We want to assure our patients and their families that we remain steadfast in our commitment to providing you with the care that you seek, and the care that you deserve. Gender-affirming care is grounded in science, and we are proud to practice evidenced-based medicine that unequivocally leads to the best physical and emotional outcomes for trans and gender-diverse youth. On behalf of our entire team, we see you, we hear you, and we are here for you.
