I, sadly, have to report the passing of Dr. Stanely Biber on January 16, 2006. I'd always wanted Doc Biber to preform MY SRS.
Biber had performed a reported 5,800 SRS operations and was a pioneer in the field, from his clinic in Trinidad, Colorado. He got started with a compassion for TS's, and a hand-drawn map of "what to do."
Biber is said to have delevoped comlications from pneumonia. He was 82.
At 81, Biber retired from practice, he didn't want to quit...BUT...He had to. Because of his age, medical malpractice insurance skyrocketed to over $250,000 a year. The premiums were just too much to bear, so he had to, sadly, give up his TS practice.
Taking Biber's place in Trinidad, was Dr. Marci Bowers, a post-op M2F. She had her surgery in 1998. Dr. Bowers has a natural empathy for her patients.
Dr. Staney Biber will be missed by the Transgender Community. He was, indeed, one of "The Best!"
