Post by: Kristyn on August 30, 2010, 08:09:08 AM
Dr. Brassard has a new surgeon starting in January due to high demand.  The new surgeon is a woman with training in GRS.

That's the first thing I thought when I first read this.  It's mind blowing to think that he's really that busy!

It sounds like he's doing the same thing Menard did with him? I'm betting Brassard was used to having less of a workload until this last year?  It just so happens I found an article today talking about Menard retiring that might explain...if the rumour is even true. If the link isn't allowed or something...sorry! http://www.xtra.ca/public/National/Celebrated_genital_surgery_doc_retires-7971.aspx (http://www.xtra.ca/public/National/Celebrated_genital_surgery_doc_retires-7971.aspx)

sorry but McGinn isn't struggling lol She is well established in the Papillon Gender Wellness Center in New Hope, PA which she founded and has plenty of work. She is doing 2 surgeries weekly, and office visits the rest of the week. She's booked ahead at least 9 months to a year in advance. She just did an interview with Oprah Winfrey in fact, which I hope will be on before I go back to Australia. I love Dr. McGinn but she doesn't seem to be lacking for work. ;)

I was going to say, McGinn seems to really be picking up, When I was there in July for a follow up, they were scheduling consultations no less than 3 months out, and surgery scheduling is further and further out. It will be interesting to see who it is if the rumors are true, wouldn't be surprised if a new face comes on the scene.

When I had my surgery, there was a woman who was following him  around as he made his rounds.  I believe this may be the same person who will be the new kid on the block.  Not Bowers, not McGinn.
