We are a multi-disciplinary, teaching clinic. Your care team is overseen by either an attending (supervising) doctor, Matthew Meyers, MD, MPH, or a nurse practitioner, Adam Leonard, NP, MPH, both of whom have completed the World
Professional Association for Transgender Health (WPATH) Global Education Initiative. Further, all clinic faculty and staff have completed training in providing sensitive and affirming care to the LGBTQ and Non-Binary communities organized and delivered by the UCSF Alliance Health Project. 

In addition to the providers listed above, your care team may include the following:

• Social Worker
• Nutritionist
• Medical or Nurse Practitioner student
• Resident Physician
• Adolescent Medicine Fellow

We do our best to ensure that our patients have continuity with a provider, but clinical schedules vary. Please be sure to ask for your provider when scheduling. Your first visit to our clinic may be up to an hour to ensure a thorough and
attentive evaluation. Subsequent visits will be 30-60 minutes, depending on your needs.

To best take care of you, we offer some confidential services. "Confidential" means that we will only share what happens in these visits if you say it is OK, or if someone is in danger. In California, teens can receive some types of health services on their own.

We hope that you can feel comfortable sharing information about everything that may impact your health (including things that may be private or sensitive), so we give all patients the opportunity to meet with their clinician in private. During this time, parents, guardians, friends, or partners will be asked to wait in the waiting room. Some of the things we may talk about include:

• Home and school environment
• Hobbies and activities
• Exercise habits
• Eating habits
• Relationships
• Sex and sexuality
• Fighting and violence
• Safety and driving
• Smoking, drinking, and drugs
• Sadness and stress
• Family support
