UCLA Health is a safe and supportive environment for transgender and gender diverse patients. Call to make an appointment.
The mission of the UCLA Gender Health Program is to provide healthcare for the transgender and gender-diverse community that is sensitive to each individual's needs. We provide gender affirming hormone regimens to support individual goals. Hormone therapy can be provided by primary care doctors who focus on gender health or by endocrinologists who specialize in hormone management. Services include:
- Hormone Initiation: We assist with initiation of individualized hormone therapies, with various medications including estrogen, testosterone blockers and testosterone as needed to fit your goals.
- Long-term Hormone Management: We will monitor hormone levels over time to assure that your regimen is optimized. We can also manage potential concerns that arise from hormones such as hair loss, acne or changes in sexual function. Additionally, our experts in hormone therapy can assist with adjustments in your regimen as needed for services such as fertility preservation and perioperative optimization.
- Care Coordination: At the UCLA Gender Health Program, we understand the unique challenges that gender expansive patients face when accessing health care. That's why our dedicated Care Coordination Team serves as your first point of contact. We offer a variety of services to support you.
