Hi guys, I got 2 docs in NYC who are willing to perform my implant surgery. The 2 docs are, Dr. Eid and Dr. Valenzuela. Dr. Eid's surgery is priced at $26,000 and Dr Valenzuela's is $20,000. I dont have insurance so I'll pay out of pocket. They both have good track records frmo what I've been told a...

I never found such a source. You have to sit down with theses doctors and make your decision based on what they tell you. Its worth it. I found out the hard way. I contacted Dr. Valenzuela's office. I've been there before as a matter of fact. But I went to see another doc there not him. I dont have...

Which doctors are considered good docs who will perform it for less than $20,000? Need a doc in NYC where I live.

When I replace this malleable, I'm gonna have Dr. Robert Valenzuela do it. He's highly touted and as experienced as Eid. Look him up. How can I find out if he or any doc is good at penile implant surgery? Is there a website specifically that rates these docs according to specific area or surgical s...

Hi larry,

Dr. Eid has a $27,000 package which is good I guess since I've heard that surgeries from other docs can run as high as $60,000. But he's not available until end of July which sucks.

When I started this (after I had gotten a lot of information, but before I had seen a surgeon), I dealt with insurance first. After seeing no outright exclusion in my Summary of Benefits document, I called mine up (Care First BC/BS in the Mid-Atlantic region) and asked them if my benefits covered a...

Your urologist's office can probably tell you, and they probably will be willing to call on your behalf if you are denied coverage if they cover breast implants after a mastectomy. (Both are not life-threatening, but both greatly effect a person's life.) Hi David_R, Appreciate the reply. This is so...

What about getting a private insurance long enough to get the implant and then drop it after the implant??

Private insurance? You mean one thats tied to Medicare or not? Could you give me some examples?
