[coldbrew]

Hello,

What has been your experience with NC implants drs?
I have seen Ashley Tapscott (Huntersville), and will make an appointment with Aaron Lentz (Duke).
Both seem to have experience with peyronies.

Sorry can't help you there, had surgery in Pittsburgh, dr was not nationally known but still did great job, ask a lot of questions

Doctor at Wake, stay away as not good posting here and I drove to Baltimore from Winston to see Dr. Kramer. Never looked back as it was a great experience. No drains, minor pain after 2nd day and his team and hospital took great care of me.

Photos is after surgery and shows how natural the AMS appears. The drive to Baltimore was worth it for me as I researched for about a year as chicken about surgery. They used gas to knock me out before the IV and after the pain meds worked in seconds. Went to the hotel about 7pm and used ice bags with Motrin only. Had stronger pain meds but didn't need.

Good luck. Find someone close to you and see if they will do a Show and Talk to help you out.

Dr Lentz is Great and has implanted hundreds if not thousands over the years.
He does however only use Titans as he does so many revisions and the majority are AMS failures,he quit using them.

I’m one year post op now and could not be more pleased .Titan 22 cm no RTU and straightened out my peyrones.

I was implanted by Dr. Richard Natale around seven years ago and was extremely happy with his work. Now this old man has worn out his Coloplast and needs a new implant. Did not even think of looking anywhere else, got another date with Dr Natale on the 19th of April. Completely confident of the outcome. Almost forgot, Dr Natale is in Concord, NC.

I will keep Dr. Natale in mind. Keep us updated on your replacement.

I will call to make an appointment with Lentz Monday.

I did email Kramer about implant. Told him I seen Tapscott for ultra sound. He said I would be in good hands, and no need to make trip to see him. Tapscott showed me a video on her phone where she was overseas at a conference. Kramer was one of them in the group of 7 or 8 drs.

I asked her about implant sizing, and was she aggressive. She said conservative. I'm sure she would do the max size.

Will do, not long to wait now. Good luck with your search

Please create a signature. It makes things much easier to answer your questions without asking a lot of questions. Here's how you do it
Click on your name in the top right corner and select "user control panel"

Then under the big letters "User Control Panel" there is a row of words... select "Profile"

Then down the left had side of the "User Control Panel" select "Edit Signature" (You might have Create Signature or something. I don't know exactly what you'll get because I already have a signature to edit)

Most guys put something like what I have, but you can put whatever you want. Here is mine -
51 years old, married 29 years. Implanted Mar 30/17 by Dr. Brock of London, Ont, CANADA. (AMS 700 CX 18 + 2). Had implant removed Apr 29/17 due to Septic Shock. Liposuction By Dr. Gan and re-implant by Dr. Brock (AMS LGX 15 + 2) Dec 14/17.

Don't get too carried away with the doctor like his name, address, phone number, etc (anything that looks like advertising for him).. you can certainly say Dr. Jones (great Dr.)

Can you please be sure to put your city, state/province and country.

If you need further help, please ask, that's what I'm here for.

I find it odd that nobody else has reported this problem, and since the AMS is more popular with surgeons, I wonder if the problem is with the doctor. Or, it also stands to reason that since the AMS is more popular, more will fail. Avoiding the AMS product is NOT in the best interest of the patient. There are times when the Titan is the appropriate choice BUT, there are times when the AMS should be the choice.
