Comprehensive Gender-Affirming and Transgender Health Care

We provide quality health care to transgender, non-binary and gender-diverse individuals in a safe and supportive environment.

Our primary care providers see patients of all ages for preventive care and chronic disease management, and we coordinate your care with our team of specialists.

Our surgeons are experienced in gender-affirming surgery (also referred to as transgender surgery by some patients), including chest procedures (top surgery), genital procedures (bottom surgery), facial procedures (including facial feminization/masculinization) and hysterectomies.

We collaborate with our clinical affiliates at Children’s Hospital Los Angeles, USC Student Health and Los Angeles General.

We work closely with Keck Pride, a committee at Keck Medicine of USC that designs and implements strategies to foster a welcoming environment for LGBTQ+ patients, families and employees.

In addition to providing care to our patients, our team provides education to our staff, medical trainees and the community on best practices in transgender health care.

World-class Leadership

Our internationally renowned physicians and clinicians are dedicated to delivering high-quality, compassionate gender-affirming care. We are leaders in cutting-edge treatments, breakthrough research and exceptional outcomes.
