The Bay Area-based gender-affirming care provider Align Surgical Associates (Align Surgical) announces the opening of its new office in Santa Monica, with surgeons specializing in gender-affirming facial, top and genital surgical procedures. Align Surgical is one of the few multi-disciplinary surgical practices in California that exclusively provides gender-affirming services.
Align Surgical’s Los Angeles practice will serve patients from across Southern California and beyond. The office and surgical center, located at 1317 Fifth Street, #303, Santa Monica, CA, 90401, are easily accessible by car or public transportation.
The surgeons at the Los Angeles office location include:
Michael H. Safir, MD. Dr. Safir is a dual fellowship-trained board-certified reconstructive urologist with subspecialty certification in female pelvic medicine and reconstructive surgery.

“At a time when so many places in the United States are heading in the wrong direction regarding access to gender-affirming healthcare, we are pleased to bring our dedicated gender-affirming practice to Southern Californians,” says Dr. Safir. “I’m both honored and deeply committed to serving the transgender and gender-diverse community in Los Angeles, helping patients become their most authentic selves.”
Paul Mittermiller, MD. Dr. Mittermiller is a craniofacial surgeon, specializing in facial gender-affirming surgical procedures.

“At Align Surgical, our patients are our number one priority. No two people have the same wishes for their body, and everybody deserves to receive safe, personalized and compassionate care.
