I have a few surgeons in mind that are near me.
Dr. Russell Sassani
He has all 5 stars reviews from transmen he operated on.
Dr. Drew Schnitt
Seems pretty affordable but I'm having a hard time locating pictures.
Dr. Timothy Alexander
Among the cheapest in USA
Does anyone have any experience with these surgeons?
Even though Dr. Alexander has some of the cheapest prices, I'm iffy to go with someone because I believe in the phrase "You get what you pay for" and I'm worried I wouldn't be too happy. I'm still considering him as he's nearby but from the portfolio I found online, I'm not a big fan of this work.
My first option would be Dr. Sassani because of all the positive feedback and the pictures I found of men with the same size chest as me, seem to have really nice looking outcomes. I am requesting a consultation with him. He's the most expensive of the Florida surgeons on this list but again, I believe that the more I pay the better the outcome in most cases. I understand this isn't always true but from the pictures I've seen, it's pretty true here.
Since I've failed to locate a portfolio for Dr. Schnitt, I've requested a consultation in hopes to see some pictures in his office and to at least give him consideration.
These are the only three surgeons in Florida that I've located, but I haven't done too much research yet. If anyone has experience with a Floridian surgeon not listed above, I'd love some feedback on them.
Never heard of any of them, but that doesn't mean anything since new surgeons are popping up all the time.
If I was in Florida, Dr. Garramone would be the only surgeon I'd consider. He has been doing this for ages and has consistently excellent results.
I'll be having surgery with Dr. Sassani next week actually. If you have insurance coverage he does take it, however I'm paying out of pocket. I considered Garramone, but I'm not really comfortable with some of the things I've heard about him.
I went to Garramone. As Max said, amazingly consistent results. There have been jokes about being Garramone "clones". Three years ago, when I got mine done, he was doing 20-25 chests a week.
Sassani is becoming popular, from what I hear.
I have heard very bad things about Alexander. I think that is why he is so cheap.
Never heard of the other guy.
I considered Dr. Alexander until I actually googled him and I believe the term lawsuits and found that he had multiple surgeries that did not end up well. One in fact ended up with the person dying. Though not a top surgery the fact that the investigation said that it was essentially his fault was enough for me to stop considering him completely. I ultimately decided to go with Dr. Sassani I got the surgery date I wanted and it was over 4 months out. Im currently less than 45 days away and I couldn't be more confident in my choice. Ive emailed asking multiple questions in the intervening time and they've always replied promptly and the tone was always cheerful. Not to mention his results have been amazing considering he's only been doing top surgery for two years according to him. The phrase that resonated with me during his consult was he wanted to give results that he himself would want and wanted to treat his patients how he would want to be treated.
