Hi E.allen,
At the end of the day, selecting the surgeon that is most appropriate to you, is such a highly personal decision, that it really warrants personally visiting your short list of surgeons for you to make that decision.
Now I appreciate that may not be an easy thing to do. However, transition in itself is never easy. In he end, this is ALL about YOU. Nobody else. Totally your responsibility. And yes; I visited all 3 of the surgeons short listed. That's how I made the final decision.
Transition, as you know, changes every fibre in your body. It deserves the respect to ensure your total and complete happiness in what you do and where this will take you afterwards. It demands doing whatever it takes, no short cuts; there is no second chance.
Love
Catherine
