Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Implant still going strong 13 years later.
Flew to NY to have surgery, everything went great. Staff was professional and friendly. Highly recommend.

Best of the Best
After having seen many doctors during my journey with prostate cancer since 2015, I can say Dr. Eid is excellent. From the minute I had a Zoom introduction call with him through my last in-person visit post-op, I felt so secure I was in the best of hands. He deftly navigates each facet of surgery and patient care required to manage the delicate nature of penile implantation. He is also very approachable, present-minded and caring. His down-to-Earth nature is so comforting. The benefits of his care, including peace-of-mind, far outweigh the expense of traveling to Manhattan for this vital procedure. Dr. Eid and his competent, friendly staff are valuable assets to any man considering penile implant surgery.

Procedure went extremely well
I am a 69 year-old physician, who suffered from ED and Peyronies Disease. I had used Viagra, which failed over time, then penile injections, which also eventually failed to work. Dr. Eid recently performed the surgery, providing me with a penile implant. The whole surgical process was performed at the highest level of care. His staff was very knowledgeable and efficient. Recovery went smoothly. I am very happy with the result.

Several years after my radical prostatectomy, I decided to do something about my resultant Erectile Dysfunction. First line treatments, Viagra, vacuum pumps, injections, etc., were not working to my satisfaction, and I was becoming increasingly frustrated with the problem. Having spent years doing research in graduate school, I decided to scour the literature and research the possibility of a penile implant. My review led me to decide that a three-piece inflatable penile implant, the gold standard of penile implants, was the right choice for me. Next, I turned my due diligence toward the more difficult task, finding the right surgeon who would perform this technically involved surgery. After many hours of extensive investigation, the preeminent name that most frequently came to the surface was Dr.J. Francois Eid, a surprisingly convenient discovery since he is located near where I reside in New York City. During my first visit, I knew I had struck gold. Best result ever!

After being recommended by my urologist to another Physician in Manhattan who performed penile implants, I felt compelled to do further research myself to find an actual competent surgeon experienced in the field...one who had a more professional approach and who had respect for the tissue he was handling in an effort to reduce trauma and obtain a more satisfactory result. I was fortunate to have found Dr. Eid, whose emphasis was on infection control, minimizing trauma, informing regarding the procedure in detail and answering all of my queries. His staff of Sylvia, Ruby and Janice who have been with him over 20 years are all equally informative and helpful in relieving anxiety. I felt secure in undergoing the procedure and have had a good post-op recovery period without complications thus far. You would be in excellent professional hands if you choose to treat with Dr. Eid. His concern is for the patient, not self-aggrandizement or monetary gain. A consummate professional to trust.

Received a penile implant from Dr. Eid June 2021. He is extremely knowledgeable, skilled and confident. I had severe erectile dysfunction due to a venous leak, and also plaque caused approximately a 30% curve. After using and exhausting all other options, I decided to get a penile implant. From my research and experience with him, I believe Dr. Eid is the best penile implant surgeon in the world. He answered every question completely, and I felt like he did plenty of advance preparation so he knew exactly what he was going to do the day of surgery. I went into surgery with complete confidence. The procedure went great, everything was wrapped up for three days, and when I took the bandages off I was shocked to find there was not a single bruise. I starting inflating my implant on day 3 as instructed and it looks and works great. I could not be happier with the results. Dr Eid is Aces, and his staff is helpful and responsive as well. Highly recommend.

I ended up undergoing a fairly advanced procedure with Dr. Eid, the outcome of which has improved my life tremendously. It was a multi-step process getting the diagnosis and checking in with some other specialties and every step of the way both Dr. Eid and his staff were extremely helpful. I can't say enough good things. If you are a male and you want the best to help you with any difficulties in this part of your body this is the doctor and the practice to go to.

Dr. Eid and his team are the best! I knew that if I was going to go ahead with this surgery, I wanted the person with the most expertise, even if it meant travel. But Dr. Eid is more than a superb doctor. He's also a great guy. He is genuinely interested in his patients, has a good sense of humor and encourages patients to call with questions after surgery. His team, some of whom have been with him for many years, are equally superb and knowledgeable. Special thanks to Sylvia, Ruby and Janice!

Dr. Eid is a great surgeon and a caring, available practitioner. He performed a penile implant for me last year. There were no complications and within a month I was feeling rejuvenated and fully confident. I would recommend Dr. Eid to any man who could benefit from the procedure. It’s a life changer.

At two weeks post-op I could not be happier with my results. Admittedly, I was quite anxious leading up to my procedure. Dr. Eid and his entire staff took the time to explain the process and remained available and easily accessible throughout the entire process. Every aspect, from scheduling, insurance approval, pre-op testing, the procedure itself, and post-op care was handled with the utmost professionalism. Dr. Eid cares about his patients and one can sense this on the very first visit. I spent a lot of time researching doctors and educating myself about the procedure. I was specifically looking for a doctor with lots of experience and positive results, and glad for my sake that I chose Dr. Eid.

I recently underwent penile implant surgery with Dr. Eid. He and his staff prepared me very well for what would happen during the surgery and gave me a lot of materials about the nature of the surgery and the convalescence. The surgery went well and it has worked exactly as predicted. The convalescence was a little more difficult than I expected, a higher level of pain than I thought I would feel and a little more inconvenience than I understood. Notwithstanding that, I am very happy that I elected to have the surgery and how it has changed my life. Lastly, Dr. Eid and the staff were remarkably supportive and helpful, answering questions when I called in and allowing me to come to the office to clarify my confusions.

I had my surgery 3 weeks ago. Recovery was painful for the 1st week but now, 3 weeks out, my pain has turned into slight discomfort and I’m experiencing less discomfort with every passing day. Dr. Eid and his staff are nothing short of amazing! Sylvia and Mira have made my recovery so much easier because of their compassionate care! Dr. Eid’s bedside manner is one that leaves you knowing you made the right choice in choosing him! I haven’t felt this confident about my sexual ability since before my cancer. This is a very difficult decision for any man to make but one that a man must make when faced with no other viable alternative. I urge you to seek out a surgeon who has done thousands of these procedures. Your best chance of success is to get it done correctly the first time and for that your choice will inevitably lead you to Dr. Eid. I am eternally grateful to Dr. Francois Eid and his staff for giving me back what I thought was lost forever!!
