Hi

I am a new comer for this group and had a ED issue caused by diabetics. I have tried diff. ways except for the implant, but no success.
I plan to have an implant this year. I tried to find a good surgeon near San Francisco, but don't know how to find it. My current Dr is Edward Karpman who work at El Camino hospital, CA. He told me the followings, but i cannot verify what he said.

(1) perform 6-10 implants per month and have been performing this operation
since 2001.
(2) From the total number of implant, he claimed that he is first in the west
coast and around 12th in the nation

Thanks

I'd be very interested in who else replies...
I live in SF and had fairly poor luck at finding a doc who does more than one or two implants a month in the city.

I had my implant done by Dr Karpman about 6 weeks ago. Everything went great.
I dont know how many implants he puts in every month but the day I had mine done there were 3 other guys who were getting it done the same day.
I shared a room after surgery with a guy who flew in from Arizona for his implant.
I chose Dr Karpman because he does the minimally invasive technique. My surgery was only 20 minutes long and I had very little pain after surgery.
I saw his website that has a video of his technique along with a video of inflating the implant that I really liked.
Here is the link if anyone is interested : http://www.healthy-male.com
I also liked the fact that he allows his patients to start inflating and having sex much sooner than all other doctors I went.
I talked to 2 of his former patients priro to scheduling surgery and they had the same results as me.
I started inflating my implant 1 week after surgery and started having sex 3 weeks after surgery. All of the other doctors told me that I had to wait 6-8 weeks after the surgery just to start inflating it.

Hope this helps....

Thanks for the info Jon, it sure does for me!
Which implant did you get?

Insurance gave me a big fat NO out of network docs if you want anything covered.
Will have to regroup and see if my primary doc will help fight them... feh
