Oh Hhheeelllll no! My husband did the research and he found karpman. I hesitate to even call him a dr. He was late EVERY SINGLE TIME. sometimes hour or more. He spent MAYBE 5 min each time. My husband had a sever case of pyronies. After stretching and pulling and pills and shots for many months NONE of them working, karpman suggested a grafting procedure that will take the plaque out and grafted the penis and although we wouldn't be able to have an erect penis for sex unless he takes pills ,which neither of us cared. I told him we did not have sex but more then a couple of months at a time,which was not a bad thing. He said ( well maybe you would if I put the penile pump in. He showed me and said " Don't you want me to turn you zero to a hero." At this point I saw how actually arrogant and penis shaming he does. My husband bought the bullshit. He made appt two times because he didn't want the pump IRREVERSABLE and mars your penis FORVER. YOU WILL NEVER HAVE A NORMAL PENIS. ) he finally was penis shamed AGAIN with karpman showed use his limp fiinger and said,"do you want to look like this. You need the pump. ( well we didn't want the pump neither did my husband. He cancelled his appt twice for many months. I was very weary as was my husband. How did we get to this point. Everything karpman said before I got to that appt had to do with grafting. Nothing about a pump. The pump is for ONLY for sex. We were inform it could never be reversed but if he only had the graph done my husband would come back for the penile pump for sure so let's do it all.As we left I said, " he's an arrogant a hole and I wouldn't trust a word he said. " my husband and had the operation to put in a penile pump. What a disaster!!! And Karpman came into the waiting with a blood fill size erect penis. Want to hear? What he said? Not " your husband is fine..." you know like other drs. No, he showed me pictures on his iPhone and said "Don't I do beautiful work?! The amount of arrogance in this guy is craaaazy!!! ( which is why I was super scared of results. My husband penis (AFTER surgery was looking pretty wonky. He went to another dr After months and ok from Karpman. at UCSF and got a second. ( a friend of Karpman. We did not know this only that karpman knew him).he said the same thing and then said to me " oh you must be sssoooo happy! In which I replied no and that was a pretty inappropriate and rude thing to say. So we needed a third opinion after my husbands penis had small rods popping out his penis. They would break through his skin. His penis was mangled waaaay less with the pyronies itself. So the third opinion guys asst were relaying message and I was explaining the severity of the situation. After several emails back and for the told her I wanted to speak to whoever she was consulting. Because she was not going to give us an appt. with the dr. FINALLY I sent her photos and we got an appt very quickly. Meanwhile we got a FOURTH opinion who took one look at my husbands penis and said "the pump has broke. I can't believe any of these drs. others didn't see it happening. These will poke through and you will get an infection. He also noticed where the grafting was was horrible. He gave husband 2 choices both radical. And said go home and think about it there are lots of things to think about. Karpman did the opposite never sat and asked what the problem was just get you pill- shots- stretch ( which was expensive) then the grafting and then when I came in to Karpmans picture he was looking at ME asking if I wanted my husband to go to a "zero to hero" it was for my benefit but I didn't care if my husband and we weren't having sex all the time. "Do you want to be tied to pills for the rest of your life." I said yes and once again said my 68 year old husband will not be having much sex. It's not our thing and that is ok. " Karpmans answer was " well maybe you will have sex more with this pump. So it was done. My husband will never have sex, the pump has to come out and a very complicated procedure. Operation which insurance may not cover. The pump has to come out. That is a given. But how will Karpman make this right? By blaming someone else DO NOT DO NOT go to this penis mangler. read more

I had a kidney stone and I consider my self lucky that I have chosen Dr Karpman Dr Karpman explained very well what need to be done and most important: why it had to be done that way. He did magic! My pain is gone and also he is performing investigation in what was the cause of the stone! I highly recommend Dr Karpman! read more

I went to Dr Karpman for a couple reasons and his initial diagnosis was that I was suspect for diabetes. I told him I was sure I wasn't because I have gone to 3 different doctors over the last 10 years because I thought I was diabetic. The other 3 doctors all assured me I was "too healthy" to have diabetes and I continued struggling with feeling crappy. Dr Karpman ran the proper tests and confirmed I am diabetic and I finally received the treatment that I need. I now feel better than I ever have and I am thankful that Dr Karpman didn't judge my health by how fit I look. read more

