LAGLC accepts insurance and does sliding scale. On site pharmacy. Serves both trans men and trans women. There can be a<br />

backlog for accepting new patients. Don't be discouraged!<br />

"I had already been on HRT for almost 10 months when I first saw Dr. Deutsch. She did ask questions about why I wanted<br />

HRT, and various things related to it. It was less than 10 minutes for that stuff."<br />

Report from reddit, May 2012 - You have to wait three months after (LAGLC) your intake appointment to actually get your script.<br />

"I've been trying to get an appointment (don't have a car though, so it's been tricky) and when you call they let you know that your<br />

first appointment is an intake, and then three months after that you actually have your first appointment with Dr.Deutsch"<br />

• Pap smears and pelvic exams for trans men<br />

• Prostate exams for trans women<br />
