About this listen

Jess Ting, MD, has learned to thrive without road maps. As a kid, he taught himself to play the upright bass and went on to study at Juilliard. Now he’s blazing trails in transgender medicine and surgery. “It’s a great field because it’s so young,” Dr. Ting says. “There’s lots of room to innovate.” Among Dr. Ting’s innovations—a completely new approach to vaginoplasty, called the Peritoneum Vaginoplasty. In this audio portrait, Dr. Ting talks about how innovation happens and what he’s learned from his transgender patients.

Dr. Ting is Director of Surgery at the Mount Sinai Center for Transgender Medicine and Surgery.
