About Us

Founded in 2020 by Dr. Alexis Petra and her team, TransClinique was built to expand access to high-quality, gender-affirming healthcare for trans and non-binary communities across the country. From the beginning, the mission has been simple: remove geographic barriers and deliver care that is knowledgeable, affirming, and accessible.

As a trans-owned and operated clinic, we are committed to creating a virtual healthcare space that affirms all identities and supports individuals throughout their journey. Whenever possible, we prioritize working with physicians, nurse practitioners, and healthcare professionals who identify as trans, non-binary, or queer.

Our subscription plans provide personalized virtual care with experienced providers, medication management, lab coordination and coverage (depending on plan), and access to a growing national network of affirming specialists. Beyond medical care, we foster connection and community to help support long-term well-being.
