Top Surgery in Arizona
Arizona has been a sought-after destination for Top Surgery since 2003, when Dr. Toby Meltzer relocated his private practice from Portland, Oregon, to Scottsdale. With this move, Dr. Meltzer became the first surgeon in Arizona to specialize in Top Surgery, establishing the state as a hub for gender-affirming care. Over the years, the demand for Top Surgery in Arizona has grown exponentially, but the availability of surgeons offering this specialized procedure has not kept pace with the rising need.
For those traveling from out of state for surgery, the Phoenix/Scottsdale area offers much more than excellent medical care—it’s a fantastic destination with warm weather, stunning desert landscapes, and numerous attractions. However, fall and winter are peak travel seasons, which can mean higher accommodation rates. If you're willing to brave the Arizona summer heat, you’ll find significant savings on lodging, making it a more budget-friendly time to plan your Top Surgery trip.
