Frequently Asked Questions

Am I a candidate for surgery?

When we meet we will review what is required to prepare for your surgery. You will receive details instructions and the option for me to audio-record our discussion, and share it with you, so that you are not distracted from the discussion by having to take notes.

While our practice is out of network, we work with all health insurance companies, including Managed MediCal (Medicaid) and all other commercial health insurance companies.

How long is the recovery process?

The length of hospital stay depends on what specific surgery you undergo. While in-hospital, you will have a private suite and 24/7 nursing care. You will receive detailed instructions about what to expect on each day of your recovery, and, how to care for yourself at home. You will be provided with specific necessary self-care items if they are necessary.

Do you offer virtual consultations?

Yes, we offer Virtual Consultations. However, before we proceed with surgery, it will ne necessary to meet you in person.

What financing options are available?

We do offer financing options. However, we always make every effort to work with your health insurance company to cover the costs for our services. We suggest that you request that a referral from your insurance company to see us for your consultation, and ensure that this referral is sent to our office. After you are seen our office will work with your insurance company to establish an arrangement for your care.

How should I prepare before surgery?

You will be provided with very clear written (and audio-recorded) instructions for how to prepare for surgery. When permanent hair removal is required (typically only for primary gender-affirming genital surgeries), we will offer you to allow us to use an ink-marker to outline specifically where on your body you need permanent hair removal, and then to photograph this area using your smart-phone camera, so that you have a record that you can show to your permanent hair-removal specialist.
