Wuz up All,

I have scoured the web and can not find one example of this doc's chest work for FTM's. He is very well known...just feels odd..that folks like Garramone and Fischer and Brownstein...can be found all over you tube and every where else.

Had a phone consult with him last week. Just trying to do some investigating.

Peace

He is well known for working with trans women.

This is the first I've heard of any mention of him working with trans men. He's probably very new as far as procedures for trans guys. I would advise going with someone with LOTS experience in chest reconstruction. Translation: Don't be a guinea pig for Dr Z to practice on.

thanks for the feedback y'all. Leah I believe you are correct. Not to mention that his price is a bit out there compared to some others.

Hey Y'all,

I did request photos of Dr. Z's work and I was told "there are no photos available online". There was no mention of whether or not I could even see them at his office. Also, I asked if he had a patient referrer list. I was sent the name and email of ONE patient. Which just felt a bit bogus to me. A few days ago I received the folder from stuffed with his quote for surgery, his lengthy curriculum vitae, and many pages of articles and such that he has written. I am taking Leah's advice most definitely. I have a phone consult coming up with Dr. Garramone....and face to face consult comind up with Dr. Fischer.

Be Peace

I think that no photos available except for one patient and just articles that he has written sends up red flags for me.

Most of the doctors may not have a lot of patients that want to be used as references but most have websites with testimonials and photographs and articles that have been written about them as well as the ones that they have written,

Seems like he is very new to this area, he might be very good but I would like the experienced surgeon myself.

Love ya,

Sally

Yes, I would definetly want to see more that one photo of one patient. Remember this is serious stuff and you should look around for someone with lots of Testomonials and References.

      @Adrianna DanielleSeeing two different therapist for separate issues really helped me deal with the each of them on different levels. I hope this works for you too.   Hugs,   Mindy🌈🐛🏳️‍⚧️🦋

      I seem to remember the word "deplorables" being used not long ago.  Unfortunately so often appropriate.   Hugs,   Charlize

      It was not that long ago that black people were banned from the University of Mississippi.  Schools were segregated and the same excuse of protecting the women (or girls) of old miss.  Times and many feeling have changed with time and federal intervention.  Unfortunately politicians love to separate and divide to gain power.     Hugs,   Charlize

      I agree @Birdieto just "fit in", is what drove us to therapy. I'm not fitting in just to please someone with a closed mind. At least you know who your fair weather friends are now.   Hugs,   Mindy🌈🐛🏳️‍⚧️🦋

      Yesterday in the lobby some of the residents were talking with me. One asked, "how come in all the TV commercials at the centre you don't appear in any of them?"   I explained that, "I'm an embarrassment to the centre and they don't know what to do with me." I get edited out!   Quite the differing options with the ladies at the table as some of them said, "that's discrimination", while others said, "they can see why."   Another lady said, "you would fair better if you cut your hair and went back to overalls, you should strive to fit in!"   Their opinions are as meaningful to me as rubbish. I did 45 years of trying to "fit in", and not doing that again. 😉

      Gosh, missed Monday again.   Did you know that Producer Keith Oslen was distraught because the duo his recorded Buckingham-Nicks first album went nowhere? In walked Mick Fleetwood also distraught because once again Flleetwood Mac lost a guitarist in Bob Welsh and he was at least going studio shopping and came to Sound City in LA because he'd heard the drum sound they got there was incredible. He asked Oslen to play something recorded there. Olsen played some of Buckingham-Nicks and Fleetwood loved the sound of the guitarist and wanted Buckingham. Olsen said he comes with Nicks because Olsen managed both. Fleetwood didn't want Nicks but eventually the remaining Mac members said okay and next thing you know - the Fleetwood Mac that scored a huge following was born. Sadly right after the "Fleetwood Mac" album and before "rumours" was recorded, the band got huge headed and got rid of Oslen so they didn't have to play him a lot of music they wanted to keep. Olsen did ok after by recording Ozzy Osbourne, the Grateful Dead, Whitesnake, Pat Benatar, Heart, Santana, Saga, Foreigner, Scorpions, Journey, The Babys, Emerson, Lake & Palmer, Joe Walsh, 38 Special, and Eric Burdon & the Animals, among others. BTW - Olsen was also a members in 1967 of a band called Music Machine (not the James Taylor one) that scored a huge hit with the song "Talk Talk"

      Still on contentment high from Sunday.
    • Heather Shay
      CONTENTMENT The relentless pursuit of happiness often overshadows the more subtle yet profound emotional state of contentment. While happiness may be a fleeting high, contentment is the gentle hum of satisfaction that resonates through the soul, offering a sustainable path to life satisfaction. Oscar Wilde's poignant observation encapsulates this truth: "True contentment is not having everything, but in being satisfied with everything you have."
