Just curious if anyone from Canada, specifically from Ontario, but would love to hear from anyone in the great north on their experience with gettin an implant or about to get one in the near future. Where did you have it done? Who was the doctor? If it was done in the USA what was your experience like and was any of the cost covered? Your comments are appreciated. So far I have an appointment with Dr G. Brock in London, Ontario but not sure he does the procedure anymore... he may be letting his students do it while he over sees everything. Not sure how I feel about that. I know Larry had his done by Brock but his was a complicated case. Curious what other Canadians have experienced on their journey in terms of doc selection, outcome etc. I love reading all stories here on FT but most are in the US.

Thanks guys!

I'm from Kingston Ontario. I was referred to Dr. Brock, he informed me, that since I was not in his LINS area he could not perform it. I was then referred to Dr. Oake at Ottawa Civic hospital. Dr. Oake performed the surgery with out complications October 10th 2018. I feel he placed cylinders that were too small. I lost an inch from Trimix size pre-Op. He did say that I would have more girth, but that has not occurred. My wife has said that my penis is much smaller in both dimensions. He never seemed to be interested in maximizing the result. I have never had any pain or stretchy feeling pumping to max. I had considered going to Dr. Eid but costs were high. Approximately $US 25,000.

It works well and stays hard for as long as I want and my wife comes many times a session, that is the best part of this situation

Hi! I am from Canada too. You can reach me via PM. We should talk.

Thanks for the reply FreddyFree... I’m glad you are able to use it and everything works but disappointed that the doc didn’t size you properly and that is my fear here. I’m hearing Dr Brock might be overseeeing others doing it that will eventually take over for his practice and that scares me. I was hoping to hear from other Canadians that have had a good experience here or even elsewhere.

Hi, Vancouver BC here, getting implanted in the new year

I interviewed Dr Eid, Dr Kramer, (via email) two local urologic surgeons who do implants and one in Seattle before electing to be operated on by a new man in my local area with experience doing implants. I took 14 months to get done with my "due diligence". I am not unhappy I did this. No guarantee that the first guy I interviewed would not have done an excellent job, but I was cautious and thorough. Dr Eid, though he was willing to have me as a patient despite me being 3,000 miles away, advised me "Find a surgeon in love with his craft." He went on to say, such a surgeon will put the welfare of his patient above all other considerations.

It is hard to interview and reject a surgeon based on so little information that patients have when first approaching a surgeon. But his lack of interest in the outcome would ring alarm bells in my mind. I infer from your sentence that he would not have welcomed you into the medical care team and decision-making. Another alarm (for me, because I am a particularly participatory patient).
