Dr. Eid's staff has confirmed that any revision/replacement surgery will be done free of charge (up to 10 years). That is right, no surgical fee in the event that your implant needs replacing. Do any other surgeons offer such a guarantee?

I believe this is a great selling point for self-pay patients, especially considering the fact that a significant number of implants stop working after just a few years. And even better in light of the fact that the replacement device itself is often provided for free.

This is news to me. I've never heard of another uro offering the same.

Nor have I. Of course, most folks considering an implant probably won't give such a guarantee a second thought, believing that their implant will not need replacing. But self-pay folks like me, whose implant stopped working after just a few years, will appreciate the guarantee. Too bad I didn't use him first time...

I wonder if he requires a certain brand or model for that guarantee?
