Urogynecologist, Christian Quintero, MD, addresses considerations for gender diverse patients exploring gender-affirming transitions. Topics include: where to begin in the healthcare journey for transgender discussions; considerations for initiating hormone therapy and if it is necessary prior to having any gender-affirming surgeries; knowing when behavioral health or psychological assessment is needed; recommendations for parents with children seeking gender-affirming treatments; surgical options for female to male transgender patients in Dr. Quintero’s clinic at Valley Women’s Health Care Clinic.
I am so happy to see that Valley Medical Center is making care available to this population. So many people will be able to benefit from Dr. Quintero’s expertise. Good job Valley !!
This is so great that doctors like Dr. Quintero exist to help people with gender affirming transitions. It is sad that he mentioned patients in this category are highly criticized. That’s just one more stress nobody needs in their medical care. it sounds like patients will be lucky to have him and those on his team as their doctor because compassionate care is definitely what is necessary. Bravo to Valley Medical Center.
