Initial Review of Dr. Elizabeth Lax from Oneonta NY

Just got home from surgery a few hours ago with Dr. Elizabeth Lax in Oneonta NY!! it was hard to find much about her beforehand so I figured I'd post my quick review. Obviously I haven't seen the results yet so I'll make a follow-up later with that.

I'm super happy with my choice of doctor though! Dr. Lax was incredibly kind and was very willing to work the way I wanted. When she came in before surgery to mark the guidelines, first thing she did was sit down and ask me what I wanted: scar shape, level of flatness, etc. I've heard of some surgeons being sort of set in their ways with scar shape etc so this was super reassuring! (And even with swelling and a ton of wrapping right now I already look sooo flat! It already feels mildly euphoric!)

Her entire care team was also fantastic, I don't think I got misgendered/deadnamed even once (despite not having any of that legally changed yet) and everyone was sooo kind and gentle, and took extra care to walk me through every step as I'd never had any kind of surgery before. I don't typically do great in medical settings and have a lot of anxiety, but I generally felt super comfortable with everything being done... at least as much as I possibly could have been

For anyone in the upstate NY area I would absolutely recommend Dr. Lax, 10/10 treatment (pending seeing the results).
