Hello,
Wishing you all a healthy new year.
I've joined this forum in the hope that some of you might be able to share recommendations and experiences. I've had Peyronies Disease for about three years now (don't remember exactly when I noticed it). I delayed treatment due to the pandemic, but I eventually saw a prominent specialist in Chicago, Dr. Laurence Levine, a while back. He recommended plication surgery, which scares me a bit. I want to get a second opinion, but I don't know who else to consult. If anyone had a positive experience with a Chicago-area doctor you'd recommend, please let me know.
Also, if any of you who have undergone plication are willing to tell me about your experience and outcome, either good or bad, I'd be grateful for any information you can share.
Thanks,
-Wayfinding

Welcome Wayfinding to the forum. As Stabler has informed you please fill out your signature line info. Dr Levine is my Dr and I have never been displeased with him. I have not had any surgery though just his diagnosis and following his instructions on treatment. I am sure other members will chime in if they have had surgery.
