DESIGN AND METHODS: A mixed methods design collected quantitative data (n = 50) and qualitative data (n = 25) from transgender women. FINDINGS: Quantitatively, satisfaction with healthcare services was high among the participants, with lower areas related to healthcare systems issues. Qualitatively, participants identified barriers and facilitators of healthcare satisfaction. IMPLICATIONS: This study provides clinical, research, educational, and policy implications for improving healthcare satisfaction among transgender women.
