3 years post implant problem. Uva medical is awful

Postby kenny24017 » Tue Sep 02, 2025 7:12 pm

I had my ams700 done in April 2022. I had significant P.D. about 50 degrees curve to the right. And E.D. So my dr. At UVA medical center said an implant would help both issues. He said he would do the implant and by modeling it see if I needed a graft or other fix for my curve while he was doing the surgery. After the surgery I was that he didnt address the curve but he said it was less than 20 degrees when he modeled it. Also left some tenting he called it where they sewed up my sack and it pulls on my shaft to the same side. So I haven't used my new toy much since then with marital issues. Now my wife says its hurting her because of the curve the rods are basically poking out from under the head and it pushes off to the right. So I went back and my dr. Says of yes it needs a revision, I said yes its been like this since you did the surgery and It needs correction. So they run my insurance that is different now then back then and says I'll have to pay for it since its not covered now. I completely lose my temper and explain its been this way and you should've addressed the curve during the surgery. They completed a 30 day grievance and said the malfunction is a risk with any surgery and they cant help me. Should I get a lawyer and fight them or am I just screwed? I feel like him admitting it needs a revision should warrant the repair ,which may be simple or ? It's like I have this great toy to use but I cant the way it is. I'm beyond mad and I'm afraid of what Im going to do if they dont help me.
