Dr. Hudson is experienced in the emotional and physical aspects of such issues and can advise you about the value of surgery in your situation. in addition he has training in Mental Health Counseling and is uniquely qualified to help you make your decision.
All patients considering gender surgery need to be in psychotherapy with a therapist experienced in gender issues for many months prior to and following the surgery. Six to twelve months before and after is usually recommended. This is for your own safety and well-being. In ALL cases, as a pre-requisite to performing surgery, Dr. Hudson requires a letter before surgery from your psychotherapist that surgery will improve your emotional health, and well-being. This letter can be sent by fax to Dr. Hudson as soon as you and your therapist think that you are ready to consider surgery.
