UPDATE 11/2021 The Urologist (that happens to be in the Boston Scientific list) contacted the Rep and told him my story. The Rep called me and got some information from me, to verify what unit had been implanted. The Rep called me back and said they would cover the replacement of the unit and would ...

He is well respected and one of the top in OKC. He is also recommended by Boston Scientific as "Preferred". I don't believe the Doctor is the issue. The complain is premature failure of the implant! BS should step up and accept responsibility for the failure of their product. I wonder how ...
