Sorry, I have not heard of Dr Vick. However I can personally say that Dr Richard Natale in nearby Concord does great work.You should talk with him.

I'm in Lexington and have heard his name but that is about it. I had mine done through the VA system. BADLANI was my surgeon at the Kernersville VA. I'm happy with his implanting the AMS700LGX on September 5th. I was released this past Wednesday for full use. But I've only used it on single layer mode so far.
If you want the best in the state and surrounding area, Dr Terlecki is your man. But plan on a long wait. He was booked out 5 months for me to just sit and talk about getting an implant.
Good luck.

Yes its tough finding a good surgeon. Best that I can recommend is to just ask him about his implanting experience. Bonus points if you can become friendly with a staffer. A female is ok, she knows what is happening there & hears all the staff talking. Don't be shy but skip the cock & dick words & use penis.
My drs nurse is awesome. She told me urology is a small field. They know almost all of the regional fellow urologists. Have you visited a second urologist? Don't be shy to ask for a suggested surgeon.
My primary dr knows quite a few of the local specialists. He was a good source when looking for a pulmonologist & an orthopedic surgeon.
Finally, use the search function here on FT using Vick. Just asking a question on the forum will only get responses from guys that bother to read your post & care enough to reply. The search function is vastly better.

Dr. Ralph N. Vick is my urologist and has performed both my (RARP) prostatectomy and my penile implant. He has been absolutely fantastic! My only wish is that he had more time to spend on fully educating his patients. But no urologist I know of can take on that full responsibility. But he is a great guy, an excellent communicator, and a top-notch surgeon who saved both my life and my sexual function. I would avoid Tapscott (another local urologist) like the plague. But can unhesitatingly recommend Dr. Vick.
