In need of implant not sure who to use

[tmills2971]

I’ve been to the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minnesota. There I had a penile Doppler ultrasound and diagnosed with venous leakage about 3 years ago. Taking high doses of pills and using cock ring. This rarely works anymore. I need to get the implant surgery. Anyone ever use Mayo for implant or Dr. Eid in New York?

I would also lookup current SMSNA President, Dr. Tobias Kohler. He practices at Mayo Clinic, Rochester and a Coloplast Center of Excellence.

I drove from Wisconsin to Houston. The surgery was performed by Dr. Clavell. The results were excellent.

I also traveled to Houston. No regrets. Would do it again

I travelled from CA to Houston for Dr. Clavell and paid 100% out of pocket. I could have paid only a $200 copay for my local Kaiser doctor, but after consulting with him and then consulting with Dr. Clavell I happily paid 100x that for one of the best to do it.

Couldn't be happier.

Jage64: I have a feeling my insurance won’t cover implant. What did yours cost out of pocket?

100 X 200 =20,000

Lots of great Urologist out there. Lots of great post of peeps telling which Doc they used. Dr. Eid did a really great job for many of us. Going with Dr Eid you will probably need to use someone local as a follow up to remove stitches. I had to drive 90 miles to have mine removed and spent about 6 hrs in er waiting to have them removed. My local doctor wouldn’t touch them.
He has to be getting close to retirement as well.


Assuming you are close to Mayo?

8 months ago, Dr Clavell told me $23k out of pocket and that my insurance wouldn't cover it. Dr Karpman in CA quoted me $20k out of pocket and got my insurance to cover all of it.
