Dr. Kramer

[fucked0ne]

I plan to visit him too. Based on posts I've seen here, he appears to have dismissed some legit post-op issues in certain cases. Also, from what I've observed (including on YouTube), he seems to frequently recommend the AMS 700 LGX model to many patients or the Rigicon Rigi10 malleable for those with infected implants, and not favor Coloplast as much as before. Why might that be?
Any thoughts on that?

He straight up told me he’d give me whatever implant I wanted, BostonScientific or Coloplast. It was my dumbass decision to go for the LGX. That said, I do think the LGX is his go to when there’s no patient preference, probably because many guys have been suffering with ED for years and the LGX is a length expander.

Ask him why he doesn’t use Coloplast.

He told me

1) he prefers the impregnated anti biotics with the AMS. Less post op infections
2) the AMS looks and feels more natural. No folds/ dog ears

That wasn’t my experience. He said he prefers the AMS products, and the decision between the CX and LGX is driven by the needs of the patients anatomy. He said the length advantages on the LGX are a little overstated in the marketing materials.

Sure, but my take away from that isn’t that he wouldn’t give you a Coloplast if you wanted one. Yes, he said to me as well that he prefers BostonScientific products, but that he would give me a Titan as well if I wanted one.

I had Dr. Kramer and found him to be a class act. He did a fantastic job; I recommend.

I understand there was some controversy a while back regarding fake accounts he, or someone under him, had set up to promote his services. Some saw this as unscrupulous, but I don’t see what that has to do with his skill as a surgeon.

You will also find other complaints, patients not happy with him for one thing or another. But if you search any of the big names here—Eid, Perito, Clavell, maybe Hakky—you will find negative feedback. That’s a risk you always take, but if I were ever one of the unlucky ones, I know that I would be pissed too. However, these doctors are only human.

Couldn't agree more. He's done over 10,000 implants, for God's sake. It's like criticizing Tiger Woods solely for his personal affairs.

10,000 implants is BS. Assuming he has been in practice for 20 years, that's saying that he has done 500 every year since he started practicing, which is very difficult to believe. I think the only one that has reached that number might be Perito. Be careful with these fake numbers.

Kramer does have a tendency to embellish things a bit but it still doesn't negate the fact that he is a good doctor with 99% of his implantees being very happy with the results.

He's not a personable type like Clavell or Hakky for sure though. It seems like he's more like Levine in Chicago. He also seem to be the only surgeon in the US with some experience in implanting Rigicon Infla10s if that's a consideration.

He's also very time conscious ime. So if you come to him with the list of the 20 questions (like I did) I strongly recommend you figuring most of them out yourself with the help of the members here before coming to see him. Also, the less direct interaction you have him before your surgery the better imo. You're not there to marry him and Kramer is not your shrink. He's you dick doctor. That's it.

I also didn't hear any complaints about post-op experiences with him too. Actually it would be interesting to hear more about that imo. Is he easily reachable if need be, helpful, quickly available if there is a need, can one get him on the horn if necessary, or is it a text only, if that? This type of thing. Do you get his direct phone number post-op or not?

Just my 2 cents.
