Maybe, when specialty clinics are created there's a host of considerations. For oncology the MDAnderson model is a cross-discipline team structure where several different specialists manage a case together. You get PCPs and oncologists involved but you also get surgeons, interventional radiology, pathology, infectious diseases, radiation specialists, nursing support, pastoral care and social workers... just a host of care providers. For transgenders I suppose a close relationship between the physician, the surgeon, and the psychologist would make for higher levels of care and consider many of those same additional social concerns as well.