I suffered an injury causing irreversible damage to my penis in my early 40s, this leading to depression as I looked at a dismal future for my sex life. I saw a total of 4 different urologists and consulted with a fifth via phone. I wasted 18 months with the first doctor who prescribed oxygenating pills that perhaps the urologist in question thought would have some sort of placebo effect. I had similarly misleading and sometimes contradictory advice from the others, with the exception of Dr. K. Ed Karpman gave me direct advice, and he didn't hesitate to suggest surgery because that's what was necessary. While some doctors may hesitate to pull that trigger when dealing with a younger patient, Dr. Karpman's view is that if anything its the younger more active patents that need the help to improve their quality of life. I could not be more happy with the results. My emotional heath received an instant rebound, followed shortly by my overall physical health. My renewed energy and enthusiasm for live caused me to make better overall decisions. Thank you so much Dr. Karpman!! read more

In 2015 my wife and I decided we wanted to have children. I had a vasectomy 10 years prior and thought there was zero chance. I searched and searched the internet and found Dr. Karpman. I read the reviews and gave him a call. He spoke to my wife and I and our view of a vasectomy reversal changed immensely. We drove 2 hours to meet him and then scheduled the reversal. Dr. Karpman performed the reversal in September and we were pregnant in December. Our son is now 2.5. When he was 1.5 we were trying for another but I had developed scar tissue which is very rare, and it created a blockage of live sperm. We scheduled another reversal in February and were pregnant again in April. Two Reversals, 2 Beautiful Boys, and we could not be more happy. Thank You Dr. Karpman! We are a success story twice over... read more

Dr. Karpman was amazing. He did my husbands Vasectomy Reversal 10/14 and we got our positive pregnancy test 03/15. We just had our daughter 12/15. We are so happy and pleased. He is our miracle Doctor. Super easy process and clearly it worked! We are so blessed and can't thank him enough for what he's done for our family. read more

I appreciate his dedication to his patients and his expertise. He cares and it shows. I always look forward to seeing him and his Staff. Jason and Anna are rock stars. He is friendly, honest and the best in the business. I could not imagine going to anyone else. If you need a Urologist, he is the best. Go see him. You will not regret it. I cannot recommend him highly enough. He has performed several surgeries on me and has not only saved my life, but improved it greatly. read more

I had a vasectomy 3 years prior to finding Dr. Karpman. I was very worried about finding just any Urologist and did extensive research before finding Dr. Karpman in the Bay Area of California. Although he was about 2 hours drive from Sacramento, it was better to have the best than find a doctor in a closer region without as much skill. I had called several doctors offices and Dr. Karpman was the most thorough and detailed from the first call. His staff is very professional and helpful from start to finish. I had a few concerns from reading different things about reversals and was nervous about the success rate after the reversal, pain, dysfunction, complications, anti-sperm, etc; but when I called the office I was able to have many of my concerns discussed on the initial call and reviewed with a follow up call by Dr. Karpman himself! I was given assurance that there was a very high successful rate on reversals for someone who had a vasectomy within 5 years. After having the initial interview over the phone, I was so confident in setting up the surgery that I immediately scheduled to have it about a month later in October 2015. When I got to the offices I paid about $8000 (half for the anesthesia and doctors office and half to the dr and staff) I sat down on a bed and the nurse asked basic questions. Dr. Karpman introduces himself in person (he was a young, professional and hip looking doctor) I had no concerns that I was going to be well taken care of. He explained what the sutures look like and asked if I had questions before starting. They then wheeled me in a room and then an anesthesiologist came in and gave me the drugs to knock me out. I had someone waiting because I was unable to drive home. I awoke with a sore throats from a breathing tube, but had no real pain immediately. They discharged me in about 2 hours after I woke... I had no pain and was very out of it. I was sedated and a little out of it so I needed a ride... (be careful with having a comfortable ride home, the car My buddy drove me home in was very shaky and it was uncomfortable). For the next several days I packed ice around my nuts all day... I may have iced them too long because the swelling wasn't going down... 2 weeks past and the balls were pretty big still. I changed my gauze every few hours for the surgery. I didn't want to look at the stitches, but it was black and blue... I iced it regularly and got some Vicodin for the pain for the first several days... it was pretty uncomfortable. After laying in bed and icing it regularly it felt like the swelling wasn't going down.. Dr. Karpman prescribed me some anti inflammatory medicine which helped the discomfort and pain... I was given strict instructions not to have sex or masturbate for about 2 weeks. This was important for healing the surgical area and honestly I was very nervous about shooting a load after surgery! Well after 2 weeks they had me come back to the office for a follow up. The follow up was a little weird, because I didn't know they were going to do a analysis of the sperm on that day. They asked for a sperm sample after 2 weeks. I was nervous because I still had discomfort in my testicles, but they asked for a sperm sample and they were able to do an analysis that same day. I had confirmed sperm swimmers! Dr. Karpman suggested we try for babies immediately, but we wanted to wait a year. After waiting 13 months to try to get pregnant, we tried and were successful immediately in the first attempt (honestly surprised) We are now pregnant and expecting Sept 2017! I would highly recommend Dr. Karpman read more

