Rick's Story

This is an email I received today from Rick. He has had a long struggle with ED and other penile problems.

Dr. Milam has a training program at Vanderbilt for Urologist that want to be male sexual function specialist. That work is paying off with new doctors. Dr. Milessa Kaufman is one of those.

His doctor at Vanderbilt was Dr. Milessa Kaufman. She went to medical school at Vanderbilt, Interned at Vanderbilt and then went through Dr. Milam's program on male sexual function and urodynaics. She is now on staff at Vanderbilt.

This is Rick's email:

It was done Tues. the 14th.

Lots to tell...the surgery went great and so did the next day on the hospital. Dr Kaufman has been great. I'
l'll quote her as best as possible. She said "her and everyone in the OR were very impressed with the implant when she filled it up and that I would be very pleased with the result. That result is exactly what the manufacturer wants". Ok you talk about being on cloud 9. Now that's some bedisde manners!

Had a 4 hour drive Wed. morning to get home. It's been a long week. I tried to do to much with Father's Day. I paid. I had to take an oxycodone at 3am. I'll take another this mornning. All the pain is at the incision sight. Not surprising. Vandy calls daily to check on me. I have learned my lesson and will keep a much lower profile for the next week.

I can't wait to use the implant. I feel like a new man. Unbelievable really what a surgery can do for the male ego.

I'll keep you informed as I go forward. Thanks for all your help. I can never state the way finding you and having this done has changed my outlook on life. God Bless you Jack for sharing your story with me.

Footnote: I have received some feedback, by some men, that say that want a male doctor to preform a implant. That is fine I would have felt that way years ago. If you prefere a male doctor Dr. Milam is always happy to help.
