At the UCSF Gender Affirming Health Program, we offer collaborative care from multiple specialists for transgender, nonbinary and gender-expansive adults. Our experts provide state-of-the-art services and treatments. We are also active in conducting research on a range of topics in gender-affirming care and in training the field's next generation of medical providers.

Our primary care doctors, surgeons, urologists, gynecologists, speech and language therapists, and physical therapists work as a team throughout your transition to provide seamless care. Our program delivers compassionate care that focuses on individual needs.

We aim to improve the quality and accessibility of gender-affirming health care, as well as general and specialty care for trans, nonbinary and gender-expansive people at UCSF and beyond. Patients under the age of 18 may visit the Child and Adolescent Gender Center Clinic or call (415) 353-7337. Learn more about our program and services on the UCSF Gender Affirming Health Program website.
