BOISE, Idaho (The Blaze/AP) – Police arrested a woman in Idaho’s capital city after they say she impersonated a plastic surgeon and conducted breast exams on at least two women in local bars. But “she” used to be a “he.”

Kristina B. Ross was arrested Tuesday and jailed on accusations of unlicensed practice of medicine.

It all started earlier this month, when Boise police were called to a downtown medical office by employees of a licensed plastic surgeon.

Police say the office was getting calls from prospective patients who wanted to see a Dr. Berlyn Aussieahshowna. But no doctor by that name worked at the office.

Police got contact information for the women who had called, interviewed them – and then identified the 37-year-old Ross, who isn’t licensed to practice medicine.

Ross, however, hasn’t always been a woman. According to KVAL, Boise Police detectives say “Christinia” used to be “Chris” but had reconstructive surgery.

According to prosecutors, Christina would convince women she was a plastic surgeon, get women to disrobe, feel their breasts, and then gave diagnoses.

“Christina” is being charged with two felony counts for the unlicensed practice of medicine.
