Full disclosure, I have been to numerous natural healers of all modalities over a lot of years in…read moredifferent states. :) Basically I love most natural healing methods and the corresponding practitioners. They have enhanced my life in so many ways and I am grateful for each and every one of them. Dr.Abigail @Sleeping Bear NH is without a doubt one of my top 5 favorites. Not only is she a gifted Holistic Medicine professional and an acupuncturist, her background is in Marine Biology which adds yet another boost to her already vast amount of knowledge. She brings an entirely new and most welcome angle to any issue and when she doesn't know something, she alerts her staff who circle back. They also have a fairly intuitive portal that I was dreading to use but once I actually did it, all went very smoothly. So happy to have found her and her wonderful team!

They show up to Pride events as if they are allies, but I found they are transphobic. I told them I…read moredidn't want what was "assigned at birth" on my record and they should leave what I entered on intake forms. They said ok but then changed it without telling me. I had to find out when I saw it on the end of visit sheet. They never discussed it with me, just went ahead and did what they wanted to MY record. They refused to change it back stating that doing so "wouldn't reflect reality" and "would be false." That was right after telling me how proud she is to work for a clinic that supports the trans community. That isn't support, it's the same bigoted rhetoric used on trans people re birth certificates, state IDs, passports etc. It's the same hate being thrown at us from all directions now days. They claim it'd somehow be illegal to have a correctly matched gender on the record, which is ridiculous since it's just a demographic box. Being trans is documented in the medical part of the record. They claimed it's for preventive care and that the EHR would recommend the wrong care, as if providers can't think through that with their individual patients. She used an example for something which wouldn't apply since I no longer have those parts and, by her logic, trans women on hrt would never be recommended mammograms. She made a lot of other nonsense claims but the reality here is that trans people have different medical needs than their cisgender counterparts and adding a wrong gender to the medical record does nothing to address that reality. My record at Munson was my correct gender for many years and there was never a problem so these arguments are nothing but gaslighting. Trans people deserve to have correct records same as birth certificates and other documents. I thought the call was in good faith but it became clear that she had only called me (my complaint was sent in writing) in order to be condescending and rude. She kept saying I understand your perspective then immediately told me it's wrong while repeating the same illogical, made up, bigoted reasons and claiming she's not medically trained when asked for specifics on things she was stating. She wasn't trying to understand anything, rather she was gaslighting me. It was all yet another horrible experience with transphobic medical providers. The worst part about this one, tho, is they're constantly pretending to be allies. They also demanded urine drug screens and controlled substance contracts for prescribing a hormone I've been on for nearly 20 years. Never had any issues and never had anyone ask me to do that in all that time. They were unable to provide any medical or legal basis for this but continued to demand it anyway. She said they can still provide me other healthcare and seemed shocked when I said no. I'm supposed to be ok with getting care from a clinic where they not only disrespect me on my record but also refuse me medically necessary care that I've been on for decades, with plenty medical documentation behind it, solely because I won't sign some b.s. contract or submit to urine screes neither of which have any medical or legal basis. Any provider who would ignore my extensive medical documentation and repeatedly dismiss how I feel about their bigotry and medical coercion, and who would gaslight me when I complain about it, obviously does not have my best interest in mind so why would I want any care from them?? I thought it was interesting that shortly after receiving my complaint the medical director gave notice. He didn't state his reasons. Maybe it's because they are hateful hypocrites or maybe it's because they aren't actually following the law wrt nurse practitioners who are not independent practitioners in Michigan. At this clinic they do not have a real physician overseeing their nurse practitioners in the way the law states they're supposed to. I don't know. All I know is they are NOT allies to transgender people and I'd recommend going elsewhere if you're trans.

Due to this, he felt like a paycheck instead of a patient. Observe: my husband works 5 minutes down the road from her office, instead of the courtesy of calling him when he missed an appointment (he noted in his phone that the appointment was at 4, it was actually at two pm) she charged him the full amount of the appointment at 2:24 PM, and then called me to let ME know that he missed his appointment...at 3:11 PM. Why didn't she just take the time to call him on his phone, and let him know that his appointment was at two and he could've been there... Maybe for a shortened appointment but at least he would've gotten the therapy. She did not know that his trip was moved to a month later, and she could've had two or three more visits from him. Now he has to find another therapist.
