Toby Meltzer
Toby R. Meltzer (born September 19, 1957) is a plastic and reconstructive surgeon who currently practices in Scottsdale, Arizona.〔C. Beam ''Transparent: Love, Family, and Living the T with Transgender Teenagers'' pg 133-135 Harcourt 2007 ISBN 0-15-101196-6〕 Meltzer specializes in sex reassignment surgery male-to-female, sex reassignment surgery female-to-male, and facial feminization surgery. In the 1990s, Meltzer pioneered the neovaginal construction technique that increased the ability of the neoclitoris to feel sensations.〔A. Lawrence ''"Patient-Reported Complications and Functional Outcomes of Male-to-Female Sex Reassignment Surgery"'' pg 720-723 Archives of Sexual Behavior Springer Netherlands Volume 35, Number 6 / December, 2006 〕 In 2007, Meltzer reported that he performs 2-4 vaginoplasties a week, and that he has performed over 3000 male and female sexual reassignment (SRS) surgeries during his practice.〔Questions ''(How many vaginoplasties/GRS procedures has Meltzer performed and how often does he do them? )'' Official Site〕 Meltzer is considered one of the leading surgeons in this specialized field.〔J. Roughgarden ''Evolution's Rainbow: Diversity, Gender, and Sexuality in Nature and People'' pg 285 University of California Press 2004 ISBN 0-520-24073-1〕
==Education and early practice==
Meltzer is a graduate of the Louisiana State University school of medicine, where he completed a residency in general surgery. He completed his plastic surgery residency at the University of Michigan.〔Biography ''(SSTAR 2006 31st Annual Meeting )'' Society for Sex Therapy and Research pg 80〕 Meltzer then began his practice, while working as a clinical professor of plastic surgery at Oregon Health Sciences University (OHSU). There he specialized in general surgery, plastic surgery, and completed a fellowship in surgery for treatment of severe burn injuries.
Working with the chief of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery Division at OHSU, he began training in SRS surgical techniques. Meltzer researched and interviewed pediatric urologists with experience treating children born with ambiguous genitalia, and surgeons already performing vaginoplasty surgeries such as the late Stanley Biber. In 1993 he began performing vaginoplasty surgeries, which eventually became a large part of his practice. In 1996, he opened his own private practice in Portland, Oregon.〔Dean Kotula ''The Phallus Palace: Female to Male Transsexuals'' pg 174, Alyson Publications (2002) ISBN 1-55583-654-2〕 He relocated his practice to Scottsdale, Arizona, U.S.A. in 2003 becoming the first doctor in the state of Arizona to specialize in gender reconstruction surgery.〔Associated Press ''(Sex change surgeon relocating to Arizona )'' Dec. 12, 2002 Tuscan Citizen〕
Meltzer was forced to relocate to Scottsdale after a conservative physicians consortium, Symphony Healthcare, purchased Eastmoreland hospital. Meltzer was reportedly forced out due to Symphony's hefty price increase, that some claim was a ruse due to the conservative corporation's objections to transsexual surgery. According to reports, Meltzer's surgeries accounted for 50 percent of the hospital's revenue. Symphony Healthcare filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection less than two years later.〔Tennessee Vals Newsletter ''()'' July 2004〕
