A Note from Dr. Rosett

This work is personal to me.

As a member of the LGBTQ+ community I have a deep personal understanding of what it means to navigate a world that doesn't always reflect who you are. When a patient comes to me for gender-affirming surgery, I don't just see a procedure — I see someone taking a courageous step toward living more fully as themselves.

I live in Chicago with my partner and our dog Hudson, who you may actually meet if you visit the office — he comes in frequently as an emotional support animal and has a way of making everyone feel at home. We believe that a surgical practice should feel like a safe space, and that starts from the moment you walk through the door.

My approach to gender-affirming surgery is the same as my approach to every procedure: listen carefully, plan thoughtfully, and execute with precision. Your goals matter. Your comfort matters. And your results should reflect exactly who you are.
