Jess Ting, MD

I had my vaginoplasty with Dr. Ting 7 months ago and I'm SO happy with my result. He did such a neat and tidy job, especially with the aesthetics. My vagina looks healthy and happy. I have full sensation, more than every before, and was able to orgasm at 2.5 months postop.
The quality of care was superb. The stay at the hospital was awesome. His entire team is fantastic and what's cool is he is actively training fellows in his program. I can't recommend him highly enough.

As requested, here is a before photo of what my penis looked like before my vaginoplasty procedure. I also included a 3 month postop photograph. Hope this helps give a a fuller timeline of my transition! (:

My surgery was on November 29th, 2017 and I took a picture of it every day for almost a year (starting about 1 month after the surgery). This is a time lapse video of my healing process set to the theme song of the Lone Ranger. Enjoy.

Dr. Ting preformed my Gender Confirmation Surgery as well as FFS. all within three months of each other. Dr. Ting is professional, detail oriented and what's more important he sets your expectations realistically as far as results are concern. His office staff are helpful n effective. If you are lucky enough to have Mr. Eckerd as your PA he will make the process as smooth as possible. I highly recommend Dr. Ting

Amazing! ALL around. All of my cousultations he made he feel like he knew what he was doing. Very kind, him and his staff. Post Surgery looks great! I really have no complaints. Should I decide to move forward with any more surgeries, he will be the top candidate!

Incredible work by Jess Ting and Mount Sinai's Center for Transgender Medicine and Surgery in NYC. The photo was taken at 3 weeks post op. Highly recommended. Dr. Ting is a highly gifted surgeon who, along with his team, made my surgery experience a very smooth one.

My story with doctor Ting's office was a long one. It took me 2 years to get a surgery date and 3 trips to New York just to do small assessment that could have been done by my main doctor and forwarded to his office.

This office is so bad it's not even funny. I had called every month for the year leading up to my surgery to make sure i had everything necessary, they always said I did. But that was no where near the truth. A month before my operation, I was told to go off ALL of my meds because I was on two different Testosterone blockers and they wanted to make sure my blood wasn't too thin. Then, just two weeks later they called me and said they needs a bunch of lab work, a EKG, and a surgical clearance. This was the start of my 2 months off utter hell. I was told I had to have it in by Friday and this call was happening just before 5pm on thursday. I was screwed. But luckily, my doctors office was open until 8pm that night and we got them sent in just in time for that Friday deadline.

Now, the day of surgery arrives and my operation goes well to my knowledge. I wake up 2 hours later than I was supposed and scare a nurse because a lurched forward in my bed. This was to bad. However, once I sat there drinking 2 and a half of those super-sized cups of water -to which they said was basically going into my catheter but never had it checked- they took me upstairs to my room. But along the way, my mouth became so dry it suckered up like I bit a lemon and could not open, I could not even answer the nurses as they questioned me but none paid attention that I couldn't open my mouth and just got mad.

I'll be honest, once I got liquid into my mouth it was easy and this first night was going to be the only one that I'd like while at Mount Sinai. My night nurse -this tall and sweet blonde woman that I can't remember the name of- wasn't pushy and helpful, even if it was something as simply as itching my leg while my family slept on. She's the reason why I gave them a 3 stars on aftercare and her alone. 

The next three days were filled with nurses that tipped me backward and forced me to pull myself up the bed even though I told her I getting nauseous from the angle and one that faked to barely speak English when I could hear her talking in the hallway and the room next door as plain as day. When my family left for a break of the hospital on the third day while I rested, I asked the nurse if she could help me get cleaned up because I had been washed once since I went in she helped me into the bathroom, gave me the wipes and walked out while I was struggling not to collapse from dizziness. On that last day I finally had a bowel movement but as you may suspect, it wasn't in the bathroom but while I was eating. it ruined my appetite and when I again asked for help the nurse got mad at me for it. And finally, not only did I never get my paperwork from the doctors during discharge but they never told us where they sent my prescription or what they were until I was being discharged. I STILL don't have my paperwork showing I have had my surgery and can change my gender markers. So I'm stuck here with a big M on all my paperwork still.

They want me to come back in 3 months to see how everything is going and honestly, I don't want to go near them ever again. 

As these last two month passed by and the swelling went down, I noticed that the my inner labia look strange and that no matter how I moved or rested, the bottom of my vulva opened causing my vagina to be constantly exposed to everything around it and fill with air. Panties didn't help because that just caught the discharge from my yeast infection and forced it to go back inside my vagina. So now I just lay here naked with a puppy pad under me at all times to catch everything because my napkins were starting to make me chaff. My clit is fused to the clitoral hood, making it impossible to go back into safety from everything rubbing it and bacteria. Can't even wear shorts because it's constantly rubbing. Most would say that is a pleasurable thing but after it goes on for hours, pleasure starts having the same affect on you as pain. It's unbearable at times.