Ever since my husband had surgery in March of 2009 he no longer has an orgasm. This is very traumatic for the both of us. In addition; the surgery was not successful. No we do not want an appointment to try to "fix" anything I simply want to let you know what a disappointment you are and that you have permanently scared our intimacy. I'm sorry there isn't a place on your website for clients to write testimonials; you must filter through ones you get and only post successful reversals to gain business... Hmmmmmm FYI - From the very first consultation I felt discriminated against because we were honest about alcohol consumption, etc... I felt like we weren't the "perfect" couple in your eyes therefore you did not perform the surgery to the best of your ability. For your information we take very good care of the three children my husband has and we are better parents than most. You didn't give us that chance and more important whatever you did took away my husbands "man hood" and our chances of conceiving. $8,000.00 vasectomy reversal - might as well thrown the money out our car window. If you're looking for a reversal surgeon keep looking and do your research. This man will ruin you for life. read more

I've been seeing urologist Dr. Ed Karpman since 2008 when I was first referred to him by another great doc, Jerry Manoukian. When it comes to what urology is all about, I was apprehensive about my first visit, but Dr Ed put me at ease quickly. I've now seen him 8-10 times, including having him perform one procedure. Having seen some 40+ doctors over the years, he ranks in the top 20%: - he is knowledgeable, skilled, right up on the latest techniques - he explains everything thoroughly and in plain English, takes questions, but doesn't force an opinion - he gives you options. He'll take as much time as needed to answer everything and doesn't let you leave the office confused or apprehensive - a tremendous sense of humor, an engaging and disarming manner The one downside: because he spends the time he can get really behind on the schedule. My advice: book first thing in the morning and after lunch. read more

Thank You Thank You ! our 5 month old son would not be here with out you !He is more perfect than I could ever ask for. My surgery went well I felt well taking care of and admired your passion for what you do .You are giving life. I have reccomended you to a friend I am sure he will be contacting you similar situation 2nd marriage after a vasectomy and new wife never had children . Modern day medicine is awesome but I still give it up to Jesus,and I thank him for leading me to Dr. Karpman read more

