Update - New Private Gender Clinic

[clovehitched]

I have mentioned this before, but now there is a shiny website for the new UK private gender clinic, operated by Dr Stuart Lorimer (also of the Charing Cross GIC and all round nice chap) and Christella Antoni (my erstwhile speech therapist - she's very good!)

They're at gendercare.co.uk

I'm declaring an interest - Stuart is a personal friend of mine, but I happen to know he has a very progressive, individual-centric approach to trans issues and is about as far from the old paternalistic model we all know and hate as you might be able to find today. If you're looking for trans-related healthcare and are worried about not having a "non-standard" narrative or identity, being judged, or not being taken seriously, you could do a lot worse than go and see him.

Update to the update: I am informed that Dr Lorimer's fees will be going up on the website shortly, but in the meantime I've been sent the text that is going to go on the webpage and will include it behind the cut.

Fees


Clinic visits:

Initial assessment with Dr Lorimer (60 minutes) : £200

General follow-up assessments (30 minutes) : £110

Counselling appointments (45 minutes) : £140

Please note that follow-up and counselling appointments are only available for booking following an initial assessment.

Failed appointments : 50% of appointment cost
(Not attended, or cancelled with less than
24 hours notice)


Written reports:

A comprehensive written report is included in the assessment fee. This can be addressed to the referrer and/or the individual themselves. If a GRC report is needed, this can be provided instead. If additional reports are required, an additional fee of £50 per report is incurred.


Payment methods:

Payment can be by cash or cheque (made payable to Dr Stuart Lorimer) or, by advance arrangement, into a specified account. Advance payment is appreciated.

Dr Lorimer does not deal directly with medical insurance companies and will expect medically insured clients to obtain reimbursement themselves from their insurance company.
