Which One for Implant Surgery? Dr. Eid or Dr. Valenzuela?

Postby alterr » Thu Jun 28, 2018 2:34 pm

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
Implanted March 2nd by Dr. Kramer with AMS/LGX. Had a problem lower left (scar tissue) and he placed a larger (thicker) implant as you can here on the YouTube video. Got all back, ED over 10 years before Implant.

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.

Rod

He did a great job and he is usually fixing and reconstructing other bothched jobs by other doctors.
Titan implanted by Dr Eid Due to Peyronies, Implant was the only option for me.

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.
Age 47. ED for over 20 years. Diagnosed with Hypogonadism. Pills and trimix do not work consistently. Implanted with 24cm AMS CX 12/12/17. Infected implant removed and replaced with AMS Spectra 2/18/18. Implanted with 26CM Titan 10/02/18. So far so good.

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.
