Unkind remarks in the company pool

Saturday, April 2nd, 2011

March 29, 2011

Hi my name is Holter S. I really want to do this procedure because it is so hard to deal with the ‘SHT TALKING’ or other soldiers… Some of the things they say is not good at all even though I can die just like they can…. Iam just wondering if their is a discount for soldiers? I hope to get a response back from u email is the best way to contact me I’ll be home from AFGHANISTAN in a couple of months and dependin on how much money i have will decide if I can do it or not…. Thank You for your help…. Holter

Good afternoon Holter,

You find people who make unkind remarks are probably telling more
about their lack of good role models than anything else. Chances
are you are within normal limits. Some men are tall and some short,
but still most of these are normal.

Thank you for your interest in what we do.

After reading the attached, if you believe I am the doctor
for you, before discussing discounts please initiate a consultation
over the phone with our office by sending us your name, address,
and telephone number in an envelope along with a check for 250.
We’ll get started ASAP. We’ll have a lot to talk about.

Please keep safe in Afghanistan and thank you for your service
to our country. Play it cool in the company pool.

Cordially,

One more question about elevation of erection

Saturday, March 26th, 2011

Sorry I forgot to include this in the email I just sent. With the lengthening procedure, is there a loss of erection angle where the erect penis will point down? How severe and how often does this occur?  Geoff

Hi Geoff again,

We have not seen this although conceivably this could occur.  For sure while the elevation  angle is essentially uncharged, the ease of downward deflection with pressure is increased.  Perhaps this could be said humorously, if before surgery you can hang two wet towels on your erect penis without any deviation whatsoever, after surgery, it’s one wet towel.

Think of holding a pencil in your hand with all fingers wrapped around it and slowly working from your index finger to your 4th finger, release one finger at a time.

Peyronies has produced significant shortening and ED

Wednesday, March 23rd, 2011

March 23, 2011

I have been diagnosed with Peyronies. I have ocassional ED. Due to the Peyronies, I have significant shortening and I’m interested in the implant procedure and possible lengthing if possible. email or phone is acceptable means of contact. 

Raymond

Good morning Raymond,

Thanks for visiting our web site on Peyronies’s disease and penile curvature http://www.penisdoctor.com/peyronies.htmPerhaps you can relate to the before and after posted in the gallery. 

The best results for Peyronies’s without question come when there is simultaneous implant of an inflatable prosthesis, which should not be done if there is sufficient wherewithall to penetrate.

We are seeing several Peyronie’s patients every month.  One memorable patient from Ohio was done with a length gain of 1 1/4″ immediately on the table.  When the patient arrived in the recovery room and said to me, “how did I do,” I drew the curtains around his bed and pulled back his sheets and blanket and said, “look.”  An approving smile came across his face.

With post operative use of a vacuum erection device, he’ll even do better than that over the course of the next 6 months.

Correcting penile curvature is one of the mainstays of our practice and the enjoyment we derive is making two people happy.  We see patients from all over the world who seek remedy because of functional or cosmetic disabilities.

My knowledge is updated yearly by attending the AUA meetings.  At any lecture dealing with Peyronie’s you’ll find me sitting very attentively in the audience. 

While our surgical success rate is better than 95%, we do recommend a trial of conservative therapy for at least 6 months as this may often produce a sufficient enough resolution to make you a happy man.  But have you had this without success?

When your travel plans include the Miami – Ft. Lauderdale area please avail yourself of a proper urological consultation.

Or call our office to verify insurance coverage.  Anne is very knowledgeable.  We can even make a conference call with your company to verify your benefits.

If you are over 40 and are on medications other than hormones, please call the office before scheduling surgery,  as a letter of medical clearance will most likely be needed.

If you are a smoker, you must stop completely for 2 months before surgery and please never again.  Smoking causes vaso-spasm, impairs wound healing, produces excessive scarring, tissue necrosis,
irritates and inflames pulmonary membranes and enhances anesthetic risk.

This goes also for any products containing nicotine or nicotine like agents including nicorette gum, nicotine patches, Nicotrol inhalers, and second hand smoke.  Again not for 8 weeks before and not for 8 weeks afterwards.
Hopefully never again.

