Hi guys I have a telephone consultation with Dr Ralph in the UK tomorrow. Just beginning my implant journey! Both excited and nervous...

Are there specific questions you would advise me to ask him? Would appreciate any advice to get off to a good start! Thanks, Toby.

You have a lot of reading to do.

There are at severalthreads that ask exactly what you have just asked. Sorry, I do not have time to do a "search" for them for you, but if you want to collect a HUGE collection of very good questions and considerations, you should invest the time right now. Start by using the search function for "questions" and you will get close.

Good luck. We're cheering for you.

I took a minute and found these two. There are more, you just have to find them

When I first came to FrankTalk, I read through about three years of old posts. It took me a couple weekends but well worth the time. There are many men who posted long ago and whose advice is still good but they are not on the site. There is information in older posts you may not get from current members.

OR, Just hang in there. I'm sure many will come to your aid, and some how have had it recently performed.

One side note: I thought that in the UK, physicians carried the title "Dr." but surgeons had the title, "Mr." as in "Mr. Ralph". For anyone curious about this little distinction, I was curious and found the answer several months ago on Google.

You can search for Larry10625... he interviewed 4 of the very best implant doctors (Kramer, Eid, Perito and Brock) for an hour each and got some great advice. Good luck.

I don't think the OP has the time to wait. He stated "tomorrow".

Interviewed 4 for an hour each??? Pretty sure they were asking WTF??? Seriously doubt it, but this is me and my experience.
Just be sure to get feedback from him on how he is with his bedside manner.
You will need lots of patience after surgery. just come on here in FT and you can read.

Good luck...actually, you would have spoken to him today. Well, what did you find out? Inquiring minds want to know!

So, what questions did you choose and what were the answers?
