Keyhole Surgery - Mistergreenside - 03-25-2021
Hey guys! First time posting here and I came to these forums in hopes that someone could help me locate a surgeon close to my area (NE TN) that specializes in Keyhole. This is my first time inquiring about surgery so I don’t know much about it or the process of finding a surgeon. Any help or info is appreciated.
P.S. My pronouns are he/him and I am FTM

Hey there! Do you have insurance? If so, I suggest getting in touch with the team at Vanderbilt. It's not NE TN, but they have a full gender surgery program there and take all kinds of insurance. https://www.vanderbilthealth.com/program/gender-affirming-surgery
If you don't have insurance, Dr. Marvel uses informed consent (so a therapist letter isn't required.) https://www.topsurgery.net/surgeons/dr-jeffrey-marvel.htm
If you have any questions, just let me know!

I’m fortunate enough to still have insurance through my state so I’m hoping to use that if possible. Thank you so much for replying and your suggestions! I’m going to check out the links you posted to see if these options are a fit for me!

Hi!
Sorry for rebounding on this post, but can you confirm that Vanderbilt will do keyhole surgery?
RE: Keyhole Surgery - Joshua - 07-13-2021
No apology needed! I can't say with 100% certainty that they do Keyhole but I would expect any academic gender surgery program to have surgeons who can do keyhole.
