Where We Do It

We are licensed in:

  • Alaska
  • California
  • Florida
  • Hawaii
  • Idaho
  • Montana
  • Utah
  • Washington
  • Wyoming

Medical licensing and prescribing laws can be super complicated and confusing. Medical licenses are controlled at the state level. Some prescribing rules are at the state level, and some are at the federal level. Same sitch for telehealth rules.

And some state legislatures have gotten downright mean and nasty.

*We are currently exploring ways to support folx in ban states both through connections with other resources. Please contact us at info@queerdoc.com if you have questions.

So, here are some of the details about getting care by state.

Alaska:

Dr. Beal sees youth and adults with complex health needs in Alaska through Identity Health. Contact them to start patient registration at (907) 865-3247 or fill out forms online.

California:

We see youth and adults in California. California has a shield law. If you need to leave your home state for care, California has protections in place. We are working with outside resources to facilitate travel.

Florida:

Florida is complicated.

The Florida Medical Board and Board of Osteopathic Medicine banned youth from starting gender affirming care as of 3/16/2023. Youth who were already receiving treatment for gender dysphoria can continue receiving it. A lawsuit has been filed, and we hope that an injunction will be issued, thus allowing youth to obtain care. If you or your family have questions about starting gender affirming care and live in Florida, please reach out to us.

Florida bill SB 254 reached concurrence on 5/4/2023, and will be sent to the governor for signing. As soon as SB 254 is signed, it goes into effect, and will further restrict care for youth and adults*. However, a challenge to SB 254 will be added to the already in-progress lawsuit against the Medical Board and Board of Osteopathic Medicine rules, and a request to block SB 254 will be made. What care may be available depends on if injunctions are granted and what parts of the law or medical boards’ rules are affected.

Stay tuned.
*Major restrictions include:

  • Prescriptions must be made by doctors (MDs, not physician assistants (PAs) or nurse practitioners (NPs) and
  • Those prescriptions must be made at an in-person appointment

Hawaii:

We see youth and adults in Hawaii. Currently, if you are interested in testosterone, we would need a referral from a Hawaii provider who has seen you in person to be able to prescribe testosterone to you. They can fax us at 352-553-4934.

Idaho:

Idaho’s legislature has recently passed a law banning and criminalizing youth care. It goes into effect on January 1, 2024. Youth are able to start care until then. There are currently no restrictions on adult care in Idaho.

Montana:

Montana’s legislature has recently passed a law banning youth care. It goes into effect on October 1, 2023. Youth are able to start care until then. There are currently no restrictions on adult care in Montana.

Utah:

Utah has a complicated youth ban in effect. If you are under 18 or your minor child had an existing gender dysphoria diagnosis prior to 1/24/2023, we can see you, but we can not prescribe medications until a six-month waiting period has passed. We can start seeing youth and diagnose gender dysphoria, but we cannot currently treat. We may be able to start prescribing later this year. If you are in Utah and can travel, we recommend you travel to California or Washington for appointments and prescriptions. We can see folx via telemedicine and prescribe in California and Washington. Please contact us if you have questions.

Adult care is available with no restrictions in Utah currently.

Washington:

We see both youth and adults in Washington. Washington state is a shield law state: there are legal protections for patients travelling to WA for care and for clinicians who provide gender affirming care.

Wyoming:

Bills banning youth gender affirming care have failed in the WY legislature this year. We can see both youth and adults in Wyoming.

If you are interested in starting testosterone in WY, you will need to have two appointments with bloodwork and self-collected vital signs done between them before we can prescribe.


How To Make An Appointment With Us

We require all new patients to have a free fifteen-minute introductory appointment with us prior to any other appointment.

Request your introductory appointment via the purple “Request Appointment” button at the top of every page on our website. We do require you to have a credit card number on file, but you can use a debit card or a loadable credit card purchased at your local store (or an HSA or FSA card.) Here’s how (also, see our how-to video on Insta!)

  • Click on the green “Select” button for the Free 15-Minute Clinic Introduction.
  • Click on the green “Select” button for QueerDoc
  • Choose a date and time that works for you. Times default to PACIFIC TIME, but you can change how time displays to your time zone.
  • Click on the light green time button of your choice
  • Indicate who the appointment is for: “me” or “someone else”. Click on the green “NEXT” button.
  • Enter your contact information.
  • Click on the “Request Appointment” button.
  • If you need to return to a previous page, click on the green text in left side menu.

If you need assistance requesting an appointment, please contact us at info@queerdoc.com.

Please double-check that your email address is entered correctly. This is our primary method of contacting you.

After submitting your appointment request, your provider will receive the request and approve or deny it. If approved, you will receive a link to your video appointment and documents to review and sign. We now require that you upload an image of your ID before you can proceed to a medical visit. This is to help us comply with telehealth regulations. Any ID is acceptable, you do not have to be a US citizen. If you don’t have a photo id, a birth certificate is acceptable.

After your introductory appointment, you will be able to request your initial medical visit, a sexual health visit, or legal transition consultation via the patient portal.

At your first medical visit, we’ll talk about ALL THE THINGS and our goal is to have an individualized plan for your gender affirming care at the end of that visit.

How Adult Care and Youth Care Are Different

Yes, we see youth!

We have no lower age limit for our patients. We are happy to meet you and your youth prior to puberty, but medical interventions do not start until Tanner Stage Two is reached.

