Ready for Implant - Florida Surgeon Recommendations
Posted: Sun Oct 22, 2017 2:21 pm
Hello FrankTalk! I just discovered this site recently and I'm so grateful that this community exists.
I have always felt alone with my lifelong ED and have suffered alone for far too long.
It's such a relief to know that there are others out there just like me and some that have already blazed the trail.
The few urologist I have been to have done nothing but make me feel more inadequate and helpless.
In 2001 at 19 years of age I had a Penile Doppler Ultrasound test performed after having no success with pills and the pump. The diagnosis was venous leakage.
I have put off getting an implant these past 16 years due to ignorance; not knowing of others satisfaction with the implant and being scared out of it by urologists.
After reading so many success stories here on FrankTalk and other places on the web, I am now ready to finally get the surgery myself. I feel getting an implant is my best and only viable option.
Unfortunately I do not have the funds to to pay for the procedure myself and choose any surgeon.
Right now I have Molina Marketplace 100 silver in the state of Florida.
My first choice was Dr. Perito in Miami simply because he has done the procedure so many times and is passionate about his work. Unfortunately Dr. Perito does not accept my insurance so I will need to find an alternative.
So right now my criteria for finding a surgeon is: Practices in Florida, accepts Molina insurance, and is experienced, practiced, and confident in the procedure.
I would be ever grateful if anyone who had the procedure done in Florida could share some recommended Surgeons that either they themselves or someone they know had a positive experience with.
Another possible option would be to change insurance providers during open enrollment and have new coverage for 2018. I do believe marketplace plans are required to cover pre-existing coverage, correct me if I'm wrong.
Thank you all for helping me through this. I cannot wait to put this part of my life behind me and to finally move on and start living life as intended.
