Referring a patient for gender-affirming surgery means placing trust in the team that will guide their next phase of care. At Align Surgical Associates in San Francisco and Los Angeles, we partner with clinicians, therapists, care coordinators, and healthcare teams across the United States and Canada to provide patients with specialized gender-affirming surgical care.
Why Refer Your Patients to Align?
Align Surgical Associates is one of the few private practices in the United States dedicated exclusively to gender-affirming surgery. Our board-certified surgeons support masculinizing, feminizing, and nonbinary embodiment goals across the full range of face, chest, body, and bottom procedures.
This depth of expertise extends beyond the operating room. We help patients understand their options, navigate the insurance process, and connect with travel and community support resources when needed, so the handoff into surgical care is as seamless as possible.

Explore Align’s Research and Outcomes
Align’s research helps inform surgical planning, patient counseling, and the continued refinement of gender-affirming surgical care.
Our team studies outcomes, patient-reported experiences, recovery protocols, and evolving techniques to better understand what supports patients before, during, and after surgery.

Request a Visit to Your Clinic
Align’s surgeons and physician associates are available to visit clinics, meet with care teams, and share practical guidance about gender-affirming surgical care, referral pathways, documentation, recovery planning, and common patient questions.
These visits can be tailored for clinicians, staff, and, when appropriate, patients.
Some surgeons "offer" gender-affirming surgery among many other services. For Align, it's the center of our life's work. Our 6 board-certified surgeons have committed themselves wholly to gender-affirming care and research. This means we aren't just helping patients reach their embodiment goals; we are helping to make their care better—better understood, better supported, and performed in the best way possible. Meet the specialists behind the transformations.
