No, it was Dr. Eid in N.Y. It doesn't matter. I don't believe anything this guys says anymore anyway.

Dr. Kramer did my surgery and I was really, really impressed. He is a rare doctor in all ways. Couldn't be any better.

...check w/ Dr. Kramer. He does a lot of revisions. If he takes your insurance, I'd go to Baltimore and have it done by one of the absolute best on the planet.

I have to add that none of these surgeons is perfect. I'm past the two-month point now. Much of my procedure, Dr. Kramer did an excellent job on. I had absolutely no swelling. The cylinders are nice and deep into the glans. But, my pump is too high and to the left and I'm having to get a revision done. I really like and respect Dr. Kramer. He's a fantastic guy with an impressive body of work, but mine isn't quite right.

Thank God. Absolutely none!

Not just is Kramer a great guy but clearly has the best hands in the business. He's seriously slick and as many said, his hands move in a speed and manner that you won't see anywhere else

Absolutely no problems. Dr. Lue is another very gifted surgeon!!

I would have to agree. IMHO, Kramer is the current "gold standard" as far as implants go in terms of surgical technique and patient aftercare. Had minimal pain from Day One...more discomfort from the Foley catheter which had to stay in for 24 hours than the actual operation. On the day of the procedure, maybe took two Percocets, then an occasional Motrin...zero discomfort within 7 days...Had a couple of questions two days ago & e-mailed him...detailed response maybe 20 minutes later. Will return to Baltimore for my activation next month. Up-to-the-minute surgical expertise coupled w/ "Old School" concern for his patients...btw: if you decide to go w/ Kramer, you might want to check out the Hotel Indigo...boutique hotel within a mile or so of the University of Maryland hospital. They have a hospital rate...got a big suite w/ killer TVs. The hospital has a great shuttle service which picked me up & brought me back after the procedure. Didn't know anybody in Baltimore, so I found a medical companion service to wait for me per hospital/anesthesia rules...walked me out to the shuttle...kicked back at the Hotel Indigo until Saturday...great hotel restaurant w/ room service...if anybody has any questions about Kramer/hospital etc, feel free to message me and I'll fill you in...P.S...take Uber to/from BWI...you'll save 50% off standard cab rates...

I used the Lite Rail from BWI to the hotel, the "street car" type train and the cost was $1.70 each but I got the Senior ticket going back to the airport and that was $0.70 per person. Got off at the convention center stop , 1 block from the Days Inn. Also used the Medical Center shuttle. The front desk at Days Inn can inform you about the Lite Rail and will call the shuttle for you. Also Connie at Dr. Kramer's office is a lot of help. They have a good set up in Baltimore , you just need to ask and someone will help you.

Williamb, did you have surgery with Dr. Kramer? I thought Dr. Cornell did your implant.