No aspirin or aspirin products, blood thinners such as Plavix, Coumadin, no anti-inflammatory drugs such as Motrin, Advil, Alleve, or Cox 2 inhibitors such as Celebrex or Vioxx for a week before surgery.  No Vitamin E or excessive alcohol or spices for a week before surgery as this may promote bruising.  Bruising can be reduced (many believe) with Bromelain 500 mg 1 twice a day, Arnica montana dose 30C (take 4 small tablets sublingually, 4 times a day), vitamin C 500 mg (3 times a day) starting 1 week before surgery.

Kidney transplant patient seeks augmentation

Wednesday, January 26th, 2011

How much (on average) does a penis lengthening and girth widening normally run.
I would assume insurance doesn’t cover any of this?

Also I have had a kidney transplant.  Is it safe to do this surgery?

And finally do men (after having this surgery) still have sensitivity?

Thanks, Benton

January 25, 2011

Good afternoon Benton,

Thank you for your interest in what we do.  If you don’t need this operation my suggestion is not to have it done, although we did elective surgery on a patient who had a cardiac transplant and is a professional golfer.

Best to confer with your transplant team.

Sensitivity is maintained, however my informed consent reads there’s always a possibility.

After reading the attached, if you believe I am the doctor for you, please initiate a consultation over the phone with our office by sending us your name, address, and telephone number in an envelope along with a check for 250.  We’ll get started ASAP.  We’ll have a lot to talk about.

Please keep in mind…  April is a promotional offer month if you stay at the Baltic Hotel (advanced tourist class, 877-622-5842).  Ask for Christina and mention my name.

Peyronie’s disease

Sunday, December 19th, 2010

I would like to come see you for a pre-surgical consultation for the treatment of Peyronie’s Disease.  I am a 57-year old heterosexual white male married to my wife 29 years.  My degree of angulation is quite severe (downward), there is narrowing in diameter at the site which is close to the base of my penis, and I can easily palpate TWO large masses.  One mass is on the lower right and the other is on the lower left, bilaterally symetrical and equal in size.  Erections are usually not a  problem and sex with my wife is possible but not comfortable.

My condition started a little over a year ago and I went through the usual course of Potoba and vitamni E as prescribed by a urologist.  Things only got worse during that time so he recommended I see a urological surgeon after a year has passed, which is consistent with everything I’ve read.  I’ve been stable now for at least 6 months.

So I was wondering if you thought you could help me and, if so, what would be involved in a consultation.  For example, are there particular days you schedules exams?  I’ll need to make plane and hotel reservations since I’d be coming from Maryland and I’ll have to align your calendar with mine.  Also, would you need me to bring photos? 

Any further information would be greatly appreciated but I can tell you that my wife and I are seriously interested in moving forward with surgery.  I learned of your expertise through your web site, which has been very informative.  You may contact me by return e-mail or by telephone.

Many thanks!

Jason

Good morning Jason,

Yes, we do Peyronies’s surgery using both plication and grafts.

For grafting we use the geometrical technique. 

After reading the attached, if you believe I am the doctor for you, please initiate a consultation over the phone with our office by sending us your name, address, and telephone number in an envelope along with a check for 250.  We’ll get started ASAP.  We’ll have a lot to talk about.

I am 57 years old. And am considering a Penile Prosthesis because of E.D . My doctor skirts around some very important questions I have. Length and girth. I would consider a trip to FL to get the operation. Thank you for your time.  Geoffrey

November 26, 2010

Good morning Geoffrey,

Many thanks for your in interest in what we do.  Since 1975, I have installed about 2000 implants and the closest and most appreciative relationship I have with patients relate to those who have regained the wherewithal to penetrate.

There are some thoughts about combining  enhancing length with implant surgery I’d like to share with you.   Yes, this can be done.   However, doing girth at the same time is too much surgery.  I would  respectfully propose you defer this until after your implant is well healed and encapsulated, a good 6 months later perhaps.

Be assure we look forward to your initialing a consultation over the phone (one time fee of 250) and when you arrive, anticipate we will show you every  courtesy.

Have a restful Holiday week!

Yours faithfully,

Is testicular enlargement or penile widening (with transferred fat) safe for diabetics or offer any positive health benefits (other then appearance) for diabetics or just guys in general? Also anyway, to increase chest hair surgically & easy?   GW

November 26,2010

Good morning GW,

Thank you for your interest in what we do.

Both of these procedures are to be considered cosmetic and of course medically not necessary or even helpful.  Psychologically?, that could be another story.

