The following is a list of physicians in the United States who work with and are supportive of Transgender people. This list is by no means complete. If you know of a doctor who should be on this list but is not, please contact us so we can add them.
For physicians outside the United States, see Physicians by region.
Please note that all the links are to external websites that are not within our control and so T-Vox cannot be held responsible for their content.
See also: A list of doctors in the US and Canada who do informed consent. (PDF file)
Informed consent means that you do not need a therapist’s letter to access a particular thing – usually hormones, sometimes surgery. You simply have to sign paperwork that says you understand what the risks and consequences are of taking hormones or having that particular surgery. This does not mean that all you have to do is ask and you’ll immediately be given hormones or scheduled for surgery. You may need to meet multiple times with the doctor to make sure that you’re entirely on the same page and the doctor is satisfied that you have sufficient understanding to sign an informed consent form. Whether a particular doctor or clinic does informed consent is entirely at their own discretion, as is how they do it. They may have a written policy about it.
Here are the newly (as of summer 2016) revised and expanded UCSF Guidelines for the Primary and Gender-Affirming Care of Transgender and Gender Non-binary People, developed by the Medical Advisory Board at the Center of Excellence for Transgender Health as well as other authors and contributors: http://transhealth.ucsf.edu/guidelines

FTM Patient (2012): While I was his first known FTM patient, he is experienced in serving same-gender couples and was very sensitive to my needs. He did mess up pronouns, but not my name. Unlike many fertility physicians, he told me he would have no problem treating trans men for fertility issues if they were already on/previously taken testosterone. He and his staff were very accommodating and had no problem performing abdominal ultrasounds in lieu of the standard vaginal ultrasounds.

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.”‘

Primary care physician. Willing to prescribe and monitor hormones.
One FTM person says: ‘You should know that her main area of expertise is as an OB/GYN. All the nurses are women. Dr Kripke is also very invested in making sure you’re taking care of your junk. I don’t go to see her very often and every time she reminds me that I “haven’t had a pelvic in a year.” She’s fabulous and she truly cares and she’s interested in helping trans folk, but at the same time remember that it’s really not her area of expertise, but she and her staff are always respectful and helpful.’

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 (they do informed consent). Has a fantastic reputation for working with Trans youth in particular, including those under 18.
