Title: Top Surgery in Philadelphia or in general PA
Post by: Darrin Scott on November 30, 2012, 07:45:11 PM
I am moving to that area and was wondering if anyone knew of the cost or had any experiences with either Kathy Rumer or The Papillon Center in New Hope, PA. Good or bad I just want to see if anyone has had any experience. I've just started saving for top surgery.

Papillion Clinic, that's Dr. Chris McGinn. She's more well-known in the mtf world as she is herself mtf. However, from what I have seen she does really great work. Don't know of anybody who has been to her though.

Dr. Rumer is very good, also. Dr. Rumer has her own post-op recovery center where you can stay, on-site, in a private room where she visits you each day. Additionally, she is extremely reachable and has an excellent bedside manner.

Though as a HS student she would have presented male. I think it is so cool that she is trans.
