gender-affirming care
Learn more about Reconstructive Surgical Art’s gender health center in Columbus, Ohio.
Our medical practice specializes in gender health.
Our bodies (including our genitals) do not define our gender. In some individuals, there is a discrepancy between our authentic identity and our bodies. We aim to align these two entities. This alignment can be done in a variety of ways, including with medication and gender-affirming surgery.
Our Gender-Affirming Surgeon Specializes In Bottom Surgeries
Dr. McClung is a board-certified urologist with fellowship training in reconstructive and trauma surgery. The initial part of his career focused on cis-gender reconstruction, congenitalism, and trauma.
His introduction into the field of gender health was born out of the management of complications in patients who had bottom surgery elsewhere. After finding the satisfaction that came from working with gender diverse patients, he then began performing gender affirming surgeries himself. His practice is now entirely devoted to gender affirming care and he has performed hundreds of bottom surgeries.
Dr. McClung has over 15 years of dedicated experience performing complex urologic surgery
Our patients have very low rates of complications in a field where complications are common.
We provide thorough communication, always being accessible to patients when needed. This kind of access is unparalleled.
Our team offers more complete aftercare than most other providers. Dr. McClung will see you in office for follow ups as long as needed. We also refer every patient for pelvic floor physical therapy.
