At The Center for Gender Affirmation, your journey is honored every step of the way. We are more than a surgical program — we are a safe, affirming space where your identity is celebrated, your goals are heard, and your care is backed by world-class expertise.
Our Story & Mission
Our Mission
Our mission is to provide comprehensive, gender-affirming surgical and non-surgical care, grounded in cutting-edge techniques and delivered with compassionate, personalized support.
We believe gender-affirming care is not about changing who you are, but about helping your true self emerge vibrantly and fully through identity-celebrating treatment, evidence-based outcomes, and a full spectrum of support from consultation through recovery.
Our Story, Your Future
The Center for Gender Affirmation was founded to close a critical gap in the Mid-Atlantic region: access to advanced, microsurgery-led gender-affirming care in one welcoming location. We bring together a multidisciplinary team under one roof, so patients no longer have to navigate multiple providers for the expertise they deserve.
Our emblem reflects our belief that transition is not about becoming someone new but about evolving into who you’ve always been. Each patient’s path is unique, and our role is to support you in every step toward alignment and confidence, offering both the technical skill and the compassionate guidance that make your journey safer, smoother, and deeply affirming.
