Lorena Alarcon-Casas Wright, M.D., is a board-certified physician at the UW Diabetes Institute, The Endocrine Clinic at UWMC-Roosevelt and the Endocrine\/Diabetes Clinic at Harborview and a UW associate professor of Medicine and Metabolism, Endocrinology and Nutrition. Dr Wright is a member of the UW Medicine Diversity Council and the Clinic Director of the LatinX Diabetes Clinic at the SLU Diabetes Institute.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
As an endocrinologist, providing gender affirming hormonal therapy to transgender adults is one of my clinical passions. I find myself continuously impressed by my patients’ courage, conviction and resilience and I am humbled to be part of their journey to freedom, health and happiness. I provide consultative care for TGNB patients with complex conditions or nuanced situations that may benefit from another perspective. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
I also am a diabetes specialist, so I would be a good fit for gender diverse patients who also have diabetes that is not responding to first line treatments. In either case, see your PCP first and ask for a consult and referral to me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
