Guys,
I am looking for someone in or near New York City who would be willing to talk to guys who are thinking about an implant. Ideally, I would love someone who would show guys their implant. I know guys all over the country do this, but for some reason, can't find anyone in NYC! If you know of anyone, let me know.
I work with a lot of men faced with this decision and they just want to sit down and talk to guys who've done it...and maybe see what it looks like.
Thanks
Paul

I'm not anywhere near NYC, and might not be too keen about showing it off, in any case. But Dr Eid's website has plenty of pics as well as videos of guys with implants. He also has a computer with vastly more pictures and videos, which he is willing to show to patients who visit him. If you wanted more in the way of pics and videos than you can get from his website, you could ask him if he'd make more available. He also maintains a list of over 400 patients with names and phone numbers of guys with implants who are willing to talk, scattered all around the country. He doesn't make the list generally available, I don't think. At least for me, I only got it during an appointment with him. But obviously he has great knowledge of patients who are at least willing to talk.

I know Dr. Eid and he is a really good surgeon. And I even have his list of men. But all of that is proprietary information. I may not use it and He will not share it. And, from a business perspective, that makes sense. Remember, he is in a business. His goal is to make money. While his business helps men, and he is a good guy, he is not in the business of giving away information to help mankind. Pictures and videos help, but it's not the same as talking in real life to a man who has an implant. I deal with a lot of men daily whose fears would be greatly assuaged by this.

Dr. Eid's list of his past patients is a long one and if you try and contact anyone on the list, you get a no longer listing. It was very difficult to get anyone on the 5 or 6 pages of the list. I did catch some of the former patients on the list and most had forgotten the details of the surgeries.

The other thing I want to add is that Dr. Eid does so many of these but he hasn't gone through what we have gone through. I had a problem after the surgery and he was there for me but he didn't "know how I felt". I think that he is very caring and understanding and he tries to put it all out there in front like RIM stated. Some individuals want to know more and some really want to get it over. We are here to try to help others. I live in NYC and am "open" to others about my implant. I think that Dr. Eid has helped me there and is very open regarding implants as are his staff.

I did have a lot of questions for Dr Eid and he was most helpful. He is an awesome surgeon and personable to the enth degree perhaps like other surgeons. But talking to someone, who has gone through having an implant, is a positive when it is one on one.

Hey paul, I am in ct if that's helps at all??
I know the battle and wouldn't mind helping others, as when I went through it I. Felt like I was the only one.
Best wishes Rich

Thanks you Rich for stepping up. I know Paul will be glad that you did.

I am a very recent patient of Dr Eid and I live about 80 miles east of NYC on Long Island. But to be honest, it will be a while before I feel comfortable showing it to anyone other than my wife. Sorry I can't help at this point, perhaps down the road a bit.
