Implanted today

Hey guys

I had the surgery this morning at Kramer’s new location. Of course Doc Kramer is the same genial man who knows his stuff. He truly has great bedside manner. He talks through his thoughts/decisions with you. Could not be happier with him as my doc. I truly felt I was in great hands who was making decisions based on what is best for me. The staff at the new location was wonderful and professional.

I am home. There is some discomfort but it’s subsiding quickly. I’ll do pain meds regularly and then decide in the morning whether I need them going forward.

I’m happy to share more details and pictures eventually if anyone messages.

Here’s the video Kramer made

...his new digs look state-of-the-art/upscale. Said on his latest video that he can now do up to 15 procedures per week. Glad to hear his UMMC team including anesthesiologist Patrick went with him...due to my sleep apnea condition I had some concerns about anesthesia & Patrick eased my mind considerably when he explained the anesthesia procedure...

I had my surgery on Tuesday Aug 6th, I was the first procedure at the new facility with Dr Kramer. Very prompt and friendly staff made me feel at ease, little discomfort on day 2 and felt better from there on. Now swelling but not bad. I stayed 3 days at holiday inn express and left Thursday.
This was a repair from implant from 2015 and feel confident this time it was done 100% better.

Question, how is his office with handling insurance appeals? My
Insurance covers IPP. However, employer excludes. Aetna said Dr would
Need to send info to support exception. I have severe Peyronies and Ed and
Diabetic. I have failed all Peyronies treatments with a 90 degree bend.
Xiaflex was just painful and did nothing. That cost the Insurance close to
40k. Which is more then implants.

Thanks for any info

Dr Kramer is the artist, but not the bookeeper. His office staff does the insurance paperwork. They will send what they have, but in my case did not reach out for records from previous failed treatments. Insurance would not pay without that proof. You need to get copies of those records and provide them to your insurance company. Best if done in advance.
