From http://thetransitionalmale.com/endo : 'From an actual FTM patient: "After an initial interview that included reviewing my medical records and my therapist's letter and some discussion about my plans and my options, Dr Gocial provided me with a script for T. I have to admit that I was pretty nervous but he put me at ease quickly with a professional and respectful manner. He doesn't pretend to know it all, and will listen and discuss alternatives without coming across like he's as the one who makes the decisions. He also makes no objection to my plans to rid myself of what are healthy, but female, organs, and has gone out of his way to help me investigate surgery options. Dr Gocial is one of the good guys."'

LGBT health centre. "Transgender services include: primary care, hormone therapy and monitoring, supportive counseling and referrals as needed. Our clients include female-to-male and male-to-female transsexuals, genderqueer people, queens, trannyfags, and people who don't feel that any label fits them. Our clients come from many different cultural backgrounds and all walks of life. Some come looking for hormones and genital surgery, some feel they are comfortable without either. Our Trans health program focuses on helping patients determine their own transition and identity goals." Payment is on a sliding scale, no therapist letter required to start hormones. Has a fantastic reputation for working with Trans youth in particular, including those under 18.
