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. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
