FFS Surgeons In Ohio

[Maple02345]

Trying to choose between Dr. Bradley Nesemeier at OSU Wexner in Columbus, Dr. Ali Totonchi at MetroHealth and Dr. Cyrus Rabbani at University Hospitals, both in Cleveland. Does anyone have experience with any of them? I've been hard pressed to find enough information or a real endorsement to confidently make a decision between them.

I have insurance sorted and consultations scheduled with each of them

Hello Maple

My name is Sarah B and I would also like to formally, Welcome you to Susan's Place!

I see that other members of Susan's have also welcomed you as well.

You are in a strong position, having consultations scheduled with all three surgeons. When choosing between surgeons for female feminization surgery (FFS), it is important to consider a combination of professional expertise, patient experiences, and personal comfort level with the surgeons. Here's some advice you might find useful:

• Prepare Questions for Consultations.  Ask each surgeon's experience with female feminization surgery (FFS), review before and after photos and inquire about risks, recovery, and the procedures they recommend.
• Assess Comfort and Communication.  During consultations, evaluate how well the surgeon listens, communicates and addresses concerns. Comfort with the surgeon is crucial.
• Surgeon Specialization in FFS.  Determine how frequently each surgeon performs gender affirming surgeries to ensure they have the necessary experience.
• Insurance Considerations.  Check if insurance offers flexibility for out of network surgeons with more FFS experience if the current options feel insufficient.

Once you feel comfortable here, it would be appreciated if you add a little bit more about yourself in the other forums and threads.  I would appreciate it very much as, I'm always interested in learning something new about new members

In addition members of Susan's will more than likely will discuss problems or issues that are similar to yours as most have experienced these issues as well.

Take care and all the best for the future.

Once again, Welcome to Susan's Place!

Best Wishes Always

Nesemeier is leaving soon for Rush Affirm in Chicago, but how did it go with the other two?

I has been over 4 months since Maple posted her first and only post.  I do not know if she will return and post a comment about how she went with the other two surgeons.

I suggest that you read my post in regards to this issue.  To help you, if you are seeking FFS
