Patient Testimonials
"In February of 2011, I experienced the most challenging and at the same time, the most gratifying and rewarding time in my life. At 66 years of age, I underwent SRS,FFS and breast augmentation. And the results are spectacular. Words cannot begin to describe how pleased I am. Dr. Meltzer is so much more than an accomplished surgeon - he is an artist. Because of him I am now a complete, functioning attractive woman. And throughout it all, Dr. Meltzer treated me with the utmost competence, caring, dignity, respect and most of all kindness. And his wonderful staff did likewise." JoAnne B. 5/2/11 |
"From my first meeting with Dr. Meltzer, at the Gender Odyssey Conference in Seattle in 2008, I was confident that I had not only made the right decision to select Dr. Meltzer as my surgeon, but also to move forward with bottom surgery [pedicle flap]. Because phalloplasty is often a contentious discussion topic amongst FtMs, and therefore difficult to discuss openly and honestly in support groups and on listservs, for fear of verbal attack from detractors in the community who believe the procedure to be unnecessary and inadequate, I am grateful to Dr. Meltzer and his amazing staff for their support, dedication and professionalism." |
| "I couldn't have asked for a better experience with Dr. Meltzer and his staff. Pre-operatively, through the surgeries, and post-operatively, they have been wonderful at answering all of my questions and making me feel more comfortable going into the surgeries, as well as providing post-operative support and guidance. I was particularly nervous going into the urethral extension as I had heard other guys' encounters of having complications with their urethra (not necessarily with Dr. Meltzer, but with other surgeons; I was completely aware that Dr. Meltzer has a really low complication rate and that is one of the reasons I decided to have him do my surgeries). Dr. Meltzer did a great job at putting my mind at ease. I walked out of my pre-op appt feeling completely assured that things would go well, and they did. To date, I have encountered no problems whatsoever with my urethra. After getting back home, I encountered a yeast infection. Dr. Meltzer's nurse, Tasha, did an awesome job following up with me via telephone every so often. My local doctor was going to be out of the office for a month after diagnosing my yeast infection. Tasha insisted I call her with any questions I have during that time. She said I could always call her with questions, but particularly since my doctor was going to be out of the office she made it a point to let me know she was available to answer questions. While recovering from surgery in Scottsdale, only a few days post-op, I found myself unable to sleep due to excruciating pain when I would move around, so I was bed-ridden for the most part. I ended up having to call Dr. Meltzer in the early morning hours and he knew exactly what it was and made it a point to drop by the hotel later that day. It's really nice to have a doctor who makes "house calls" when one is recovering from surgery. Dr. Meltzer's drivers have been really great too. Not only have they been good at communicating changes to my appt times and such, but they have gone above and beyond the call of duty. In returning to the hotel after having the mons resection (done as out-patient), his driver physically helped me out of the car, walked me into the hotel room and made sure I was comfortable before she left. Given my experience with Dr. Meltzer and his staff, there is absolutely no way I would have ever considered going to a different surgeon. I honestly can't say enough good things about Dr. Meltzer and his staff!" Tyler R. 5-8-11 |
"You always feel like your Dr. Meltzer's only patient. While in the hospital, I didn't think he had any other patients, but being in his waiting room a few days later, I realized how many people he serves. I would have never known otherwise because he and the staff are always so present and all the attention is on you." Chris M. |