After my second child was born, my wife told me that she was done having children and that I should get a vasectomy. I was 30 years old. I got the vasectomy and three years later, my wife left me. I then met the women of my dreams. Not only was she the BEST girlfriend I have EVER had, she immediately treated my two children as if they were her own. There was no question I wanted to spend the rest of my life with her, so marriage was never an issue. What was an issue though, was that she was adamant about having a child/children. Even though we were very much in love, she told me that if I didn't want to have any more kids, we could not be together. That's where Dr Ed Karpman came into the picture. It had been 5 years since my vasectomy. Since I was young, in good physical shape, and it had just been five years since my vasectomy, he was excited to help my wife and I. I believe he is one of the best at what he does, and it shows in his confidence. Dr. Karpman was very clear and up front with us about the procedure. He explained that the surgery is just part of the solution. The healing process is a HUGE part of it. Obviously, the healthier you are, and the type of lifestyle you live, will determine how well you heal. If you drink, smoke, etc., your body just won't heal well. For example, I know lots of people who have had knee surgeries. The ones that lead healthy lifestyles, and fallow the instructions they are given from their doctor, usually make full recoveries and some even say that their knee feels stronger than the knee that did not get operated on. The ones that keep drinking, smoking, unhealthy eating, not doing their rehab, etc., are always complaining about the pain, cursing their surgeon, and are just plain bitter. I have complete confidence in Ed Karpman's skills as a surgeon. My advice to anyone who is not in shape, or not living a healthy lifestyle is, if you are considering having a vasectomy reversal, you need to spend some time getting in shape first, and completely stopping drinking, smoking, etc. Needless to say, I had the procedure and it was a complete success. A year later, my daughter was born. To anyone who thinks that my story is not 100% true, go ahead and message me, and I will have no problem contacting you and showing you my new baby daughter that was born July 24th, 2012, ONLY THIRTEEN MONTHS AFTER MY SURGERY!!! Thank you so much Ed, my daughter is so beautiful!! There is really no way to express how much gratitude I have for what you did for my family and I. Hopefully this is a start. I will send pictures soon, and try and make it down there so you can meet Della. You really are the man. read more

Dr. Karpman helped my husband and I when no one else would. He is an amazing doctor with real heart. Sometimes life presents you with challenges and you need someone that is willing to go above and beyond to help you. Dr. Karpman is that person. I owe him my future and don't know how to ever thank him enough. read more

After researching many doctors in regards to vasectomy reversals we found Dr. Karpman. I liked that he was fellowship trained in micro surgery. We had a consult for the vasectomy reversal which went well. We decided to have the surgery March 8 2013, three weeks later had his analysis and had swimmers..... April 19 I was preggo. Our baby is soon to be 3 and perfect in every way. I think for these types of things to be successful the patient also has to be 100 % compliant. I work in healthcare and when a patient is non compliant or ins't truthful about all aspect of their situation I believe the success rate decreases. I am writing this review years later because we are debating on one more little one. We are happily going to go back to Dr. Karpman to consult and make sure blockage hasn't built up or scar tissue. The gift he made possibly is priceless to us ..thanks Dr. Kaprman and staff read more

Unfortunately 5 stars is the limit. In the last 18 months my life has turned upside down or should I say downside up. All my life I've been aiming for the stars. This was not what I had in mind. After countless and frustrating sleepless nights of searching the internet for a solution for Peyronie's disease I finally came across Dr. Karpman and his practice. How does one determine that a Doctor almost 3000 miles away is the one for you? Dr. Karpman agreed to speak with me on the phone for a brief introduction into available treatments. That conversation had me sold and I booked a flight later that day. Came to California for a consultation visit which was scheduled for me at the end of the day so he would not be rushed and I got his undivided attention. I returned home even more certain that I had struck gold. I had my surgery yesterday to correct my 60degree curve and I am beyond amazed. What a surgeon. I personally am in a profession were excellence is key to success and client satisfaction. I will never forget what this man has done for me and my sex life. The pain medication that was prescribed has been untouched. The discomfort I'm experiencing can't be called pain (or my wife would laugh at me) As far as I am concerned he is the best. The best are usually very busy so don't be offended if you have to wait a few more minutes in the waiting room to see the guy that's going to change your life for the better. Looking forward to the end of my recovery period to get back in action with my wife of 28 years. Thank you Dr. Karpman to you and your great staff for straightening things out. Before things were physically looking up but now they're mentally looking up. read more

Dr. Karpman has always taken the time to asses my health and talk to me about the options. His assistant Anna is always very helpful when I need refills or I have a question. read more

Dr. Karpman performed a surgery on my enlarged prostate back in 2015. Prior to the surgery, I had been suffering and had led a miserable life. Trying to put off the surgery, I had taken various medications which finally stopped helping me. Back in 2015, I moved to California from Seattle; and when I complained to my primary provider of my condition, he recommended I see Dr. Karpman. The surgery went well; but my recovery period lasted longer than expected, which was the result of my having been delaying the procedure for years. As a result of the surgery, my life has drastically changed; I've completely forgotten about my problem. I'm greatly thankful to this wonderful doctor, and I recommend Dr. Karpman to everyone having prostate issues. read more

