Dr. John Pang changed his life overnight by deciding to pursue medical school instead of veterinary school. He now combines his passion for art and practices gender-affirming care as a plastic surgeon. Dr. Pang works with his patients to ensure they experience an improvement in their quality of life with the knowledge of the intricacies wrapped in the gendering of facial features and body contouring. Though mainstream biases and archaic insurance systems have stunted research in transgender medicine and care, Dr. Pang pushes back against such attitudes and embraces a sense of community and belonging in his work with medical students and more. Dr. John Pang is a plastic surgeon and the Research Group Lead for the Center for Transgender Medicine and Surgery at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai.
