Transgender Medicine Services

Medical aspects of a gender transition are specific to the individual. We partner with patients to develop an individualized approach to the medical aspects of transition that safely and effectively enables people to physically experience their gender across the lifespan. A person may not want or need a medical intervention in order to fully experience or express their gender. We collaborate with patients to ensure that their health needs are supported. Our guidelines for puberty suppression, hormone therapy and surgery are based on the World Professional Association for Transgender Health’s Standards of Care.
