Directory of Medical Specialists

Here is a directory of medical specialists in Singapore who can guide you through the transitioning and post-operative process. Please note that you will need to be counselled by a qualified psychiatrist and be on hormones for at least a year, under the supervision of a GP or endocrinologist, before you can undergo gender reassignment surgery. There is also a mandatory one-year cross-dressing period prior to surgery. Please log on to the World Professional Association for Transgender Health's website for more information.

Should you have more names to recommend, please feel free to email me.

For the time being I will not provide a listing of sexual reassignment surgery surgeons. For this and other information, Professor Lynn Conway's website is an excellent resource centre. You may also wish to check out Dr Sam Winter's website for an overview of what's happening in Asia. You are not alone.
