Transforming Lives One Procedure at a Time

GraceMed x McClean Clinic believes gender-affirming surgery doesn’t simply alter the physical features of an individual—it’s more than just skin-deep. The results are also felt psychologically and have the power to transform our patients’ lives.

This belief is what motivates us to do what we do.

Meet Our Founder (Retired)
Dr. Hugh McLean

Dr. Hugh McLean first began performing gender-affirming procedures over 25 years ago. Through his allyship and work with the LGBTQAI+ community, Dr. McLean understands the life-changing and transformative power of top surgery and body contouring procedures. That is why his practice is guided by two very simple commitments: to provide optimal surgical outcomes and the highest quality of patient care possible. It’s clear why Dr. McLean is the “top” choice for double incision and keyhole top surgery.

Dr. McLean has helped hundreds of patients from both Canada and the United States achieve their aesthetic goals and feel at home in their own bodies. In order to help even more folks in the trans community, he has combined his passion for excellence and outstanding surgical skills in founding McLean Clinic. His highly qualified team of healthcare professionals and top surgeons are looking forward to answering any questions you might have about our gender confirming procedures during a free consultation in office or virtually.

With nearly 30 years of experience and hundreds of successful procedures, it’s clear why Dr. McLean’s patients call him the “top” choice for top surgery.
