Hi Goose, I had my implant removal and replacement surgery with Dr. Patel and recommend him very very highly. Very knowledgable, detail oriented, and does what he can to optimize YOUR outcome! I think there are a few people on FT that have had surgery or considering surgery with him, haven't seen a...

To be specific, Im in San Diego. I have surgery scheduled in summer, but Im about to switch insurance once Im off my moms plan because I hit 26. Employers insurance sucks and doesnt cover implants. Im deciding to go down the expensive private insurance route and funding it by selling off the little ...

Is there anything I should do to maximize my post op size and prevent size loss? Im 25 and after a nightmarish two years with venous leak, hopefully this is coming to an end soon. Ive decided to get an implant. I heard VEDs maybe? Does brand of implant matter for keeping size? Thank you First thing...

Im quite young at 25. I was forced to see a different uro because my insurance changed.

Hi, Ill probably choose to get an implant soon as a 25 yr old. I dont have a totally dead erection but it’s subpar and getting worse. My erection isnt girthy to begin with. I’m 4.5” midshaft and 4.25” base. Will they be sizing me for midshaft size or will I be limited by the smaller base size? Also,...

I would not go with anyone at Sharp - they don't have any high volume implanters!! At your age, you really need someone with a lot of implant experience to get you the best result, don't gamble.

Insurance companies aren’t always evil. Neither are doctors. Talk to doctor’s financial people first. Level with them. Tell them you’d like to use them, you’ve got an insurance network issue. How much would they bill the insurance carrier to do you. Then talk to the insurance carrier. Try asking th...
