About Us

Founded in 2020, Dr. Alexis Petra created TransClinique as a way to ensure that the trans and non-binary community had access to great healthcare and community despite geographical barriers.

As a trans-owned and operated business, our goal is to create a virtual health clinic and community space that affirms all identities and facilitates folks on their journey to become their most authentic self. We work hard to employ, when possible, physicians, nurse practitioners, and other healthcare providers who either identify as trans or non-binary.

Our subscription plans include one-on-one virtual care with expert physicians, prescribing of medications, lab costs, invitations to weekly fitness and educational events, and access to a community network of specialists across the country to make your journey successful.
