• A year ago, on this date, I was in Montreal to finally make my body and mind one. The past year of recovery has had its challenges but I can definitely say, without a doubt, that it was the best decision for me. There are no words that can adequately describe how happy I am with the results! My favorite part of the day is feeling... complete and knowing that abnormal part of my body is no longer there. I’m so thankful for all of the support and help I have received through this past year! I felt like I waited so long for this surgery and timed passed by so slowly. Now, time is flying by. Happy vaginaversary to me!!! Thank you so much Clinique Dr Pierre Brassard & Dre Maud Bélanger

  • I was fairly nervous going in but it was a very positive experience in the end. I had my surgery with Dr. Belanger and I am sure some others to assist with the surgery. The after portion of my visit was very nice, clean and well run in my opinion. The food was interesting as a vegetarian at the time. The home you stay at to heal was like being at home with family. It was a very nice, quiet, calm atmosphere if I'd say so myself. I could not be any happier with my surgery, it was a very big and amazing change I had in my life and I look forward to my next visit for bottom surgery.

  • Had my surgery August 20th. Could not have asked for a better experience. Dr. Brassard and his staff are simply the best. They took care of me and answered any and all concerns I may have had. My surgery went smoothly and have to say the results are better than I could have imagined. I can now look forward to living my life with a proper representation of my physical self. The nursing staff as well as all the other support staff in the hospital as well as Asclépiade were very caring. I have nothing but high praise for every single one of them. Thank you Dr. Brassard for making this woman more complete. I wish you and all your staff the very best.

  • I had SRS in October of 2016, and had a wonderful experience. Everyone from the surgical team right down to catering, and housekeeping were absolutely awesome. The folks there are not only very experienced meaning world class,but they are also very compassionate. Any concerns I had while I was there were addressed. The food was awesome! To be very honest with who ever reads this,I didn't want to leave because of feeling safe,and secure. If one decides to have a procedure preformed here,be rest assured you will be in the best of care.

  • I had SRS back in July 2016 and I found the nurses and doctors to be wonderful. They did take my care seriously and was there when ever I needed someone. Oh I cant forget the cook at the recovery center.. She is so fabulous and amazing and she is a wonderful cook. Whether you are vegetarian, or have an allergy, she will make a few meals to help everyone out. The aftercare was awesome.

  • I received my gender affirmative surgery on March 27th 2019 at CMC followed by a convalescence at l’Asclépiade. Dr. Brassard, the nurses, care aides and all other staff provided me with excellent and compassionate care. The premises were well organized and the food was amazing. A big big thank you to all of you working at CMC and l’Asclepiade for making this chapter of my life such a beautiful experience. You will always hold a special place in my heart.

  • I had surgery a year ago and all I have to say are positive things. I went into this feeling nervous also worried about my accommodations and my stay since I had to travel to get there but they really take care of you, everything is set up for you so you don't have to stress about anything. Everyone was kind and professional which really calmed my nerves, the whole process leading to surgery was really smooth. Dr. Eric Bensimon and the whole team have really changed my quality of life for the better. I'm really thankful for the whole experience and for taking care of me while I was there.

  • Dr. Brassard performed my Vaginoplasty in October of 2000, my results were incredible with the ability to achieve orgasm and for the results to be so perfect that a number of Gynecologists are amazed at the results even 19 years later. His caring manner and positive attitude made the entire procedure incredibly positive. I can never thank him enough for how his skill and dedication made my life complete. (He is also very easy on the eyes! grins) Thanks Dr. Brassard!

  • After seventeen years since my surgery at the clinic which was performed in 2000, I have lived happily as a woman with my ex wife as my partner. I would like to say that the experience even that long ago was the best treatment that I could receive and after a further period of transformation, I successfully had a good career in IT industry and was well respected by my peers in that profession. I have grateful thanks to Dr Pierre Brassard and his team in making my life a truly wonderful experience and cannot thank him enough!

  • A huge shout out to all the staff and Dr. Bensimon on my top surgery. I couldn't be happier with the outcome. It has only been a week since the surgery but all is healing so well and it looks great. Was a little scared to see my nipples but no bruising at all on them and the other incisions are healing quite well. I will definitely be telling everyone I know to go there for there surgery as well as my family Doctor. Thank you, Thank you, Thank you.

  • Hello to the team at GRS Montreal, I just wanted to write to thank you with tremendous amount of gratitude for what you did for me a year ago. I have meant to write on many occasions. Thank you so much for your care of me during my stay, for the service you offer myself and many others, thank you for making my life better. Helping my body align with my mind gave me back the feelings of a purposeful life. What you do saves and makes lives better. Thank you to Dr. Bensimon for what he did for my chest. It is now one of my favourite features on my body, where it previously caused me tremendous pain, shame, disgust and dysphoria. It looks amazing! I always reflect on the experience, never forgotten. Thank you, thank you, thank you.

  • I had Vaginoplasty last year. I'm fully recovered now and I feel amazing. I'm pleased with how it looks and feels. I'm considering a followup for aesthetics but at this point it is unnecessary and would only be superficial. You cannot imagine how it feels to feel 'correct' after a lifetime of disconnect. I'm very thankful to Dr. Brassard for what he did, the team of amazing nurses, the people in the kitchen making food during recovery, and the people in the office working to make sure we were helped. The whole process was made painless with an excellent recovery team. Thank you!

  • Dear Dr. Brassard, it was exactly 11 years ago today you performed GRS on me. What is significant about this anniversary, versus previous ones, is that is the first anniversary the corresponds to the same timing of Holy Week as it was 11 years ago. I arrived in Montreal on Palm Sunday, had surgery on Tuesday, and spent the the weekend in you recovery manor next door. Hence, I spent Good Friday and Easter Sunday recovering from surgery. The symbolism of the week was a most appropriate corollary, I was starting life anew. Back then, I was still self-employed as a graphic designer. What I did not foresee or anticipate was that in less than two years, I would be unemployed. My clients slowly drifted away from me and I was not able to find new ones. I then spent the next year sending out resumes and applying for positions below my level of expertise without success. In 2013 I went back to school and completed an MA in Public and Pastoral Leadership so I could then train in as a Multi-faith Spiritual Care Practitioner with Vancouver Coastal Health. I completed my clinical training exactly three years ago and was soon hired by the health authority, becoming the first openly trans person to be hired as a Spiritual Care Practitioner. I work at a complex care facility with 114 beds, many of the residents are on ventilators and feeding tubes and require total care. More than half are quadriplegics, many have acquired brain injuries; some have been here for over three decades because they cannot be properly cared for in a standard long-term care facility. They range in age from 18 and upwards. Thanks to my training and working within health care, I have been able to educate and train medical staff on how to care for trans persons with respect and dignity, though this work has been put on hold due to the pandemic. All this to say that my life today does not resemble anything to what it did when I met you, but I have never been more fulfilled and happy with who I have become; and I thank you and your amazing caring staff who helped birth this new me. Happy Easter!
