Has anyone looked into the BEST surgeons abroad that are cheaper than US/UK?

[ohnoohno]

I know this isn't a situation to go cheap on but wondering if there's reputable surgeons in countries that specialise in peyronies disease + penile implants, like eid or hakky for example.

People say go to Turkey for cosmetic surgeries as it's cheaper so wondering something like this.

On the search to find a surgeon that's very skilled like eid or hakky but in another country where it might be cheaper.

You normally get what you pay for IMO


I wouldn't even contemplate letting an inexperienced doctor do the implant procedure.


You have access to a few surgeons in your country, not sure if you have insurance that will cover the operation or not.


Otherwise I would get on a plane and get to the US where there are many surgeons to choose from who are very experienced, you dont even need to stay in the US for any length of time, I was only there for 4 days and then on a plane heading home, I had no insurance and had to pay for my operation.

How much did you pay in Australian dollars?

I know of a doctor named Sean Park in Seoul, South Korea, who charges $19,600. He claims to have a lot of experience in surgery. But I suspect that his propaganda is exaggerated. In terms of the infection rate of reoperation, as well as the longevity, his answer is much more optimistic than that of the top doctors in the United States (I feel that there is suspicion of inducing patients to operate)

Yeah would definitely only go for some highly respected/reputable surgeon who does more than 100+ successful a year etc etc but it seems another user posted getting it done via the NHS in my country so maybe I'm in luck there...

How much did you pay in Australian dollars?

I paid excactly 20k USD at the time, mid 2022, just over 18k went to the surgeon and the remainder went to the hospital, Ive gotta say the operation went like clockwork and the procedure was excactly as Dr Clavell explained to me it would..................I only met Dr Clavell the one time which was the day of the operation, only other contact has been twice by email since, he asked me to send an email once I had flown home and confirm everything was ok, 2nd time I emailed him after about 6 weeks to confirm I should start cycling, I did have a video appointment a few months prior...........I started paying for the operation in installments starting about 3 months before I actually flew over to the USA, this was because my Australian Bank does not let me send over 5k Aud per transfer unless I go to my local bank, which I could not do as I am currently living in a different country to Australia.


From memory the exchange rate at the time was between 68/69c to the USD

How's it going for you Gap63? What are the payment installments looking like?

You could have it done by one of the world's leading experts , Professor Ralph, on the NHS.
 

[ohnoohno]

I think that will be my route! Found out I can do NHS after posting this. Thank god!

Is it something you're considering? I see you're from UK too

[ohnoohno]

I'm now reading bad reviews by ralph too. Which isn't something you want.

Figuring out if I can get enough funds together to go over to the US for either Eid Or Hakky, if anyone knows any other great ones then please chime in.

Clavell is also a very good option. Eid, Hakky, Clavell. Those three I know for a fact has patient satisfaction as their number one priority.

[ohnoohno]

Is Hakky the #2 contender it seems for implant surgeries?
