Can you directly approach a surgeon or must you go through an urologist?

The final frontier. Deciding when, if and how.

Didn't't meet him until two days prior to surgery for my preop appointment (ultrasound, dick stretch etc.). I am three plus years post op. Couldn't be happier !


How long between your "cold call" and surgery? I'm seeing him in 10 days and like to roughly know when he'd probably schedule my surgery.
