Clinics transgender health services fill need

DallasVoice.com – By John Wright – Staff Writer

Before endorsing a clinic that provides hormone therapy for transgender people, Maeve O’Connor wanted to do some quality control.

O’Connor, a steering committee member for Gender Education, Advocacy and Resources, or GEAR, said she was also one of the first patients at the group’s new clinic.

Although O’Connor had already been taking hormones for about five years, she switched medical providers to Dr. Jaime Vasquez and had her bloodwork done at the Nelson-Tebedo Health Resource Center.
