Where to begin

Gender transition hormone treatment and surgery is complex, so it’s important to get all your questions answered before making a decision.

To get started, ask your primary care doctor for referrals. Be sure to choose board-certified, experienced doctors who specialize in transgender health care. You want to feel comfortable with your plastic surgeon, endocrinologist and health care team, so that you can choose the best preparation and surgical approach, together.
