Dr. Maurice Garcia Results?

[msforest]

Hi!

I received a call from my doctor today letting me know of my options for GRS now that I have my letters (yay!). My choices on their list were Dr. Maurice Garcia and Dr. Sinclair who I've heard bad things about soo.. I spent the day reading about Dr.Garcia and he actually seems like a promising candidate! From the limited amount of info I've found via google/youtube and forums on here about him, he seems to be a very capable/respectable surgeon.

But I figure it couldn't hurt to ask, are there any girls out there that went to Dr. Garcia for GRS? I'm going to try scheduling a consultation with him this coming week but I know that hearing from girls who have experience with him would be extremely helpful in my decision of whether or not he's the surgeon for me.

I'm also very curious of Dr. Garcia's technique and whether it's comparable to my dream surgeon's (Marci Bowers lol)

ps. sorry if this wasn't posted in the correct forum, I just made an account today and I'm still figuring things out!
Hope to hear from you soon,

Thanks! ^_^

I'm trying to think where I seen one of Garcia reviewers on YouTube or maybe she is on my suspended Facebook account ?!?! But either way she has had a good experience from him. She got the cosmetic surgery but can always go back to him (I think ) for the colovaginaplasty which she probably will not. She is an older trans woman

Thanks for replying Tina ^_^
you're right, I found his video on youtube which was super informative and helpful ( starts discussing his technique at 44:44! )

I'm still really hoping to find some girls to share their experience with him performing GRS.
Specifically I'd like to learn more about their post-op sensation and depth...which I'm sure Dr. Garcia will go over during our consultation but it'd still be best to hear from girls who have experienced his work firsthand (firstvagina? lol)

Welcome to Susan's Place. I think you may find more if you look in the Gender Correction area of the site as people commonly report their surgical experience in that area of the site. If you go to the GCS section of the site and enter the surgeons name in the search box located in the upper right hand corner of the screen, you should find several reports from others.

I pm'd you a link to some results for Dr Garcia.

I have a couple of friends who have been to Garcia and they love him. I also have friends who've been to Sinclar and they are generally happy with him. I personally would not go to Sinclar either and would definitely choose Garcia over him. He recently relocated to SoCal from the Bay Area to teach and run a trans program out of Cedars-Sinai. I was considering him when I deciding about my surgery two years ago.

Thank you for the info Jess! If it isn't too much to ask, do you know if either of your friends would be open to starting a line of communication with me? Even email would work.

and which surgeon did you go with instead (if any) if you don't mind me asking?

I really appreciate the help! thanks again!

I can ask them. They are not members here.

I used Dr Gary Alter (yes I was Altered 😉) whose office is in Beverly Hills. He charges for consults and his surgical fee is probably one of the most expensive in the country. I had to pay upfront and was then reimbursed by my insurance company. I have a number of friends who have used him and all of us are very happy with our results.

What bad things did you hear about Dr. Sinclair? I'm considering him or Garcia too

[tawnisofia]

I have done a consult with him and will be scheduling SRS with him.

Hi, I'm new to the site. I was wondering if someone could point me in the direction of results photos of GCS by Dr. Garcia. I had a consultation with him a few months ago. The only things that didn't sit well were the lack of a portfolio, no self-lubrication, and he said I could only expect about 5" or less of depth... Still I'm considering him bc the thought of spending $20k to go to Thailand isn't that great either.

Hello Sojourn, welcome to Susan's!

I had my GCS with a different surgeon - I am not familiar with Dr. Garcia.  Since this was your first post I'll add information to help with navigation and site guidelines.

When you get a chance, would be great if you can introduce yourself in the Introductions Forum.

Best wishes on GCS, and glad to see you here!

Narrowed my choices down to Dr Dugi in Oregon and Dr Maurice Garcia at Cedars-Sinai. Had my consult with Dr Garcia in Jan 2018, he is a very genuine and caring Dr and he demonstrates that he does this for sincere reasons. He cost a basic specialist copay on my insurance and the pics he shared with me shows that's his knife skills are excellent. The are finishing off my pre-auth and I am scheduled for surgery in September .. Earliest I can get time off work. I am sure I will be happy with the results.

Hi all I have now had my first stage of GRS completed with Dr. Garcia and am happy with the the results so far and will be going back in October for my second and final stage wish me luck. I will say this Dr. Garcia cares very much and is in it to help and not for the money he has gone above and beyond in his care. I.E giving me his personal cellphone and calling and texting me while on vacation in another country to make sure I am ok 😁. My Ob who is Dr. Rixt Luikenaar is also impressed and says the results look great. PM me if you'd like to ask more.

Hi,

I had my orch. with Dr. Garcia back in Feb. this year and am concerning him for GRS surgery. I have been approved by Dr. McGinn. She can do my surgery this year but she's out of network so I will have to pay for a portion of the surgery. I am on the Bowers waiting list and also on her scheduled list for Mar. 05, 2020. UCLA has a new GRS surgeon Dr. Ng which I have an appointment to see in a few weeks, why not. Can I contact you directly?? tlewis@lapl.org or Tara Lewis on facebook or 818-219-3975.

Hi, I'm also considering Dr. Garcia. Does anyone have any results they can share?

[bree111]

Honestly, I would NOT recommend him, unless you have no other choice. The only good thing I can say is that the wait time was relatively short. The person who got a call/text I guess is one of the lucky few.. I guess he must like you a lot! For me, he has ignored my concerns. I had gender reassignment/vaginoplasty done a month ago. I developed a rectovaginal fistula which I am dealing with with other doctors, and he doesn't even want to respond to my emails. Before that, I had random heavy bleeding the day after they removed the catheter. It was bleeding heavily for 3-4 days, a few times a day it would start to bleed when I was walking and I lost tons of blood, many paper towels soaked with blood each time it happened. He told me to come down there so that he can explore the problem, put me under anesthesia, check out the area, etc, he said he would be there at 3:30 the day I came down and have an operating room available. I drove 6 hours, got there, and he didn't feel like showing up so I stayed overnight and the next day he didn't even want to see me, he had one of his staff just take a quick look at me and make sure I wasn't dying. He eventually came in for a few minutes and just looked at it quickly and sent me home. Also, the results look really bad. Really bad. I would say a 3/10 in terms of appearance. It looks nothing like a vagina, actually. I would be HAPPY to share pictures, bree1111111@gmail.com Unless you really can't wait, I would NOT recommend Dr. Garcia.
