I am looking for a dermatologist who is officed in Austin
central/Northwest and gay-friendly/gay-aware. (and male).
I have gotten the names of Doctors:
Kevin Flynn, John Ghidoni, Michael Jarratt, Thomas Schulze, William
Thompson, Bryan Townsend, Jay Walther and Gary Zelazny from my PPO
network.
Anyone able to recommend one of these guys? Or anyone else?
Thanks,
Steve

I went to Zelazny awhile back myself, and was singularly unimpressed.
A long story that I don't have time to get into here now, but he kept
me waiting for 2 hours and didn't actually *do* anything -- yet he
still wanted his co-payment, that's for sure. Afterwards, I was steamed
enough that I actually called my insurance company and complained about
him. I don't know that it had any effect, but it gave me some small
satisfaction.
In short, a big Thumbs-Down from me on the topic of Dr. Zelazny.

The same reason that it's generally not a good idea to farm out
a public hospital's reproduction services (including birth control

If you had any sense, you would have stopped after your first sentence. I
did not ask about any doctor's sexual orientation, so no, I am not
necessarily looking for a "queer dermatologist," but rather one who is not
heterosexist--assuming that all patients are heterosexual.
Why it matters is between patient and physician. As for my nerve, well, you
can be the judge. I'll post inquiries wherever appropriate thanks. My
sexual orientation is really no one else's business, but for what it's
worth, this is one homosexual who is quite happy thanks, and neither
pathetic, nor immoral, nor particularly concerned about any narrow concept
of heaven and/or hell that might occupy your bigoted little mind. I can't
for the life of me understand why anyone without an answer to my question
would even bother to post a reply, unless there is something latent lurking
hidden beneath the surface...
Bet you're still yearning for the time when being a voting woman was a bad
thing, or even just being a (free) African-American was. Step back into the
time machine buddy. It's 2001, and intolerance is no longer in vogue.

Or do you mean by gay friendly that they play Barbara
Striesand music, sing little quips from musicals, sashay around,
lisp and wear purple bell-bottoms with midriff exposed green
silk shirts?
Or are you simply looking for signs above the clinic that says
"we love fags and lesbos"?
Or are you just being prejudiced against the straight world and bigoted?

The GLMA.org web site is a bit thin on referrals for Austin.
Currently only two are listed (both for "family practice"):
Jennifer Arnecilla and Thomas H. Smith.
Does anyone have any experience with either, or other
recommendations?
Thanks.

BTW, for dermatology/Austin, my PPO's network (PHCS) lists:
Margaret Curry, Susan Dozier, Anne Epstein,
Katherine Farady, Kevin Flynn, John Fox, John Ghidoni,
Stephen Houston, Robert Jackson, Michael Jarratt,
Eric Locker, Mary Ann Martinez, William Ramsdell,
Hans Sander, Dale Schaefer, Eugene Schoch, Jr.,
Thomas Schulze, William Thompson, Bryan Townsend, and
Gary Zelazny.
Do you have reason to expect that a straight doctor would commit
malpractice as a method of discriminating against a gay patient? I do
see what you mean about Catholic conflict of interest over
reproductive services, though.

Admittedly, my original answer was facile. Then again,
look what I was responding to.
I like gay-friendly doctors for the simple fact that I don't
have to "educate" them _per se_; if I have a sore throat from a
cold or from allergies , I don't have to worry as much about a
possible snide comment about "not sucking so much cock" (and,
yes, this is an extreme example, but it serves to highlight the
point -- it's easier to be served by clueful people than clueless
ones, even if the cluelessness is fueled by simple lack of knowledge
as opposed to malice).
But hey! We've got another Bush in the White House and everybody
seems ready, willing, and able to trade their civil rights for
protection for terrorists -- mark my words, Bigotry Will Be Back!
Have a nice life.

Clear me up on this (no pun intended) are there gay unfriendly
dermatologists out there? I mean, what happens when you visit this
kind of professional------"Hey you fag, get the hell out of here! I'm
not touching your gay hide! Go on, beat it!" Sorry to sound
sarcastic, but I don't see why you need to specifically ask for "gay
friendly" this or thats. I guess the discrimination must be out there
in some way or another, but what is gay-friendly, anyway? Do you want
the dermatologist to ask you out, to be available for dating, or what?

I can understand why you might want a gay-friendly doctor for primary care
and certain specialties, but it's hard to see how dermatology is relevant.
I'd rather have a specialist who's competence or thoroughness impressed
me, while he had a crappy bedside manner (like the surgeon who did my knee
some years ago) than a friendly specialist who might not be as competent.

I don't know what the original poster's motivation might have been,
but dermatology is the speciality that deals with most STDs. It is
something of historical curiosity, but syphilis was once understood
to be a skin disease, owing to the rash associated with secondary
syphilis.

It hit me why I reponded to the original post: A few years ago I got
a call at my business. This guy asked me all of the right questions
and it looked like I would get his account. As the conversation
neared its end he said, "Oh , one more question, is your business gay
friendly?" I laughed, (not uproariously, FWIW) as I was taken a bit
aback, and responded, "Sure, we're friendly to everyone. It makes for
good business!" Instead of a polite response from this fellow, his
tone went bitchy and he gave me this clipped reply, "Oh I see, well,
thanks a lot!"---CLICK. I never heard from him again.
Ok, Steve, what's the deal? You never answered me above, so what the

I can't listen to that song without getting a mental

I view it as "gay-tolerant", a mindset in which the typical
stereotypes that get bandied about re gay people just don't
have any significant foothold. (I wrote earlier about it
being nice to avoid cluelessness, whetehr it stem from
inexperience, ignorance, or malice.)

Huhn. Curious story. If I were the caller, *I* wouldn't
have had that kind of reaction. Ah well.
<disengaging sense of humor>
Was there anything *hidden* in your choice of the word
"bitchy" to describe his change-of-tone?

Gay friendly is knowing the secret handshake and wearing the right tie.
Could someone break the oath of silence and reveal the secrets of the

You're the idiot! I asked you to define "gay friendly" in my post and
you never did. I honestly don't understand the concept as it applies
iin your quest. I also wrote that I had had an experience with
someone seeking a gay friendly business that baffled me, so I thought
you could clear me up on this. You chose to ignore my request.
Next time you want recommendations for some "gay friendly" service,
business or whatever, go ask your friends, if you have any.
Time better spent looking for a brain, no doubt.

As usual, you are completely, absolutely and laughably wrong. BTW, are you

Oh, please mr. Rhodes, don't hurt me.
I know yer the sheriff in these here parts, Mr Rhodes. I dunno really what "the
obvious" is you are referring to, and truth be known, I don't care. I suggest
you park that 6-speed brain of yours behind a billboard and wait for speeding
spammers, or the net is going to fall apart. Don't waste your vast storehouse

your time, as well as that precious bandwidth you were sworn to protect
It's not that you are generally an ass, I'd say you're more of a rhoid in the

But of course, I know you are probably foaming at the mouth by now - no one can
