"I had FTM Top Surgery with Dr. Whitehead and Dr. Ramirez and I literally could not be happier with my treatment and results. At 2 months out, I look and feel amazing and am finally comfortable in my own body. Dr. Whitehead and Dr. Ramirez were nothing but patient and kind with me and my family, happily answering questions, addressing concerns, and attending to any needs I had. Of all the options I had, I could not be more glad that I came to them. If you are looking for a high quality, affordable surgeon who cares about your well being and results, this is the practice for you. They are worthy of higher praise and gratitude than I can provide." — Alexander G.
