Frances Grimstad

I am a Pediatric and Adolescent Gynecologist at Boston Children's Hospital. I specialize in transgender and intersex reproductive health. My interests center around optimizing reproductive health outcomes for both populations including hormonal and menstrual management, sexual health, surgical care, and family planning. I believe in using research and advocacy to dismantle clinical bias and bring more evidence-based care to gender- and sex-diverse patients. At Boston Children's hospital I founded the Transgender Reproductive Health Service. I am also the gynecologist in the Center for Gender Surgery and the Being-U clinic (the program for patients with intersex traits, or differences in sexual development). I believe reproductive health and the decisions that surround it are deeply personal and as unique as each individual. I prioritize individualized reproductive, sexual and fertility goals for her transgender, gender diverse, and intersex patients.
