If you have Kaiser Permanente coverage, you can call Member Services (503-813-2000) or go to the Member Services desk at your Kaiser facility and ask them to give you the name of a trans-friendly provider – they have a list of them. However, these providers do not necessarily have previous experience with trans patients, they have just specified that they are open to treating trans people.

You may want or need to see a particular doctor who is inexperienced with trans/FTM patients. There is an informational booklet written for health care providers who want to educate themselves about treatment of male-identified trans patients.
