Phallo: I Finally Found a Urologist in Florida!

April 29, 2024. After nearly two years of trying to establish urological care in my home state of Florida, I finally found a urologist who is not only willing to treat me, but who has trans experience!
Seeing Dr. Ross Everett this morning at the University of South Florida in Tampa for a consult for a cystoscopy under anesthesia and Optilume.

Best wishes with you outcomes
Dr Santucci was my surgeon for RFFF in 02/2021 w/o UL and he is a great urologist
I’m from St Pete living in Tarpon now

I hope you get the help you want, and I hope this one does a good job too! You've been through a lot these past years, so I send you the best of luck and good vibes from northern Minnesota! I hate the mayo, nothing but bad treatment from them.

[@charlesasher]

Thank you, man! What’s crazy is your Mayo offered to take me, but not the one that is local to me. I am glad I didn’t end up going with them - much easier to stick with Santucci!

@@charlesasher That's odd they'd offer, but won't let their own in. I'm glad you stuck closer to home, here's my story with trigger words and descriptions if you want to read it:
I went to mayo once for lower abdominal pain, they never even took an xray or anything to see if I had anything going on at the time. They just referred me for "intra-vaginal" physical therapy. And I was dysphoric about that area in the first place. A whole week filled with useless appointments and $1000 later from food and hotel fees was to just have a doctor stick their fingers up there for half an hour pushing on muscles inside to "release their tension" I never went back. I found out later I had a surgical clamp left in me from my first one sided oophorectomy (PCOS). Once I had my hysto and other ovary removed, the clamp was mysteriously gone, and the surgeon who left it in in the first place blamed it on a plastic filshie clip (which clearly was metal and not a clip, in the xrays that were taken at a different clinic). 🤨🙄😒
Fun times. Mayo failed me greatly on that one.

Audio is very poor.but I hope all is well

Thanks! Not sure what’s wrong with the audio, sounds normal to me.
