Eid vs Kramer

Postby username_taken29 » Thu Aug 13, 2015 8:48 pm

Obviously both seem to be top notch. Aside from price point differentials, any other points to consider when stacking these 2 against each other?

I'm 29 and a younger patient. Admittedly, I did find Kramer a bit more personable on the phone and was very impressed with the fact that he literally called me back the same day. Also seems to be a bit younger than Eid and I guess that means there may be a greater chance he is still in the business when an eventual need for replacement comes up.

Really doesn't seem like one could go wrong with either of these two, but very interested to hear any input out there

Thanks

I can only speak to Dr Kramer and I am very happy I chose him. That said I have heard very good things about Dr Eid. Between the two I would go with your gut and the doc you feel you will relate best to if you have questions or concerns after surgery. I think they both would be good choices along with some of the others that are high volume and mentioned here.

I interviewed both (as well as Perito), and ended up going to Andrew Kramer after feeling he was the best- in terms of personality and skill set. HOwever you're splitting hairs, probably the best 2 guys in the world. both great.

Kramer guy myself here. Think the world of him. Top notch. As others have said, you can't go wrong with either. Go with your gut. Those were the two I narrowed it down to as well, so I was in your shoes.

(and on a completely different note, we have a marlostanfield and a stringerbell who post here. Hysterical. Love it)

To the guys who went with Kramer: how much length did you lose?

I've had a visit with Dr. Milam in Nashville, and he said it's pretty much a given that I"m going to lose length. I don't know what if any measures there are to keep loss to a minimum.

Milam is 1.5 hours from me. Kramer is a four-hour flight (and I hate flying), and one or two nights in a hotel.

I lost nothing at all. On day 42 post op (day 5 of daily cycling) I got to where I was was pre-implant. Didn't lose a millimeter. Girth the same too (hoping for more, implanted 2 months ago today)

I also lost not length, and gained a little girth.

Everyone is different based on years of ED and if previous prostate surgery etc. I did not have prostatectomy and did not lose any length after implant with Dr Kramer. Initially a quarter inch or do shorter now almost 4 months out back to usual length. I also had some curvature from shots he corrected and that curvature usually results in shortening but didn't in me.
