Does anyone know how far out in advance Crane will allow you to schedule (like say, 1 year?)

Also, does anyone know what his wait time currently is for a metoidioplasty with the "full works"?

Over a year for wait time or I can schedule more than a year in advance?  I assume you are saying more than a year for wait time, but just checking.

They never got back to me.

Thanks.

For wait time.
I asked on January 2014, and they said they were scheduling for 2015, but they could only get me on the waiting list because they won't know the specific dates when the Crane would be in town.
So I scheduled a phone consultation with Crance in March (2 months waiting time for only a 15 min phone consult), and after that, I told the office staff to put me on the waiting list for phallo, and they said yes.
Apparently they forgot.
When I followed up again about the scheduling summer 2014, they told me the earlist date possible would be Oct. 2015. I was completed frustrated and asked would it be a shorter waiting time if I chose meta instead of phallo, and they said no, same waiting time.

I admire Dr. Crane's skills and reputation, but he really needs better business managerment. I think he might have very few OR days in the hospital so his scheduling just can't keep up with the demand.
