Hey guys, figured I'd make a post about getting surgery through Dr. Scott Mosser in San Francisco, as I haven't come across as much information about him in regards to top surgery as, say, Dr. Garramone.
I called his office and scheduled a consultation sometime in mid March (I forget the exact day), but I was scheduled for not long after that. I had a "virtual" consultation with him on April 1. That is to say, I spoke with him over the phone. I don't live that far away from SF (approx 3hrs) but he was happy enough to do it over the phone. Prior to the appointment, I had to fill out the standard patient history forms and email the office those along with photos of my chest at various angles.
Dr. Mosser was very courteous and professional when I spoke with him, and his main priority was to identify what my goals were and make sure I had realistic expectations for my chest. He requires a letter of recommendation, for surgery. I am not in therapy, and started HRT using Informed Consent through Planned Parenthood. I spoke to my doctor there, and she was happy to write me a letter and Dr. Mosser accepted that.
I am going with the double incision method. Today, I recieved my quote for the cost of surgery. It totals $9,665.25, that's including anesthesia, hospital fees, etc.
I will update further as I move along in this process. I am shooting for surgery in June-July.
