About Us
History of Papillon Center
Papillon Gender Wellness Center was created in the fall of 2000, when Dr. McGinn discovered through her transition, just how daunting it was to find a competent, affordable and comprehensive care for her own journey. It began as a web-based resource for contra-hormone therapy and transition information for gender variant individuals, their loved-ones and their health providers. In 2007, the clinic opened in Bucks County, Pennsylvania and aspires to be a center of excellence for the care of transgender individuals and their families.
Papillon Center is comprised of both trans and non-trans professionals and volunteers. Our aim is to deliver diverse, expert services and specialize in just one thing ... transgender care. Providers are specially selected as leaders in their field, who have the right mix of passion, expertise, and real-life understanding of transgender issues. It is a requirement that all providers keep up-to-date with current developments in their particular field as it relates to transgender care.
While avoiding the "gate-keeper" mentality, our team works together to provide a multifaceted approach to all aspects of transition. We realize how expensive and time-consuming transition can be, so our holistic approach has been tailored to provide up-to-date services conveniently safely, and affordably. We also make every effort to reach out to the transgender as well as the non-transgender community to facilitate awareness of the amazing variety of gender identity and expression.
Papillon Gender Wellness Center offers Vaginoplasty, Labiaplsty, FTM top surgeries, Metoidioplasty with or without urethroplasty, Scrotoplasty, FFS, Breast Augmentation, Trachea Shave, Permanent Hair Removal, Voice Therapy, Medical Tattooing and Hormone therapy.

The Papillon Center, although a little hard to locate (take a detailed map printout), provided a very relaxing atmosphere. It was like anyone there could have been a family member you had just never met before. I was there for a consultation and Dr. McGinn was very comfortable talking about very sensitive topics, thereby putting me at ease as well. She was clearly more interested in ascertaining my needs and desires than in making assumptions or in setting her own agenda. And once she learned where I wanted to go, she was very thorough in dealing with all related issues and even provided a written summary for me to take home and review. I appreciated her obvious sense of conscience and her ability to distinguish between what she could accomplish with high competency and what she would not even attempt. But most of all, I value the fact that she really gave me the sense that she would treat me with the same care that she would want if she were on my side of the operating table.
