EID would be my surgeon. Trust him and I think he s the world best surgeon for installing a ipp.

Unfortunately I must pay out of pocket and the price is crazy... dont know why he s charging so much.
for sure he s the best but 29000 Dollar is really a big bunch of money unfortunately.

As noted in another thread, there are 3 parts to the total cost: Doctor's cost, facility cost, and device cost.
Eid's total out of pocket can vary quite a bit, depending on which facility you get the procedure done. His first choice is MEETH hospital, but it Is also most expensive if you are out of pocket. He can also work at a local surgi-center, which cuts the cost some $5000-$8000.
Different facilities also charge different prices for the implant device itself, depending on where it is sourced.

Like many Dr's, you probably need to do the initial consultation first, before they start to talk about ways to reduce your out of pocket cost. Without being a patient of their's, they probably just quote the rack rate.

@SeaCapt
I have found that device cost is included in facility/hospital cost. I'm seeing a lot of breakdowns like this...

Surgeon cost
Facility fee (includes implant cost)
Anesthesiologist cost

Thanks a lot SeaCapt for the info, that I could get a cheaper price with EID. This would be perfect.
I am from Austria / Europe, so I must do a video consultation first with him. But if he could cut the costs around 20-25thousand dollars I wouldnt let someone else operating me except EID. For me he s a God s gift on earth!
Ive seen that you had Eid for your surgery.

I guess I am right that hes one of the best surgeons worldwide,
would you agree with me and are you satisfied??

I am very happy so far- its been 2 weeks since I was implanted. I was off pain meds by day 3, able to start cycling on day 4, and am at my pre-implant size. Stitches came out yesterday, and there is no scar or evidence of any surgery. I am ready to start using this thing!
Also worth noting that his office is very familiar with men that travel to see him, and arrange things accordingly- even providing a letter, disposable scalpel, steri-strips, etc for removing the stitches, so you don't need to visit him again just for that.

[rocco84]

Thanks a lot for all this information!!! Hope you will enjoy your new (better) life!!!! I wish you all the best... everyone who made this surgery had so much bad time to survive - everyone deserves a better life after that nightmare.

Dr. Christine does live webinars for other physicians once a quarter or so. I watched on of them and you see that he is very precise is his methods. If you google him you see a number of good resources.

-Dr. Karpman
-San Jose, CA
$19,000

Surprising low price considering he's in very high cost of living area... Silicon Valley. An office in Mountain View, which is where Google is, for example.
