Dr. Philip E Knapp, MD

If there is a problem with my insurance or a contraindication to medical care, Dr. Knapp needs to tell the patients so the patient can fix the problem. Medicare does cover transgender care. Medical records are often in need of correction. Never ever withdraw important medical help without being HONEST with the patient first. Dr. Knapp lies to patients with these problems saying that everything is fine, and then he just starts prescribing fake prescriptions and quits providing genuine care. Dr. Knapp needs to take his patients well being seriously. My next issue is that Dr. Knapp has chosen to share a building with a tuberculosis clinic and therefore with tuberculosis patients. HIV is a major problem in this city with transgender patients, and people (and animals/pets) with both HIV and tuberculosis do not do well per my understanding. Dr. Knapp needs to move out and stop lying. I think that Dr. Knapp is too weak or fearful to tell the truth when he knows that it is bad news. … My advice, toughen up and do what is right. Never lie!

40 years old and still have not undergone puberty. Saw Dr. Knapp for over 6 months with no results at all. He cannot make himself available on a frequent or regular basis. Waited over 3 months for appointments when unable to even stay awake due to low endocrine levels.

Dr. Knapp provided no information as to ALL that could possible explain the fact that I lost 2 inches in height in the last 2 years, I have insominia, lack of energy, hair loss, loss of muscle mass. His answer to these issue and my chronic fatigue was to offer viagra as a solution. In the past, after a 6 week protocol of testosterone, I felt invigorated and more alert. when I stopped the protocol, I felt very bad again. This might lead one to think that some sort of hormone treatment and NOT viagra would help in some way. I felt he wasted valuable time by not looking at ALL possibilities. This man thgouht I just wanted to have sex. MY INTENTION IN SEEING HIM WAS TO FEEL BETTER AND GET WELL. He did nothing to assist in that process. Not one offer to consider what I had told him. I believe he is a poor example of a good doctor.