After having 5 kids and a vasectomy we decided 13 years later to have 1 more. After talking to Dr. Karpman we decided to do a reversal. After a year I got pregnant again and now we have our perfect little daughter! I couldn't be happier and would recommend him to anyone I know. read more

I was shocked at the experience yesterday after reading some glowing reviews. For a health problem my husband was met with insensitivity, condescension and impatience which was ironic and insulting as we waited 1 1/2 to see the Dr. and after starting to feel rushed and not listened to when I commented on how long we were kept waiting instead of acknowledging or gasp apologizing in any way his comment was the reason he was late was patients spent time giving him extraneous information and didn't stay on point. The obvious truth is too many patients were booked. read more

Terrible doctor.. Didn't even listen properly what I had to say.. Hardly spent 5-10 minutes..Gave his verdict and ran away.. Later, sent a bill of 400 dollars.. read more

Dr. Karpman was the first doctor my husband saw for his sperm problems. His bad advice wasted tons of time for us. He did not communicate clearly with my husband about treatment options and the plusses and minuses. Later when we were transferring some records, we saw the note he wrote to my GYN, and it contained something very different from what he told my husband verbally, and if we had known it we would have taken a differnt path. It was shocking. Such terrible communication skills. read more

I love Dr. Karpman!! He saved my life. More specifically, he saved my sex life. I did my research on penile implant surgeons, and, in that arena, he's a god! With the advent of Viagra and the like, not that many urologists do penile implant surgeries anymore. As such, you have to be careful about who you choose. Not only does Dr. K still do lots of them, he's on the cutting edge (no pun intended) with respect to knowledge and skill about it. Unlike the other urologists I interviewed, he fully understands what's necessary to make the surgery a success - and what a success it was! I only wish I had it done 30 years ago. Talk about having the key to the candy store! He didn't just restore function and size, he GREATLY improved upon it. If you're sick of being embarrassed in the locker room, get this done and those days will be over. Best of luck. read more

All was good .. But, for some vague cases that require more details on why I have certain symptoms...I am not sure that I would recommend Dr. Karpman. I respected his straight-forward manner but...Perhaps he could have put a little more brainstorming, 'brainpower' into my case. He did not demonstrate any real desire or insight on how to diagnose and/or suggested other possibilities of how to pursue other avenues for my symptoms...nice guy...but for me...left feeling like I should have talked more with the CT tech...pretty routine and unremarkable. read more

Hip slick and cool... Dr Karpman is non judgmental, positive and makes you feel at ease about male health issues. He really wants you to be physically the best you can be. How refreshing after dealing with other angry incompetent anti-male endocrinologists in the past. I highly recommend Dr Karpman. read more

Dr. Karpman is a skilled surgeon. He did my husband's vasectomy reversal June 2013 and we got pregnant Feb 2014! An added plus is my husband regained some sensation he lost from his vasectomy. Dr. Karpman's staff at the office and surgery center were excellent and the doctor himself is so approachable, explaining everything in an easy to understand way. I like that the charges are all inclusive so we did not have any surprises. His prices are very reasonable compared to other centers I called. Also, I felt like we were treated very respectfully. I called Dr. Turek's office in San Francisco, and felt like just another number - another $ for him and his staff. Dr. Karpman treats you like the individual you are and really listens. He was truly happy for us when we told him that our Baby girl was born! read more

I was an alcoholic for about 30 years of my life. I had finally got to the bottom and was needing help. My wife had reached the end of her rope also. Her words to me where you can go or you can go. In March of 2010 I checked myself into the Men's New life Recovery Program. This is a faith based program were you work for room and board. During my stay I was able to get myself sober and with the help of God, my wife, family and friends. I am blessed to be able to put my old life behind me and start my new life as new child of God. I thank you Dr. Karpman and your staff for the professionalism you showed myself and my wife. With the birth of our daughter we feel truly blessed. God puts people in our lives to help us and I know that he did that with you. I was able to realize that the type of doctor that you are shows how much you want to help people succeed in the family way. Thank you again for everything that you did and for my family's well being. read more
