A descriptive study was done to explore the health care preferences of 178 self‐identified lesbians. They were surveyed regarding their preferences for health care services, health care providers, clinic logistics, and identification and documentation of sexual preference. Holistic counseling, health maintenance, and disease prevention services were identified as their top priorities. Female health care providers were identified as a priority, and most of the women felt that sexual preference should be asked but not recorded in the chart.
