Dr. Clavell (Vitality Urology Institute)-awesome
You may notice that this account has no posts. I have too much personally identifying on my main account and would otherwise like to remain private for this post.
I am a physician. Trained in surgery. 25+ years in Emergency Medicine. I am giving a 10 out of 10 review for Dr. Clavell.
I came to Dr. Clavell as a result of discussions with Urology Colleagues, online reviews, watching website material, and knowledge that he is a high volume surgeon for these procedures. My problems were a pretty severe Peyronne’s problem and erectile dysfunction. On Dr. Clavell’s advice I elected to have a repair of the Peyronne’s deformity (hourglass deformity, instability, severe dorsal angulation) and penile prosthesis implant (Coloplast Titan Classic).
I travelled to Houston from a distance to have him do the consultation and at a later date perform the surgery. I felt that the discussion regarding risks, expectations, etc was professional and thorough. Pre-op routine was appropriate to reduce risks of infection associated with the surgery.
I have read Dr. Clavell’s operative report and I was impressed with the description of surgical decision-making and the extra mile he went to improve the chances of a good outcome. His surgical skill is without question. Those that read this may or may not realize that great care does not guarantee a great outcome, yet, to this point I am very happy with my surgical outcome and the care I received.
I am three weeks out from my surgery. It has somewhat more difficult from a pain perspective than I expected. I have not required any controlled (narcotic) medication for pain control. I have taken Toradol for pain control (about 20 in total). The biggest issue was trying to get to sleep with 3/10 pain over the first 2 weeks.
I obviously do not know my final outcome. I will post it here after 2 months and maybe again at 6 months. Wish you all well.
PS. Will try to respond but I am not on social media very often.
