WORTH IT
Dr. DeLeon, and her entire practice are some of the kindest, most professional people I've met in my entire life- Trans-surgery is the only thing these angels do.
I recently had my MTF Vaginoplasty done with them and the team at Westlake Medical Center in Austin.
The pain was horrible, BUT the physicians were VERY aggressive with pain medication, and the nurses were responsive in their response when a medication was requested.
This medical center are VERY well educated in LGBTQIA issues, and this 23 bed hospital serves as one of the busiest LGBT hospitals in the country
All pictures are within a week post-op, so don't think that's truly the final result!

Hello how much was surgery and do you have her email?
August 22, 2018
Hey!
My insurance covered it, and I think they billed insurance around $23,000 give or take, but prices are different when insurance is involved, so absolutely contact them.
I would go to their website, and fill out one of their patient intake forms so they can help you more specifically.
Their forms are on their website (along with pictures of their work), http://brownsteincrane.com/
But, if you have general questions, admin@brownsteincrane.com
This is an amazing practice, the pictures are great, the surgeons are compassionate as hell (though, as surgeons go, not great with communication), but they all care, and Curtis Crane who's incharge of the show really has built this amazing practice, out of California and Austin, Tx.
I had to travel far to get there (Surgery in Austin, I live in Pittsburgh.), I would do that again in a heartbeat. Totally worth it.

Thank you how long was the waiting list
August 22, 2018
They had no waiting list.
They had just added another surgeon onto their practice, but now, I just looked at their website, there's 10 or 11 of them now, so I would assume the wait list is still pretty nil. That's a lot of surgeons haha

8 months post
Update 7 months later

So, I wrote my review just a week after surgery, so here we are 7 months later.
I'm still absolutely in love with the work Dr. Deleon did; I'm having some issue with excessive tissue growth around the clitoris, but both she and my PCP said this isn't uncommon, and it's being treated with silver nitrate.
I still don't have any sensation except pain with intercourse, but I was warned VERY early on that it'll take 12-18 months for that to return, so I'm not worried.
My fiance is thrilled with it, and aesthetically speaking, I'm thrilled with it, also, my PCP who has a primarily trans population and has seen quite a few post-surgical results said this is the best outcome she's ever seen (she has no affiliation or relationship with the surgeon), and said that it's probably only going to look even better as I continue to heal.
I would suggest ANYONE go see Brownstein and Crane, and particularly request to have Dr. DeLeon (though, they are all amazing surgeons).

How much did it cost to you in total including other charges and what method was used.
March 16, 2019
I had insurance coverage, so I’m not sure what their cost is, and they use their own method which is a modified version of the standard, but they keep it pretty to themselves.
Thanks for sharing! I'm really happy that you had a good experience with Dr. DeLeon and her staff. How's recovery going for you? Hope you're doing well!
Thanks for your support!!!
