Who it is for

A personal request, heard without judgment

The reasons for a hymenoplasty belong to the patient. Dr Gatri receives every request with the same attention: listening, examination, full information on the procedure, its recovery and its limits. The decision is then made, after a reflection period. Information stays between the patient and Dr Gatri, under medical confidentiality.
