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 and read. Which of these 2 docs do you recommend?
And is there a website where I can see these doc's ratings?

Eid if you go to NY and Kramer in Baltimore, never read anything about the other you mentioned. Good luck

Not as expensive as having to pay twice. I’m sure Eid will get it right the first time.

GO WITH DR. EID since he is more experienced.
The fact is that you are in new york area, so go with the best.

He did a great job and he is usually fixing and reconstructing other bothched jobs by other doctors.

But $26,000??
Did you have to pay out of pocket or by insurance?
I'm thinking of asking him if he would lower his price given my circumstances. Its a bit embarrassing on my part since its charity. But I'm hoping he would lower his fee a bit.
Have you of anyone here asked Eid to lower his bill a bit?

I can't afford Eid. Valenzuela is second to Eid, extremely skilled, knowledgable, does hundreds of these surgeries a year and accepts insurance.

Unfortunately Valenzuela doesnt accept my insurance but he said he would work with me on the bill somewhat. Mount Sinai hospital highly recommends him. But I still am not sure to see him or Eid. Very unsure now.

There’s always options. You could take out a loan, or get another job part time maybe for medical benefits.
