Find an Inclusive Provider in our Diversity Directory: LGBTQ Doctor Search
Diversity Builder was founded in 2003 with the mission of building a directory of inclusive businesses for members of diverse groups seeking services, particularly inclusive access to healthcare. It was important to the Diversity Builder founders to help ensure patients had access to non-discriminatory healthcare providers regardless of their sexual orientation, gender identity, culture or other parts of one’s identity.
The diversity directory was the first of its kind to list providers in every state in the nation, rather than just the large metropolitan cities. It was not easy creating this directory. It was truly a labor of love from the entire project team. Finding dentists willing to serve all patients was particularly difficult. The team experience many phone hang ups and personal threats.
Referrals to Inclusive Healthcare Providers
During the project and following the directory completion, Diversity Builder’s leadership team realized that visitors seeking services would often require a personal referral to a doctor dentist or therapist in their area. The LGBTQI community was one diverse group being rejected for care regularly. We recognized that patients in remote areas or having specific needs may not find a provider on our director or the GLMA’s and possibly not receive the care they need. This was simply unacceptable to us.
Find LGBTQI Welcoming Doctors
Regular doctor exams are sometimes skipped due to apprehension regarding the patient’s comfort level with the physician. The Diversity Builder team has provided referrals to healthcare or other providers upon request since 2004. Our team is willing to make those calls to identify LGBTQI-inclusive providers as a way to give back to the community.
Diversity Builder will perform a specialized search, free of charge, for an inclusive doctor, dentist, or business nationwide. Just fill out our contact form.

Dr. Blick is a Norwalk Family Practice Physician and a member of our Connecticut Physicians Directory.
If you are looking an outstanding family doctor in Connecticut, consider Dr. Blick or other doctors in our Connecticut directory.
Our Norwalk Connecticut family and general practitioners often provide the first point of contact for people seeking health care, by acting as the traditional family doctor. They assess and treat a wide range of conditions, from sinus and respiratory infections to broken bones. Family and general practitioners typically have a base of regular, long-term patients. These doctors refer patients with more serious conditions to specialists or other health care facilities for more intensive care.
Our Internal Medicine doctors are referred patients with more serious conditions for more intensive care. Internal medicine is the branch and specialty of medicine concerning the diagnosis and nonsurgical treatment of diseases in adults, especially of internal organs. Doctors of internal medicine, also called "internists", are required to have included in their medical schooling and postgraduate training at least three years dedicated to learning how to prevent, diagnose, and treat diseases that affect adults. Internists are sometimes referred to as the "doctor's doctor," because they are often called upon to act as consultants to other physicians to help solve puzzling diagnostic problems. While the name "internal medicine" may lead one to believe that internists only treat "internal" problems, this is not the case. Doctors of internal medicine such as Dr. Blick of Norwalk Internal Medicine treats the whole person, not just internal organs.
