Come see us in person TONIGHT at Unite the Fight🤩

“We are thrilled to share this year’s Unite the Fight Gala keynote speaker, transgender surgery expert, patient advocate. LGBTQIA+ ally, and inspiring human, Curtis Crane, MD.

“After initially meeting some members of the trans community, I was immediately drawn to them. Gender dysphoria challenges the basic pretenses that the medical community assumes to understand about chromosomal influence on gender. It takes a courageous group of individuals to tell the world that XX does not always result in a female and XY male. It is yet another example that the world cannot compartmentalize its citizens.”

We love the way you think, Dr. Crane. ❤️ 🌈 2022 Unite The Fight Gala Presented by Devora Realty The Equality Alliance”

We are so happy for you♥️

"7 weeks post op. Dr Crane you are my angel, and without a doubt the world’s BEST transgender surgeon.  No CIS person can understand the lifelong agony of looking at yourself naked in front of a mirror, dreaming of but never seeing the person you are supposed to be, the one you see when your eyes are closed. Dr Crane, you have fulfilled that dream and I am complete! God bless you and thank you."

Did you know? Crane Center specializes in revision surgeries from outside providers!

This patient came to us from another surgeon outside of Crane Center. They did not like the dimple on the left side of their chest or how lateral their ni***es were. They opted to have their ni***es removed, as they wanted to tattoo on at a later date. Their surgical goal was new incisions with removal of the ni***es and repair of the contour defect on the left side.

Happy healing, Blake♥️

“here are my revision results! the bottom is from the day before surgery and the top is from yesterday night (3 days post-op) everything is still swollen/bruised/bloody but my chest is looking SO much more even and flat!!!! i am so incredibly thankful for everyone at and especially for Dr Crane😭 i can’t wait to see what my chest looks like once it’s healed, i’ll definitely be posting updates along the way! ***r ”

#5! End of a long and productive day! There is almost NOTHING in the scientific literature about the improvements possible with “second stage” metoidioplasty. Here we present our wide experience with this technique and some major improvements we made to the “classic” (read: old) technique.

Santucci out…..

On a roll with #4. This was accepted as a “Tier 1” abstract which means the scientific paper is automatically published in the journal Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery. Many tips and tricks we’ve learned over our 800+ phalloplasty surgeries over the years. Crane Center Curtis Crane, MD Michael Safir, MD Galen Wachtman

We are so happy for you, Ted♥️

“One year ago today I had Radial Forearm Flap Phalloplasty with Dr. Crane and Dr. DeLeon in Austin at The Crane Center. I am so pleased with the results and I have healed so well. I had the best care there. My quality of life is awesome and the only regret I have is not having it done sooner. The Crane Center changed my life for the better and I will forever be grateful for that. Happy One Year post Phalloplasty to me. ”

I discuss SB 29 with CBS Austin. SB 29 is a bill in Texas that targets trans youth in sports. The House meets today to start discussions.

Lauren Rodriguez says her transgender son, Greyston, never got the childhood experienced he deserved. “[His school] wouldn’t let him play on the girls team because he looked like a boy,” said Rodriguez. “He couldn’t play on the boys team because they said, ‘he&rsq...

“Final post op is done and we get to head home! I couldn’t be happier. Richard Santucci MD is happy with how things are healing. Curtis Crane, MD came in and his words were “damn dude, that’s a nice phallus”. Teresa has been such an angel and I appreciate her and the entire staff more than any words could ever express. The man (Crane), the myth (Santucci), and the legend (Teresa)....I’m forever grateful for everything you’ve done for me and my wife. Much love and respect!!!!”
