TOPIC: Anyone familiar with Dr Morganstern in Atlanta

Good deal. I haven't been able to escape work yet to call. I experience the same "vagueness". LOL

@EQ Thanks buddy! I agree. He does have good credentials and seems to have a good reputation. I look forward to the results of your consultation.

I dunno my friend. I gave up attempting to contact him. Can you send me a copy of his email via PM? I'd like to read it myself. Shortage of Artefill???? Doubt it.

@Texas Pumped to hear about your experience with Morganstern!

You ever talk to him about the PMMA? If you told him you were a mod for the boards he might wave the fee. I also would like the PMMA info he using.

Interesting that he uses PMMA since other than Artefill it's illegal to use here, and considering the price, he's probably not using it. If something goes wrong, he's in a world of trouble, regardless of what kind of waiver he has people sign.

@kcchief

I sooooo second that! Perhaps I'll take the plunge and pay him a visit before heading west. We'll see.

M7,
I got a email saying he can't get product?
Is there a shortage of artifil?

Thanks M7
Hope for good news.

@miracle7 - I am trying to schedule a phone consultation with Morganstern as soon as schedule permits. Morganstern does seem to have a great background and credentials. I will post a full report after the consultation.

@EQ If you find out any details, please let me know. I passed this information along to RN Wade also. A quick call to Dr. C's office might save you the cost of airfare! Perhaps he has uncovered more information about Morganstern and his current procedure involving PMMA and FFT. I DO like the fact that he (Morganstern) is a Urologist and therefore has a good understanding of penile anatomy. Most Urologist are against Phalloplasty. Also, I live in Georgia so he is really local. That's a strong selling point in my book. Let's stay in touch.

I agree. I'd like to have more info but am unwilling to cough up $200.

@edatlanta

Glad you brought it up! There was a debate going on in a separate thread about the legality of using Non-FDA approved PMMA (e.g. Metacril, Linnea Safe, etc) in the U.S. It was mentioned that Dr. Morganstern might have been a practitioner who has or does use non-FDA approved PMMA. Could you ask him about this in your consultation and/or correspondences? It would be appreciated!

kcchief,
If only being a Moderator gave me that power! To bluntly answer your query... No. They will not release any more information to me about the procedure other than to say he is using both FFT and PMMA and his patients (like all Phalloplasty patients ) are very happy with the results.
I will place another call to his office and push for more info one last time. For good measure, I'll mention my status as a Moderator on the best damn PE board in the world! Wish me luck. I'd love to know if he actually is using PMMA... what brand, concentrations, number of cases, technique, etc! I could be a reporter for the PB's Tribune!

M7,I just spoke with them as well.very vague with only answer is it is a fat injection or if you want a synthetic material they will do that(PMMA?).They said its custom to the each patient.Sounds like crap to me but hope she will email me more info.KcChief
