has been waiting." Other things happened. I'd rather not talk about them. Seriously, if you are a transgendered individual, do NOT go to Dr. Safer. His office was actively hostile toward me for my gender identity.

This guy is THE worst doctor I've ever met. He has one way of thinking and doesn't listen. He read a text book and he recites it to you and then sends you to the lab and says see you in a month. Very, very bad experience with the guy.

Selection Criteria
All the information you see here is based on our analysis of internet reviews across the seven major review platforms most used by consumers during their healthcare provider selection. The platforms we selected are Google, WebMD, Yelp, HealthGrades, Facebook, RateMDs, and Vitals. The analysis algorithm uses the compiled data of average score, recency of reviews, number of reviews, and the sentiment expressed in the written comments. It then assigns weight to each parameter based on the available research on how consumers use reviews in their doctor selection process. This report is designed to help identify the doctors with the best overall review score in an area and does not reflect the doctors' competence.
