I guess it comes down to what you call "settling". Karpman does around 100 implants a year. Not the highest but it's up there compared to many urologists. You should take in to account that not all surgeons are doing implants only. He appears to do lots of other surgeries, teach some, research papers & so forth. There is a good chance that his time is pretty much all spoken for. Thus 100 per year is towards the upper limit of his time that isn't already taken. FWIW, there is a fair number of members that have his name in their info tag. Also, I have searched & can't find any patients that are unsatisfied. Considering that most of the big names are back East. He stands out as a very viable option for those in the West.

I went to Karpman and IMO he's one of the very best. He seems very interested in helping men maintain size, he does minimally invasive surgery that allows you to start inflating after just one week, and he's caring and concerned. I chose him over Eid and Kramer because he did the kind of surgery I wanted and seemed perfect for all of his choices in doing the surgery.

He's great to talk with on the phone, so call his office and ask for a consultation. Make sure you tell him of your concerns and let him give you his reasons for what he does.

Good luck.

WAIT FOR KRAMER, WILL NEVER HAVE TO WONDER. EID AND KRAMER ARE VIEWED AS TWO THE VERY BEST. I AM THREE YEARS OUT FROM MY IMPLANT AND SELECTED DR. K AFTER REVIEWING ALL FOR OVER 6 MONTHS.

UMMR was not taking my insurance the first couple times I contacted his office either. Eventually they did. I am sure if Dr. Kramer says they are working on it, somebody is. Insurance companies negotiate prices and contract. Doctors do too. Dr. Kramer has a lot of experience in the financial aspect of this. Trust him but just maybe prod his office once in a while? Cheers

WW, hopefully you are still on the FT site. What was your decision and/or outcome? Choice of implant?

Um, no. Overbroad statement. "Needed"? Depends entirely on what you're trying to accomplish!

There are absolutely some things this Titan's 100% max inflated rigidity allows us to do which we could not do otherwise. 3 specific things come to mind immediately...

Not every surgeon is “world class” as this sight repeats greatly. The surgeon who did mine is not a world class implanter. He does do urological reconstruct surgery . Especial for trauma patients. He is the guy that saves your penis from erosion, or from a gun shot wound. Major city hospital and major university teaching facility. I asked him about doing multiple implants and he indicated he does it all. He treats guys with PD, ED and anyone with urological trauma. Like the Crazy that that inject saline or Vaseline into there penis and balls. Or the guy who does a home subscision and causes urological sepsis.

Before I went with him I saw the super stars mentioned on this board. The last one was far from being a star. He told me he only used ams cx. He only does infra pubic. And will not do anything related to Peyronies. So he was out of the running. My point, there a many really good surgeons who are local and know what they are doing. One has to do research, interview and make a decision .
