A Guide for Transgender and Gender Non-Conforming Youth

Linda Gromko MD explains the basics of gender identity, sexual orientation, puberty, puberty blockers, hormone treatments, and gender affirming surgeries.

Dr. Linda Gromko

MD, UNIVERSITY OF WASHINGTON SCHOOL OF MEDICINE

Early in my career I discovered my interest in helping people through all sorts of life transitions. I began as an independent family doctor focused on women’s health care and delivering babies.

I’ve been involved in health care since I was a Candy Striper some fifty years ago. I graduated with a Bachelor’s in Nursing from the University of Washington in 1973 and completed the UW’s Family Nurse Practitioner Program in 1975. It was during my years at Planned Parenthood that I identified a true calling to go to medical school, graduating from the UW School of Medicine in 1984. 

One day in 1998, a caller asked our receptionist, “Does Dr. Gromko treat transgender women?” My answer was, “Not yet!” I explained that I was an absolute beginner with no formal transgender training Most medical education offers little transgender training even now.

Today, I not only practice trans-inclusive family medicine, I teach it and write about it as well.

New Aesthetic Services for All

We started offering laser and electrolysis hair removal a number of years ago – primarily to serve our transgender clients. My trans patients taught me that hair removal procedures are often life-changing. But, these procedures can hurt! We found that providing pain relief was critical, though not offered at many places. We have now broadened our aesthetic services to assist all of our patients. We offer CoolSculpting, Botox®, microneedling, hair removal, and tattoo removal with state-of-the-art pain control. 

We always learn from our patients. We don’t stop learning until we stop listening.

SEE YOURSELF IN A WHOLE NEW WAY

Hair Removal with
Pain Control

We can get rid of any hair, anywhere. Our aim is to provide the best service possible with the highest level of physical and emotional comfort. We set ourselves apart by offering topical and injected anesthesia.

 

Become a
Slimmer You

CoolSculpting is the world’s #1 non-invasive fat-reduction procedure. Contour your body by freezing stubborn fat with no surgery and little or no downtime. Talk to us about a plan that fits your needs and budget.

 

Remove that Tattoo
in Comfort

Maybe it was a good idea at the time. But a tattoo doesn’t have to be a “forever” decision. We have added laser tattoo removal using Nitrous Oxide gas or injected numbing medicine. We can use both.  It’s time to get rid of that ink – in comfort.
