Hi,I was about to visit Dr Marc Arnkoff to get my orchiectomy done, but he stopped taking patients yesterday (Jan 19, 2022). I'm looking to find a different surgeon (urologist?) who could perform a bilateral orchiectomy, and who is pretty well reviewed. I'd prefer someone in NYC or Boston, but I'm willing to travel around the US.

I had mine done by him. He was the only one i could find that wasn’t being a gatekeeper from hell. Sign a paper pay him the cash and he did the work no questions asked.. i healed amazing too

I called his office and they said he is no longer taking patients. He recommended some other doctors in the area which I could list for you, but I was going to go to Michigan just for him. I don't really care to see anyone else near him.

His website no longer exists and the domain is for sale.

I should have gotton reviews before my urologist butchured me exactly 1 year ago. But lucky I found Dr. Boris Volshteyn. 732-641-3350. Plastic Surgeon in West Long Branch, NJ. Closer to NYC https://www.atlanticsurgicalassociates.com/ is there other office. He did a radical scrotectomy last May. I am very satisfied with the results and the apearasnce.

Whaaaaaaat? Nooooo! I was going to text him tomorrow morning, but found your post just now. I'm wanting to get the orchie specifically for HRT - I want to avoid high doses of E and don't want to take spiro. I'm trying to find someone that can do it with little or no wait - I'm planning to start HRT in the 2nd week of Feb.

Edit: I should have my first letter in about a week, and I'm hoping I'll have a 2nd letter within a week or two after that.
