TransHealthCare
Gender-Affirming Surgeons
The TransHealthCare website helps identify gender affirming surgeons according to state, procedure, insurance type, country, and/or surgeon name. This customizable search function can be used to narrow down options based on individual factors (i.e., finance, travel requirements, etc.). Once feasible options have been identified, evaluation of online reviews, photo galleries, testimonials, and so forth can help identify the best choice for the individual patient.