I hope I can get in with Marci Bowers to fix it, even though I know by the time I see here my labia with be completely one.

So I got surgery on November 11, 2022. It was the best day of my life. I was so happy all week later I had to go get my wound vac out. And my packing however, Justin was not there which he should happen. It was just a PA I saw, adjusting the second visit. Everything was going good. He gave me an 11 out of 10 in terms with healing . Then just before Christmas Eve the Wednesday before Christmas Eve I started to get swelling really bad and severe pain above my vulva. I contacted them before they were on vacation. They did not respond any of my emails. I went in for a visit to get some stitches removed that were dissolvable, but they were really bothering me, Dr. Cohen, his fellow is the one that saw me they said I was fine to go home. Two days later I was in the hospital with a severe infection that no one knows what it is. CT scan shows a mass that humongous looks like a tumor on the outside of my vaginal canal , they have tried so many different antibiotics since Christmas Eve today is 27 November nothings working the swelling is getting worse. Pain is getting worse and literally their communication with me is so slim to none. I feel like a guinea pig the results were amazing but now it’s swollen so bad it’s literally destroying my whole father and no one will do anything except keep giving me antibiotics that aren’t working tomorrow and explain the doctor Cohen what’s going on she just keeps justifying that we have to keep trying different antibiotics in terms of my review, you’ll definitely get good work done by Justin but if you have complications which are very very common, they are not a tentative at all. Me and my husband are definitely looking into legal matters because right now my life is in danger all because she ignored me from the visit. I went and saw her.

The only reason he and Mount Sinai gets 2 stars I’d because I didn’t die and didn’t catch any infections......I trusted him and Mount Sinai hospital with both my body and transition only to be left with botched work! They are horrible! Once they are done with you and get your money the aftercare is sparse and your not seen again until weeks/months later because they’ve taken on so many cases they can’t keep up! This is the biggest let down of my life!....He did a HALF ASS JOB!!! I now have to spend my own money to fix the horrible job he did!
My issues are:
Clitoris is too far in....mind you I lost 50 pounds before SRS so weight not a factor, the moment he took the packing out his first words were “Where’s the clitoris?” Like I was the one who was supposed to know!
Labia Majora too big and lopsided, the left labia is 2 times bigger than the other and the right side is flat
I have NO inner lips (labia minora)
There’s a mound of erectile tissue left inside above my vaginal canal which makes entry difficult when having sex
He left WAY too much erectile tissue around the clitoris with gives the impression of a big huge round hole around my clitoris
Let excess skin around the opening of my vaginal canal with makes sex difficult
Do NOT be seduced with the fact they take insurance! They are NOT experienced experts on SRS like other known surgeons!

Hello ladies just updating everyone..at this time I’m scheduled for a major revision with Dr. Marci Bowers in California summer of 2022. I’m on her waiting list since last January 2020, it’s May 1st as of today..yes it’s a VERY long wait but with my atrocious SRS from Dr. Ting I only waited 9 months and faster isn’t always better!! I had to learn the hard way....but time does flies....half of 2020 is almost passed so another year is worth the wait. I am able to orgasm and there’s wetness when I orgasm but for me the AESTHETIC of my vagina is subpar! Here’s more photos....too mush erectile tissue was left inside my vagina and around my clitoris and there’s too much hanging skin with not kind of structure whatsoever and no labia minora.....the opening is covered my skin and my clitoris is too far in.....ladies you have my permission to share my results with others....get the word out there....be careful of Dr. Ting, you only have 1 time to botch me!

So I was just informed by another trans woman that reached out to me after she had her consultation with Ting, she showed him my results on this site and questioned him about his botched work. Not only did Ting become defensive and rude to that trans woman and also became dismissive. She informed me that he purposely stays off RealSelf due to his bad reviews and during her consultation he was being dismissive trying to convince her it was good work. She also informed me that he asked her “why didn’t she come back??” LOL like dude you botched me! I will NEVER let you touch me again!!! I don’t have to step in dog poo twice to know it stinks! Ultimately he became so rude to her after she showed him his own shotty work that she cut the consultation short and canceled her SRS with him. Good! Mount Sinai and Ting is taking advantage of girls insurance money and rushing them out so fast without LONG TERM CARE! If I can save 1 woman the heartache I didn’t go through this in vain. Ladies share my pictures as much as you can and warn other transgender women about this surgeon!

I’m scheduled for my revision consultation next month at NYU for Dr. Rachel Bluebond-langner. I hope that she can fix the mess that Dr. Jess Ting the butcher did!

I wish I had NEVER gone to Mount Sinai and let Ting operate on me! They made this the WORST experience of my life! They’re horrible!
