[Asking MtF people who have had genital surgery, ideally in Chicago]
Hello! I started talking to my doctor yesterday about finding a surgeon for a bilateral orchiectomy. We both agreed Chicago would probably be a practical place to find someone experienced in the procedure.
I found two doctors: Dr. Loren Schechter, MD, and Dr. Traci P. Beck, MD. Both have come up in my searching, but I wanted to check if anyone in the community has advice / recommendations for who to go to.
Dr. Schechter is who did mine and he was great. The old reviews I saw said his care team at the time were bad and that his bedside manor was clinical. He answered all my questions, did great work, has a new care team. Mine was done is 2022. My ex girlfriend also went to him after I did so I got to go back a few months ago and say hi. I saw her results after as well helping her at home and her and her boyfriend are happy. If insurance will cover it I recommend going to the nursing care facility if you leave over an hour away from Rush.