Diabetics do have a higher incidence of infection, but not that astounding, with any surgical procedure.  We install penile implants on diabetics routinely with erectile dysfunction as this is a well known etiology or cause of ED.  If the diabetic is in good control (hemoglobin A1C) and the surgeon is technically very mindful of many details, patients usually do quite well.

Please confer with others regarding chest hair, as I have in on my chest and back to spare with little on top.  Go figure.

Have a happy Holiday week, yours faithfully,

Had fat enhancement phalloplasty in 1997, now all gone, what to do

Monday, November 8th, 2010

Hello. I had enhancement phalloplasty in 1997 and had a good result, but over the years the fat has all dissolved away, leaving me with my pre-surgery girth. I am interested in having another procedure to increase my penile girth. Length is not so much of a problem for me. I have read about alloderm. I have also read about procedures where the corpus cavernosum is actually incised to help increase girth. I had fat transfer during my initial surgery. I am not opposed to doing it again, but the only concern I have is that after the surgery my penis was so large it made it difficult for me to wear normal clothing. I would be most interested in a procedure that would allow my penis to be very large when erect, and a more normal size when flaccid, if such a procedure exists. I am also interested to learn about the costs. Thanks.

Calvin

November 8, 2010

Good morning Calvin,

Thank you for your interest in what we do.

We have been aware of autologous fat transfer since the early 90′s and our experience has been similar to yours, plus the occasional formation of fibro-fatty nodules. Patients from other doctors have reported
the same.

I think AlloDerm, after 10 years of use, is perhaps the best option for girth enhancement. The results are enduring. We are aware of procedures to incise the tunica albuginea, the covering or casing of the corpus cavernosa to enlarge the penis, and many have met with complications especially erectile impairment. My recommendation is to stay away from this procedure. Sometimes things that look good on the drawing table don’t pan out.

Any procedure that enhances erect girth will correspondingly increase your flaccid girth.  Good news for most men.

With kindest regards,

Harold M. Reed, M.D.

Three physicians in 2 days, one after the other

Saturday, November 6th, 2010

While patients allied with the medical field comprise about 10% of my practice and we do see physicians on occasion, certainly unusual to see three consecutively, one after the other.  The first a pathologist from Australia for penile lengthening.  The next an orthopod from southwest Florida for girth enhancement, and the last anti-aging specialist from Michigan (“me and my wife just love sex”) for revision of phalloplasty done elsewhere.

What a honor.

was 8, now 5 adds up to unhappy camper, status post Peyronie’s and implant surgery

Sunday, October 17th, 2010

I received the 2 piece inflatable penis implant after suffering from priapism.

My penis size before was 8″ in length and after surgery is only 5″.

My esteem has been devastated and I am enquiring to see if I could possibly return to my original size (or bigger)

I have being doing some research and reduced length is not uncommon, but 3″ is an unacceptable reduction in size.

The surgery that I have seen offered that looks most appealing to me is the

Penile Triple AugmentationT surgery.

It consists of Penile Lengthening Surgery, Penile Widening Surgery and Penile Glanular Enhancement Surgery (penile head enlargement) all being performed at the same time.

The Penile Widening procedures that I think I need is the Penile Dermal Fat Grafts (DFG) or Dermal Widening Grafts or Allograft Dermal Matrix AlloDerm (R). 

Please let me know if there is any new implants or surgery methods (fat implant, cutting internal to allow extra length)

Ideally I would like to get to my original 8″ in length and a large increase in thickness. 

I understand the best 3 piece implant is the AMS 700 LGX.  What is the maximum implant length available?

Would this be possible and approximately what are the costs?

I would appreciate feedback on this as I want to feel good about myself again and regain my man-hood.

Yours hopefully,

Damien

Good morning Damien (today is Sunday),

Thank you for your interest in what we do.  If your stretched
penile length was or close to 8 inches immediately before surgery,
this is a big “wrongo-mundo.”  I could only begin to explain this by
saying, the proper size implants were either not on the back table or in the
operating room at the time of surgery.  Even if you had lost length secondary to Peyronies
or fibrosing cavernositis, when implants are installed this is the perfect time to recoup.

After reading the attached, if you believe I am the doctor
for you, please initiate a consultation over the phone with our office
by sending us your name, address, and telephone number
in an envelope along with a check for 250.  We’ll
get started ASAP.  We’ll have a lot to talk about.
