Gender Affirming Health Care

Finding gender-affirming healthcare providers can be difficult. Many providers lack knowledge and training on the needs and experiences, can be discriminatory, and often have no indication when entering the facility that the provider is gender-affirming.

Gender-affirming care is any care in which a member of the LGBTQ+ community has their needs properly met, feels safe, and comfortable, and feels their gender is respected.

Dr. Alex Jimenez (He/Him) believes that members of the LGBTQ+ community are treated with respect ,dignity, and above all, ensure that they receive the needed medical care they deserve.
