Good morning. This my first time posting. Im scheduled to get an implant in February and the device ive chosen is the AMS 700 LGX. If there are gentlemen here whos had this Implant, could you please offer some feedback and advice
Also I have a concern about the physical who's doing the procedure. I cant find any reviews on him other than 1 which is an office complaint. The name of the physician is Dr Aydin Pooli in North Hollywood California. Ive had a spinal surgery that caused disturbance in my walking and caused this ED to begin with so im very leary of doctors who don't have any reviews online to read.

Yafi best option in LA

I agree, dr Yafi at UCI should be an option for you

I looked him up on Health Grades and it does not even list that he does Implants or Complex Penile surgery. Showed 2 low reviews and no good ones. https://www.healthgrades.com/physician/ ... ooli-g3hw4

I looked up Dr. Yafi and HG shows he is very high in both Implants and Complex Penile surgery. 85% and 91% ranking compared with other doctors. So he is a high volume surgeon. He also had very good reviews. https://www.healthgrades.com/physician/ ... yafi-gg3gj If it were me I would try to get Dr. Yafi to do the surgery.

Welcome to the site and good luck going forward with this.

I am very happy with Suart Boyd at USC Keck. He has been doing them for 30 years. He is semi retired but does work 1 day a week. His second on my surgery was Dr Loh-Doyle who also installed a AUS 800 in me at USC Keck. PM me for more details. I will show and tell.

You should *not* just go with the first surgeon you find. Do your research. I'm in Los Angeles and my Dr. is Dr. Eid in New York. Other than that i would use Dr. Clavell in Texas. It's worth it to travel a bit. Texas is not super far and not too expensive to stay in.

Best.

I am terrified of this situation. How can I switch the authorization

Contact Dr Yafi’s office to verify they take your insurance, then have his office deal with the authorization. I would schedule a visit with him instead of simply scheduling an implant. I don’t want you just taking my word for it. You need to like and be comfortable with your doctor

If you go through previous posts you would find other excellent and FT member recommended implant surgeons in Southern California, including ones that I've posted about my surgeon...Jesse Mills at UCLA. Good luck.

With Dr Yafi, Dr Boyd and Dr Mills, all in LA area practicing in excellent state of the art hospitals, I can not imagine going to some guy in North Hollywood. Al 3 hospitals will take care of the paper work for a second opinion. How many implants does he do a year. Boyd and Loh- Doyle do over 250 a year. I have heard nothing but good results from Dr Mills and Dr Yafie.
