Gender Clinic: When to Refer Your Patient

Please refer your patient to the Gender Clinic only if they are interested in gender-affirming medical care (puberty blockers, testosterone or estradiol). We see patients ages 9 through 16. The wait time for new patients is currently about six months.

• If your patient is not interested in medical care or is outside these ages, please direct them instead to the community resources on our website. If they still have questions, they are welcome to contact our care navigators at 206-987-5768.
• For patients who are interested in gender-affirming surgery only, please refer them directly to the Surgical Gender Affirmation Program for a consultation.
• For patients with Kaiser insurance, we encourage them to seek care through Kaiser’s Transgender Service Program which offers services similar to ours.
