Establishing care with the Transgender and Gender Diverse Care entails making a telemedicine appointment with one of their clinicians. You will be able to ask questions and create a plan of care that is right for you. You can get started in one of two ways:
Need assistance navigating our Transcare services?
- Call Clinic 3 at (510) 643-7110 and ask to speak with the clinic nurse. The clinic nurse can arrange an appointment and prepare you for your visit.
- You can self-schedule using the eTang portal. In order to be able to self-schedule for a trans/gender diverse care in-person or telemedicine appointment, you must have one of the trans/gender diverse care clinicians listed as your Primary Care Provider (PCP). Take a look at the clinicians on the UHS Transgender and Gender Diverse Care Team webpage and identify someone you would like to make your appointment with (this can always be changed).
- Once you have chosen a clinician, go onto the eTang portal and make them your Primary Care Provider (PCP). In the eTang portal go to “Profile," then under “Current Primary Care Provider” click on “Edit.” This will allow you to search for the name of the chosen clinician. Once you have designated your PCP, you will be able to self-schedule on the eTang portal.
UHS also has counselors experienced in providing Trans and LGBTQIA+ affirming counseling and mental health support. You can self-schedule with one of our Trans Care Team mental health counselors by using the eTang portal or by calling 510-642-9494 and request to meet with a counselor who is a member of the Trans Care Team.
