Title: Which Surgeon should i chose ?
Post by: Fluttershy95 on February 02, 2016, 10:57:31 AM
Hey hope you can help me with my problem. I am really desperate about having my Srs as fast as possible. The Problem is I have two Doctors on my list Dr. Liedl and Dr Schaff both work in Munich. Dr Liedl would do the surgery End of this year but he just uses a normal Penile Inversion technique and i think his results look good but i also saw better ones. Dr Schaff on the other hand uses a very similiar technique like Dr Suporn and because of that he has a very long wating lists. He calls it the combined method. His results all look very natrual and i never heared anything really bad about him but the earlieast appointment i could get from him is End of 2018. What would you do in my Situation ? Shoiuld I wait 2 years more for Dr Schaff or should i go with Dr Liedl ?

This is once in a lifetime situation, no more changing after you went through it. So I see it if you want better asthetics another year isn't so bad to wait. And again you will only do this once in your lifetime.

If i was you i would definatly wait for Dr. Schaff - i heard from my therpist that it happens also often that people get out from his waiting list and then others can get it earlier. Also: His long waiting list speaks for him i think :)

I had my srs 4 months ago in vienna, the surgeon there uses also the 'combined method' but slightly different as Dr.Schaff - he had also meetings with him in munich... In my opinion the waiting time pays out defintaly. Munich/Schaff would have been also my favorite but because of money-issues i had to do it here in austria.

You have many more options than just two. This is once in a lifetime thing, so you should might as well do it right, no matter how much longer you should wait or how much you will have to pay... If you want a surgeon who uses a technique "similar" (which isnt really that similar) to dr. Suporn's , you might want to consider going to dr Suporn... All I'm saying, you have many options and only one choice to make.

you choose who you are more comfortable with, because in the end if anything happens you cant blame anyone! choose the one that speaks out to you more, the one that you put your faith in.

Choose wisely. No second chance with this. I myself would choose the surgeon with the best results but a lot rides on how you feel about their work. Sometimes it is best to wait for the best to become available, especially with SRS.

Love,
