Dr. Kramer (?)

[Notgivingup]

I was implanted by Kramer 3 1/2 years ago. Amazing doc. Highly recommend.

Kramer used to be a high-volume and during 2020, when I first joined FT, he was the most mentioned implanter here, thanks to a couple of happy patients who documented their journeys with him. I was going to be implanted by Dr. Kramer, but the procedure was cancelled 2 days before due to insurance rejection.
However, after that some unhappy patients appeared, and going out of the market for more than a year till moving to Cape Cod also had a negative impact on his practice.
I also wonder why he insists on using LGX on most of his patients. No one-size-fits-all. I cannot compare him with doctors like Eid, Hakky, Clavell, and Perito.

Who is the 5th one? You only mentioned 4 of the big 5!

[LastHope]

Who comes up with these top docs and ranking? Is there something like US News top 10 or something?

Agree LastHope, I have researched and cannot find MOST of the doctors that perform this surgery in a website, I mean there are folks naming doctors that are not on the physician finder tab above, if you do a search it will come up with mostou doctors that are listed, Eid, Perrito, carrion and so forth but there are alot of surgeons that perform these, you can go to the mfg website and that is who they have sold them to as well as who have implanted including revisions. They may not do 100 a year or even 50 but they have experience. I am talking with a urologist that has done close to 100 total, he seems genuine and described the procedure, I have looked up as much as I could find about him, but it is hard to find much, and that is on most of them. I look up lawsuits, mal-practice, complaints and reviews, alot of complaints that I have found about him is bedside manner or his staff canceling appts. or not returning calls, and these were a few years ago so hopefully somehting has changed there in the office. All I want is a physician that can perform the work with success and that be the end of it. How else can all the other surgeons become top tier if not given the opportunity, Top Tier is an aging group.

A lot of doctors have the drive to be the best there is. They do this through Colledge and med school. And a drive for personal wealth. They can do it in different ways. One is by publishing studies and developing surgery technics or even surgery tools. And even self-promotion. I was on this site many years go and took time off to get to a point that I could self pay for a very good doctor. My local doctors have poor results. When I came back the site had changed servers and I could not remember my old sign in information and I had to start over with this user name. The first time I was on we had a moderator and he advised me that Kramer had be found to have set up accounts to promote himself. But he had things set up to make things smooth and easy for men to fly in from anywhere for his surgery. But after my surgery I found that those accounts were being used to discredit anyone who had problems from his surgery. A year after my surgery he parted from University of Maryland and went to Chesapeake Urology for a year. He left CU on short notice over his testimony in a rape trial. He left the men scheduled for implants hanging. Then he went on an overseas Rigicon implant tour. There were little gaps of time in between these and a bit longer one after he returned until he finally started up again in Cape Cod. My experience with him is that he is a skilled surgeon. But no one is perfect and his way of dealing with the few bad results that he has had, and there was a number of them, was more of a denial by him and attack of men who had posted the problems on this site. A search of this site will find those years ago. Still with that there are many men who had great results with him.

No one is perfect as I posted, and any doctor can and will have some bad outcomes. Most we can do is to reduce the odds of that happening. So just something to know up front that this is what has happened in the past. I have very little information on him in the time he has been at CC. So I do not know if he has changed at all.

I didn't say there are 5. There are some other good doctors like Karpman and Yafi in CA and Cordon in FL. Many more who have happy patients.

I believe FT is the most reliable source. It is where most implanted men are sharing their experiences and opinions. If we make a pol here on the top 10 implanters, I think there are about 4 or 5 surgeons will always be in the lists. I base my recommendation on what I have read here on FT in the last 4 years. I didn't see negative reviews on Eid, Hakky, Clavell, or Perito, although there plenty of men implanted by these doctors. Many others are implanted by other surgeons with excellent results, but there is still little information about them.
I am implanted by an unknown surgeon at Kaiser. My result is very good. I can't say he is as good as Eid, because I don't know if there are other patients of him who are unhappy.
