Was recommended to come here after a new diagnosis. Requested info. Requested a new patient package twice. Never received. Called to speak with someone and was told I had to complete the package before they could talk to me. So I requested …

Absolutely wonderful staff, they’re all extremely supportive and respectful of their patients! Love going there.
Only been there one time so far, but this place was Super clean, staff were super nice, and doctor was Great. Will give 5 stars when I have a few more visits in & see how things go ! Highly recommended !
GREAT JOB !!!
Amazing staff. Personable. Brilliant. Empathetic.They go above and beyond. I am immensely grateful for Patty, Chris and the whole team.
These wonderful people saved and changed my life. Thanks to finally receiving proper and equal medical care I am pursuing my dreams, as my authentic self.
I had a great first time experience at Anchor Health! I was in and out of my scheduled appointment in a timely fashion!
This was the first medical experience i had as trans person were my doctor ask me how i feel instead of telling me. Thank you so much ANCHOR HEALTH INITIATIVE for giving TRANS PATIENTS ADVANCED KNOWLEDGEABLE CARE. I AM GREATEFUL.
I’ve been seeing Patty Alfieri for over a year and she is so awesome. Anchor has really helped me get my health on track. I highly recommend checking them out.
My partner has had a nightmare dealing with this clinic. Incorrect prescriptions, nearly missed deadlines for filing simple paperwork, late prescription renewals. Save yourself the headache. The level of negligence and apathy about patients’ health is egregious.
Can’t give enough amazing reviews of Dr. AC Demidont and her amazing & loving staff. Wherever you gleam on the LGBTQ+ spectrum, not only will you be treated with respect and dignity, but you’ll feel right at home.
Patty Rocks! So does the guy with silver hair. And Tonya and Lane (totally butchered his name) they really educated me. Help my find out i had a thyroid problems started me on T a month ago, they answer my questions through MyChart. I’m …
I have been seeing Dr Demidont for about 10 years now for my HIV health. When she moved her office to New Haven, I followed. When she opened her new practice in Hamden, I followed. She is smart, empathic and non judgmental. She is my life line. ❤️
I first heard about Anchor through word of mouth and as soon as I went in for the first appointment I knew I was in excellent hands. This how a doctors office should be and it’s comforting to know that my health is held to the highest standard. Would give 10 stars if I could!
The finest in LGBTQ+ healthcare. Everyone at AHI is super friendly and I was able to get started on HRT without a hitch. Was even able to walk out with my prescription. Highly recommend this place!
Based on the drastic behavioral changes of a loved one getting services here I suspect the staff may not be great at getting people to self declare mental-health-history information. I am glad there is a one stop shop for gender services …
I can’t recommend Anchor any higher. They’ve offered such competent care to me and my loved ones. No matter the situation, they remain calm and professional. They’re very real about navigating the crazy world of healthcare and even go above and beyond to explain the ins and outs of insurance. They’ll always have my endorsement.
I am so lucky to have found such a caring professional practice. You don’t have to be LGBTQ to enjoy a inclusive group at Anchor Health. General Practitioners who are educated and provide the upmost care and consultative advice to calm any …
Hands down the best! Always helpful & attentive. Everything I need. Staff is nice. New office is very nice. I feel very comfortable here. It feels good as a member of the LGBTQ community to feel normal and welcomed at a doctor’s office. I suggest this place if you are considering HRT.
Anchor Health is a wonderful and welcoming place. I am a patient and would recommend these folks to anyone but especially to all of my LGBTQ friends who have struggled to find a provider who is both sensitive and knowledgeable!
Dr. Demidont saved my life. I’m a trans*femme, 43, and before I came to Anchor Health I received deplorable healthcare from “trained in trans issues” doctors, aprn’s, and therapists. Unaware that I was living with the hormone levels of an …
I’ve felt comfortable at Anchor Health since I first started going for HRT. All the doctors, nurses and staff are super amazing. They’re all really funny, and make my experience there so much easier.
I would highly recommend this facility for trans health care.
I’ve been pursuing treatment here for about 13 months as of this writing, and …
Anchor Health Initiative has a wonderful, fun staff that never fails to brighten my day. They are kind, knowledgeable, and accommodating! I would highly recommend Anchor Health to any and all LGBTQ+ folks looking for safe and welcoming medical practitioners who really care.
This was the best experience I have ever had dealing with a medical visit!
The facility was very modern and SUPER queer, I felt very safe with the staff, and the APRN was knowledgeable about both my trans healthcare needs and my …
I am so happy that we were referred to Anchor Health in Hamden Ct! Their new office is beautiful and easy to find . My 16 year old transgender son needed a place where he could feel welcome and accepted . From the time we walked in, to the …
At Anchor Health, patients are treated with kindness and respect by extremely knowledgable physicians, APRNs, nurses and their administrative team. They respond promptly to my calls, always follow up when they say they will and make it …
Had some hiccups getting in (a tornado, too!) but once I was there, they made me feel more comfortable than I’ve ever felt in a doctor’s office. Really friendly, kind, and totally professional. I would highly recommend for a place you can be heard and well taken care of.
I have been with some of the staff from here for almost 4 years and since they were located in New Haven. I absolutely LOVE the staff(especially Patricia lol). It’s an hour drive from my house but there’s nothing else as close & frankly …
I was a rather sickly child, and I’ve been to many many doctors in my life, so I speak from experience when I say that Anchor Health is the best office I have ever been to. I went in expecting just a specialist for my hormones, but I left …
Here for primary care and HRT. Had my first visit recently and was absolutely stunned with what a kind and through level of care I received. My concerns were listened to and all my questions were answered clearly. I very strongly reccomend …
I am in awe of this office. I have never been comfortable in a doctors office, I’ve always hated going. That doesn’t apply to this office, I am excited to go in every single time I have an appointment. I go for HRT and everyone in this …
I cannot say enough about how wonderful everyone in the office is especially Patti. and Chris. Even the desk staff, everyone is so warm welcoming and caring. Who’d have thunk I’d ever rave about going to the doctor. Annual physicals are …
This place is NOT trans friendly. They use patients’ dead names and don’t update, even after contacting multiple times. Haven’t had issues at other offices and get more respect in my interactions in other (not lgbt specific) offices. …
Dr. Sharon is so kind an attentive when I go in for yearly visits. Such a thorough and professional environment with none of the usual anxiety associated with regular doctor visits. Totally judgment free and understanding. I don’t dread …
Worst office ever I won’t even dignify it with Drs in front because Joseph Canary is the worst one I’ve ever had. So out of touch with reality when referring patients to outside services. Every blood draw done in over 2 years has been done …
Incredible staff, they provide care with the utmost respect and kindness and they deserve the world. I would not have the slightest doubt in naming them the best location for gender related care in Connecticut. 100% reccomend them to anyone …
I’ve been a patient of Dr. Eckert for years, and I couldn’t ask for a more attentive, understanding, knowledgeable, and caring provider. I’ve never been someone who looks forward to doctor’s appointments, but Anchor Health has truly changed …
Anchor health is one of the best doctors I’ve ever been to. All of the staff are extremely kind and welcoming. I was bounced around by other doctors for years because no one listened to me or believed me. After seeing Dr Canarie and Sharon …
