Have you tried searching for “Hayes” in the forums. There are two posts from people who have been referred to him.

Hi Chloe, I dont have any experience with Dr Hayes (I live in another state) but i seem to recall he has been mentioned previously a fair bit in the yahoo group called ATSN (Australian Transexual Support Network) http://au.groups.yahoo.com/group/atsn/ .
You could give them a try. Good luck with everything.

regards,
Alison

Ahh.. that is where you may find the fun starts. ATSN has an entrance requirement you are a transexual “undertaking affirmation treatment”. You may find that they have a narrow view of the medical needs of any other part of the gender spectrum. Well that was my experience many many years ago.

Thanks A/A & Alison. I have just (finally) managed to navigate my way through to (try) & join the group…membership pending!
I’ll update for other users once I get an answer. Let the fun begin.
We are still on topic – just yet to work out how to find out what others think about the endo in question.

Hi Chloe,

In answer to your question. Absolutely gorgeous man. Knows his stuff backwards. I’d place my life in his hands. In fact I have, and haven’t looked back since.

A somewhat biased response? Probably. But I’ve licked the ice cream and I want a double scoop.

You’ll be fine with him.

Hi I have been seeing him for about 2 years, every easy going. Can be a bit too easy going at times. Have no problems with him. He took over from Dr Steinbeck Any questions just ask.

Quick update; I have now been accepted for membership to ATSN & I have received numerous welcomes already (first day).

Thank you to all who have provided info on Dr Jonathon Hayes, both on the forum & privately by email.

He seems to be highly regarded by his patients & that includes complimentary comments from non Tg people as well.

My appointment is not until April…once I’ve seen him I will offer my initial opinion of him.

If anyone else has any experience with him please continue to advise for the benefit of others as well.

Quick update;
I have seen Dr Hayes a number of times now & find him to be a very nice & knowledgeable person. He has extensive experience with Tg people & appears to sincerely care about their wellbeing. His approach (in my case) has been thorough & systematic to ensure that should any unwanted side effects occur, that it is easy to identify what of the 3 components of HRT is causing the unwanted effect/s. His approach seems sensibly cautious but does not require unnecessary visits/cost.

A referral from a GP is all that is required to see him but implementation of HRT requires the O.K. of a psychiatrist.
