When Dr. Satterwhite first began working with transgender patients, he had no idea of the profound impact it would have on his life and work. Through meeting the strong, courageous members of the transgender and gender-diverse community, he came to have a deep appreciation for the fact that human beings cannot be compartmentalized or placed within a box. Each individual is wholly unique and has an expression in this world like no one else. Guided by this understanding, Dr. Satterwhite is able to collaborate with each patient to determine what is innate to each individual, helping them to achieve a more authentic existence that is true to their self-image. For his compassion, attentiveness, and genuine respect for trans/gender-diverse rights, he is considered by any patient who has had the chance to work with him to be among the best board-certified, gender-affirming surgeons serving the Bay Area.
