Using other than a world renowned surgeon

We will never agree on this issue. As Merrix agreed, there are good implant surgeons who are not among the high volume docs. That is all I have been trying to say on behalf of all of us guys who found great doctors and got great results. If you choose well a surgeon who is not one of the top three can also have great statistics. For me it was all about doing my homework to know I was making a smart choice. I did and it paid off.

Agreed. It's a tough one deciding. Funny I am actually scheduled for a different surgery for free on the NHS here, its unrelated to ED, and the surgeon couldn't answer one of my questions at the consultation. He goes: "Look this isn't my main area expertise. I am an experienced surgeon, but have different areas of interest".

For this, I couldn't care less that this isn't his main area! I am confident he is experienced and will do a good enough job.

But with the implant I just can't leave anything to chance. Success in this procedure is not a simple binary success or failure, but rather a scale of say Shit, to OK, through to Good and Excellent, so I know, even if the outcome is good, I will torment myself wondering if it could have been better!

I decided to go with Eid. Looking like it will be early new year.

World renown is apparently only on Franktalk. The Dr I found a USC Keck did over 200 a year. He recently retired. He said and I believe him that USC Keck urology does more than either Eid or Kramer. His second that is taking over his specialty is doing 3-4 a week. I am sure there are other high volume surgeons in the LA, San Diego area and none are mentioned here. I found my surgeon when I was considering Dr Karpman in the San Jose area. He is mentioned here as high volume. He is the one who told me to go to Dr Boyd at USC. as he was the master on the west coast.
