Eid vs Hakky
Hi all, getting close to my final implant decision and I've narrowed it down to Dr Eid or Dr Hakky. I think Dr Eid is a more renowned doctor, but his costs are about $8k more than Hakky at ~$26k vs $18k. Not sure how long I'd have to stay in NYC for Eid, but I'm sure the cost of living in NYC could also ratchet up that cost difference vs staying in Atlanta for Hakky. Anyone have an opinion if the experience of Eid is worth the extra $8k+? I know they're both great surgeons but since I'm young, I think it may be worth it to shell out for the absolute best first implant. All opinions welcome.
Early 30s with ED for years from penis enlargement stretching and jelqing. Implant by Dr Eid on 24 June 2021 with a Titan 24cm with +1cm RTE on one side and -1cm cut off on the other side

I will be going with Eid. Should have a date very soon. I feel if you in ny there is no other option. Not to say others are not great and fully capable. But after meeting with Eid I feel 100% comfortable with him. I will also be paying out of pocket mine little of 30 not sure why but if it would have cost 100k I would find a way

Re: Eid vs Hakky
Some things to think about is, do both use a drain? A drain is another incision and a possible source of infection. What is activation time for each? Shorter activation has been shown to reduce size loss pre vs post op. I would start local before I travelled. After care is very difficult long distance.
Both are fine doctors with really good reputations and you just need to ask them questions and decide. Good luck in your surgeon search.

Re: Eid vs Hakky
I sometimes think that this board overrates Kramer and Eid. They are for sure top of the class, but it doesn't mean there are not others up right there with them. Hakky is definitely one of them. While I am using Tatem, I have bugged Hakky with some questions about a potential vasectomy reversal in the future after an implant and have been very impressed with his communication and openness to me. I think that Hakky, Clavell, Tatem, Karpmann, Kansas, Blick, Christine all deserve more credit than they get here.

Re: Eid vs Hakky
For those using Medicare, is the cost of an implant covered? Hospital and physician fees? If Eid fee is 8k more than Hakky, how would that work with Medicare?
60 yrs old. Gradually worsening ED for 10 years. Pills and trimix not working well anymore. Will need an implant in the near future.

Medicare + supplement covers the surgery 100%, the only out of pocket costs being travel & lodging.

Just a guess on my part. I don't think the Medicare rate is the same across the country. I'm fairly certain that in a high cost city like NYC the reimbursement is higher.

Re: Eid vs Hakky
I have never used Eid but I have used Dr Hakky just last week. He, his office staff, his surgical team, and the hospital he used are all first class !! I couldn’t ask for better treatment and care from them all. Love Dr Hakky !!! He is very easy to talk with and is very knowledgeable of all aspects of the implant. He’s got one of the lowest infection rates in his patients. He keeps up with all the stats ! I had several issues and some were caused by a previous high volume doctor and Dr Hakky has succeeded in getting everything back to working order. Like I said he snd his team have assisted me four times and now everything is great!!!
Oh I also was cleared for cycling at day 7..
Just my two cents !