We believe that transgender youth are best served via large multi-disciplinary medical centers, where teams of specialists are available to coordinate care. This, unfortunately, is not an option for many youth. Location, wait times, ability to travel – they all play a part in accessibility. We are proud to support transgender youth for whom multi-disciplinary medical centers are not available.

Consistent with national standards of care, we do require parental or guardian consent unless a youth meets the criteria for the mature minor doctrine in their state.

Access to youth care nationwide is changing rapidly. We are committed to advocating for legal and accessible care and will provide care for youth as long as we are legally able to. For youth in states where legislation is impending or in place that restricts care, care may be available if you are able to travel out of state. This may include connecting you with additional resources. If you have questions about getting care, please contact us at info@queerdoc.com.

Our intake process for youth is slightly different, and medical intake is done over the course of two hour-long appointments.

  1. Free 15-minute introductory appointment with parent(s)/legal guardian(s) and youth (sometimes we have this appointment with just the adults.) We do need to meet the youth at either this appointment or the documents appointment.
  2. Documents appointment to ensure that we have our records in order before starting care. For youth, we need to have yearly well-visit records, custody/parenting plan documentation, if applicable, and mental health support documentation in some states. This appointment has a flat fee of $60.
  3. Medical intake visit #1 (sliding scale of $300 – $675.) The adult(s) are required to attend this visit.
    • We’ll have time to talk with both the youth and the adult(s) privately.
    • We’ll spend some significant time talking about gender, your family structure and support systems, and how gender affirming care for youth works.
    • We’ll talk about the youth’s gender embodiment goals.
    • We’ll talk about treatment options.
    • We’ll order lab work.
    • We’ll schedule the second half of the intake process for youth – this occurs after labwork is completed.
  4. Youth and adults have time to think about options and go get lab work done.
  5. We have the second intake appointment (sliding scale $200 – $575.)
    • Confirm gender goals.
    • Discuss lab results
    • Review risks and benefits of treatment options.
    • Discuss expectations and timelines.
    • Answer any questions that have come up.
    • Prescribe medications, if appropriate.
  6. Follow-up appointments for youth are one hour long and happen every three months for at least the first year (sliding scale $200 – $575.) Some youth need more frequent follow-up appointments in the first few months.

We don’t require that adults have a primary care provider to get care with us. We do require that youth have regular primary care, please email us at youthcare@queerdoc.com if you are unable to engage with primary care.

Ready? Schedule with Us! Look for the purple Request Appointment button on any page of our website.

What our amazing clients say

We are getting a lot of love!

I just had an appointment with queerdoc and it was amazing. I was using another telehealth company and queerdoc was much more individualized. The doctor actually took about 4 hours after our initial visit which was about an hour, to give me an individualized treatment plan. Answered all my questions throughout. Explaied why the treatment most likely didn't work the way I wanted it to with the last place I was with. I also like that the actual prescriptions are through whatever pharmacy you want to use, not just you have to pay us this no if and or buts. They also wrote me a letter of support for laser hair removal as hrt won't necessarily "stop" the hair growth. Also I l love that it's a sliding scale so you pay what you can afford within their set prices.

I couldn't have felt happier and I'm finally able to start being the person I've always been meant to be after 27 years. Thanks to Dr. Lin-Fan Wang MD, she helped ease my everything during the process and I highly recommend her and she's accepting new patients. But practices only in certain states and does telehealth for it via ( https://queerdoc.com/ ). Very good service and no gatekeeping (https://www.reddit.com/r/MtF/comments/wn6tb8/can_officially_say_i_started_my_medical/)

Process was super quick, easy, and I felt extremely comfortable. I met with Dr. Wang and after discussing all of my options I had my prescription the same day less than two hours later. Especially in light of certain socio-political difficulties we are currently facing I cannot recommend QueerDoc enough!

Hello, my name is Zoey and I'm a psychology undergrad attending the University of Wyoming. I've been receiving care from QueerDoc for the past few months, and it has hands-down been the best experience I've ever had with any organization. Growing up, it always seemed like getting HRT was an unattainable goal for me and it's been like magic to get a prescription without being dragged around by paperwork and red tape.

Crystal is a very good HRT doctor. She provides plenty of options for types of estrogen and T blockers instead of just spiro to suit people's wants and needs. She was very friendly when she talked to me and my family and I felt comfortable communicating with her about everything. Highly recommend her if you want treatment that is more personal and flexible to your needs :)

Amazing bedside manor. Doctor bell made me feel heard and seen. I felt entirely comfortable disclosing information that normally I'd be apprehensive about sharing. I've never had a doctor talk smack about capitalism ever, and I truly felt seen when she did that. Thanks for everything doctor.

Dr. Beal does telehealth visits, which were extremely convenient before this pandemic and are now a necessity. This is especially helpful in that nothing about the appointment process was interrupted or changed by the pandemic. Dr. Beal is friendly, attentive, and well organized. Even between appointments, if I need to get something clarified or resolved, I get a timely response via the secure messaging system attached to the appointment portal. I always feel good about these visits.

Entirely professional, usage of telehealth was convenient for me, and they helped me, and continue to help me figure out a dosage and regime of medications that have massively improved my life. I cannot be more grateful.

Dr Beal guided me through my gender reaffirming journey in a safe, informed, and compassionate manner.. I just can't thank them enough !!

I'm so beyond happy someone told me about you. I think I've said this to you before, but I had given in. I had decided I was just going to suppress and hide my true self the rest of my life. I can't believe I held back all these years! Owning who you are and being yourself is one of the best things a person can do! I'm so happy! There are not words to convey it properly other than, thank you.
