What are people's experiences with Dr. Rumer? Has anyone used PA Medicaid to fund surgery? Or am I the first? It just happened; i.e. it's no longer excluded now based on Rule 1557 and the governor's okay.

I don't know. I'll tell you more on Feb. 27, after I attend my consultation with her.

Hi Spunky,
I just came across this thread and was wondering if you'd heard back from Dr. Rumer. I'm FTM and looking to have surgery with her but the last I heard she was still waiting for approval to accept PA Medicaid which is what I would be using to cover most of my surgery too. I'll probably call her office sometime it's just hard to with my current schedule so I figured it wouldn't hurt to ask here too.

I had a good experience overall. I give her an A-
She is a wonderful, warm, positive, caring and compassionate lady. I really connected well with her and we were on the same page pretty much the whole way.
I have a thread called The Big Day has arrived. Feel free to read it and ask questions.

hah! You were there while I was upstairs recovering. I was 5 days post-op at that point and about ready to go home.

When I booked my surgery back in July of last year, she was booked 6-7 months out. I booked for late February. Perfect time too.
