Good morning Myrna,
Many thanks for you interest in what we do.
Our fees are 250 for consultation which should be initiated over the phone and also includes your first visit at the office, 2500 for orchiectomy which includes local anesthesia and IV sedation, and my post-operative care and daily visits at the Baltic Hotel.
We recommend you stay there for 2 days afterwards before returning to Virginia. If you leave with your compression dressing on, you will be quite comfortable. Typically after orchiectomy, you can reduce your estrogens by 1/3rd
and discontinue spironolactone if you are taking that medication now.
Two letters of therapy clearance are required (one written by a therapist with a doctoral degree) as this is irreversible surgery. You may also wish to consider sperm banking (just a thought).
We can help with the therapy letters if needed.
Have a pleasant and productive day,
Harold M. Reed, M.D.
