The most important question

Another medical study showing the importance of an experienced implant surgeon: https://www.garber-online.com/pdf/Highe ... ctions.pdf

Excellent article for anyone to consider choosing a surgeon. Why would anyone want to more than double their chance of infection by using the local guy that only does surgery once in a while when there are doctors that specialize in implants.Thanks for sharing it only makes me feel better to know I'm booked with Dr. Eid for next Friday.

I agree, by far the most important question which is empirically supported.

Ultimately it all comes down to money. Who will my insurance pay for. How much out of pocket. I could not afford my first or second choices. Settled for number three. It has been hard but I think I'll be ok. I know others are in the same boat. I can dream of a yacht, but unless I buy a bass boat that's all I'll ever do, dream. At some point you have to settle for less and just do it.
I really appreciate Larry's helping me through the hardest parts. This is very scary stuff only have one penis. Larry has always been very positive, we need that I needed that and am grateful to him

We will not ever get into doctor reviews on this site. It's outside the mission statement. It doesn't take much imagination to imagine the fights that would erupt. Also I do not want any guy saying I chose my doctor based on what I read on Frank talk. Each man is an adult who can do research and form his own opinion of what aspect of a surgeon is most important to him.
And Larry has nothing to do with this. This is my decision and the decision of the board of directors of the foundation that runs this site. Please don't attack Larry for a decision that is not his. We have had a problem with doctors planting members who advertised for them. That is why we have a low tolerance level for men who seem to be advertising for a doctor more than simply saying "I really like my doctor because of these reasons, and here's why they were important to me."
The mission of franktalk is to support men who have erectile dysfunction. The ultimate goal is to have men share their experiences so that other men can learn from them, understand they are not alone, and give them some guidance as to what they can do.
Thanks

Well do you know what is funny?
That your moderator constantly praises his doc and his brand of implant. But he is very quick on damning anybody else praising a famous high volume doc.
Of course, when Larry’s best buddy praises his RTE-stacking never-heard-of doc, that’s ok too.
His continuous ignorance of the importance of choosing a high volume doctor is in fact completely ignoring scientific research results. But despite the extreme controversy of such statements they are allowed, even though they might lead to people failing to realize the importance of doctor’s experience and hence get worse results than they could.

Your rules, annoying and weird as they are, could maybe be accepted if they were consistent and clear. But they are rather subjective and not for all.

You're welcome my friend... it is my pleasure.

I'm pretty sure that if you are pleased and say why or displeased that is what FT is all about. My surgeons were both excellent none better. But some of their methods are quirky at best and dangerous at worst. If you don't mind a horizontal 3 1/2 inch scar across the base of your penis, an almost 100% chance of uneven tips and a one hand permanent pump placement that sticks up inside of your scrotum singing YMCA 24/7 then go with my guys. One dilates the left side while the other dilates the right and one hand does not know what the other is doing so uneven tips guaranteed.
I have watched videos of both Eid and Kramer shows exactly how and what they do everything is correct and up to date. They were my first 2 choices but could not afford either one so,,,,,, YMCA here I come.
I'm not sure who crossed what line but for sure I'm only giving my opinion of a job well done or not well done and I think others have done the same including Larry. If we cannot do that then what's the point? Right now I cannot find anyone willing to touch another surgeon's work. If someone had warned me before hand I would not have had the problem to begin with. Dr Kata would have done it right for me and not a generic cookie cutter surgery and oh you didn't tell me you were left handed. Boody Hell! as if I could read the guys mind and know he would use such an obscure rare method. He is the one who should have gone over the odd procedure with me step by step.

Type in the doctors names you come across and see what the many guys here have posted. There is also a site on FaceBook that you can join and seek info as they don't screen out doctors names. They assume we are grown up enough to not believe everything written and search for the truth. My doctor was there for before during and after as I will now utilize for another procedure I may need. Have an enlarge prostate that he can help with.

You can and should speak with doctors you are considering and have your questions ready. Research and then do more. My first inflate is here and it has only gotten better.
Good luck

I just had a follow up appointment with my regular urologist. He is the guy that I have gone to for the last ten years he has a great reputation does open prostate surgery in fact he did the surgery on my primary Dr. When I had him do the biopsy last year he found the cancer. I discussed the options with him and he told me that surgery was the way to go I asked if he did robotic his answer was no but they both end with the same result. He said that the recovery time from robotic was quicker and less painful and said he was fine with me choosing another surgeon. When I did he did the follow up and started me on injections worked with me on the phone on several calls to try to get the trimix to work. Without success tried Bimix to eliminate the issue with pain. told me he did implants but not a lot 5-10 per year used only AMS.
I told him that I was scheduled to get implanted next Friday by Dr.Eid. His response was "well he specializes in implants so im sure he will do a great job"I have had good success with AMS its the only brand that i use and if I wanted to speak to the rep he uses he would set it up. He then said if there are any issues just call me ill get on the phone with Dr. Eid and we can work them out. He also said that seeing that its a 4-5 hour drive to see Dr. Eid he would be more than happy to remove the stitches and if there were any issues with the use of the pump he would help.
This is an example of a real Dr. that knows his limitations and even though he does implants with success he said that it is a fact that the more you do of one procedure the better you get at it and the less likely you are to have a problem.
