Can anyone point me in the right direction to find a good urologist. I live in California, but have no clue where to look for one that would be willing to do this. If you have any info please emaile me: raccoon_gurl_12345@hotmail.com . thanks so much in advance for your help.

I see you're TS, If all your letters together, you can get a CHEAP Orchi on the west coast, only $500. Worth thinkin about if you can travel...

Here is a list of surgeons who perform an Orchi...

Hi raccoongurl and welcome to the Archive I just wanted to let you know that I'm also a TS in California, and I'll admit it's hard to find resources where I live. Looks like you live in a different part of the state, and I'd guess it's even harder over there

The list that Jessica shared is a great one. If you don't have any letters, your only American option is probably going to be Dr. Kimmel, unless you're lucky enough to convince a local doctor to do it for you If you're considering him, I have been to him and would be glad to answer any questions you might have.

But if you can get a letter or two, you're going to have many more options, and the $500 one Jessica mentioned is the cheapest I know of. I believe the doctor who does that one requires all the rules to be met - 1 year RLE and 2 letters. Some others will do it for less RLE and only 1 letter, but more money.

I added you to MSN (assuming you have it); I hope you don't mind I would be glad to chat with you anytime.

I to live in Calif and my urologest done mine but i am a few years older then you and it is a large HMO that he works for.You can pm me if you want. I am near Sacramento good luck dear.
