TESTIMONIAL

Goetz Family“It was and is a pleasure to work with Doctor Austin’s team and clinic! We’re on our second journey with our surrogate and Doctor Austin’s clinic now and are very happy to know the pregnancy and the mother of our child is in good hands there. Especially when we’re so far away and cannot experience the pregnancy as close as we’d like to. It is good to know he and his team are there whenever needed, and support and advise our surrogate the best way possible.”

TRANSGENDER SERVICES

The Fertility Center of Oregon provides cross-gender hormone therapy and puberty delaying treatment for transgender patients too young for feminizing or masculinizing hormones. We offer fertility preservation (sperm freezing, in vitro fertilization, embryo freezing and egg freezing) for transgender people who want to preserve the option of having biologically related children in the future. We provide surgical services, including hysterectomy and oophorectomy (removal of ovaries) for trans men who desire the removal of those organs. In conjunction with the local mental health community, we write letters of recommendation and medical clearance for patients planning top surgery or sexual reassignment surgeries.

NEWS: Starting January 1, 2018, people who were born in Oregon and who need to change their name or sex on their birth certificate to reflect their gender identity may do so by completing a notarized application rather than having to get a court order. Read more here.
