Posted by stargate1965z @stargate1965z, Jul 17, 2023

Hi all!

Does anyone know if there are doctors that specialize in gender reassignment surgery at the Mayo Clinic in Minnesota? I’m a trans man and I’m in need of some bottom surgery. Thanks!

The VA is taking care of my medical part. All that I'm looking for is bottom surgery from your surgeon.

I’m still trying to find out if my wife’s insurance will cover my bottom surgery. I really hope that if they do that I’ll find a surgeon at the Mayo hospital in Minnesota.
