Dermatology of the Berkshires

Had a consult scheduled for Laser hair removal. Before being seen they cancelled the appointment stating that they 'cannot treat male hair' for laser removal. I have been undergoing laser treatments for over two years and consulted with other professionals since this conversation and no one has ever mentioned 'male hair' being an issue. To be clear this is bioessentialism as any hair can undergo laser treatment. I did speak with the office manager who explained that any 'male' appts for laser are automatically cancelled due to the doctor's preferences even though this decision was based on a name and not a consult in person. While the office manager was apologetic and in agreement that the policies need to be reviewed and updated, I am skeptical that anything will change as the doctor chooses not to 'treat male hair' and make decisions based on assumptions. Those who might be seeking Gender Affirming Care beware and those who have Trans loved ones might want to shop elsewhere.
