Pre Surgical Assessment and Documentation for Gender Reassignment

At Dr. Robin Lowey & Associates, we offer a full scope of psychological services for individuals seeking gender reassignment surgery. Mental health professionals may be called upon for a variety of reasons during the course of gender reassignment including:

• Diagnosing of any co-morbid psychiatric conditions and follow up treatment
• Ascertaining the eligibility and readiness for hormone and surgical therapy
• Making formal recommendations to medical and surgical colleagues
• Documentation of a candidate's relevant psychiatric history in a required letter of recommendation to surgical team
• Education and counseling for family members about the transition
• Follow up and ongoing support
