Title: Where to find mtf SRS surgeons
Post by: Katrina on June 13, 2016, 08:45:26 PM
My insurance now covers SRS (yay!) but a google search is turning up nothing but a couple of doctors in San Fran and a couple doctors in New York City.  The latter is still pretty far from me, given my home in Watertown NY. Is there a resource where I can plug in my zip code and find the nearest surgeons? I already have to drive a couple hours getting to my endo in Syracuse. I hope I don't have to go that much further for a surgeon...

Surgeons with that type of skill are not real common but we know of 20 in the United State and they can be found  Here (https://www.susans.org/links/Healthcare/Gender_confirmation_surgeons/North_America/)

Yup, that's why the waiting lists are so long. Dena, thanks for beating me to that, you're making my job easy!  ;D

Hugs, Devlyn

Not all of those are SRS surgeons.

   Come over here, I'm not sure but it's probably less expensive than in the US, most everything is and I heard that the surgeons are among the best.

                                                      Cheers, Rose.
