My GCS surgery was done at UF/Shands on 7 Feb 2019. There were two lead surgeons (Dr Bruce Mast from Plastics, and Dr Laurence Yeung from Urology). Based on the number of others present in surgical prep, there well may have been a small group of 2nd tier docs there also.

I almost did not get my surgery, and for the most arcane reason. About a year before my surgery, Dr Mast got a big promotion. He got promoted to head of surgery at UF/Shands. That increased his admin workload to the point where he stopped accepting appointments from GCS patients. It was only by the oddest sequence of referrals, plus a back-channel call from Dr Yeung to Dr Mast, that he decided to 'do one more'. I may well have been his last, out of roughly 15.

But that may not be the end of the story, as UF/Shands is a teaching hospital. I know of at least one other candidate who has been interviewed by Plastics, about 6 months ago. So the situation there seems to be fluid. I know they were looking to hire a surgeon with MtF experience, so maybe they are working one in here or there, using staff that had been present (and learning) from the 15 or so that were done on site.

They treated me very well, and I would recommend them highly, assuming they're still doing procedures. It was incredibly handy to have my surgery done only 35 miles from my home, and 20 miles from where I was staying at the time. I know one or two of the previous MtF done there, whom I spoke with prior to my surgery via my own connections. Different people had different outcomes, one barely wanted to discuss it, other than it went OK.
